Unexplained Events of Abduction and Lost Time -Long Island, New York

Since I have come forward with the stories of my own lost time events that occurred in my own life I have had other people contact me here in New York concerning the strange experiences they also endured in this area.

A woman contacted me and asked to meet with me locally in order to tell me about a very strange happening in her life about 22 years ago in the mid 1980's. This woman was teaching in a night course in a local college at the time. Her class ended around 9pm each night. She would leave the college campus located in the Farmingdale area of Long Island and drive home the exact same way each night. It would take her about 10 minutes to arrive home. She followed this routine without deviation arriving home by about 9:15 pm.

One night this woman recalls following her normal after class routine. She recalls the entire night up to the point of the nights drive home. She remembers she was about to take one of her last turns towards home, which was a rather deserted stretch of road, before hitting the last main road towards his house. Her memory fails her from this point on.

Her husband started to become concerned as he waited for her that night as 10pm; then 10:30 pm came and went without any sign of his wife returning home on time. At this point he got in his car and followed the path his wife took home each night from the college. She was nowhere to be found. Concerned he returned home. He decided to wait another hour before calling the police.

The woman told me that the next thing she recalls about that night is driving down the road towards home and then waking up slumped over in her car. She found herself lying across her front seat, groggy and disoriented. When she sat up and looked around she had no idea where she was. She knew it was a deserted parking lot of some kind but did not recognize it. She started her car and drove out of the lot and followed the roads until she found a main road. When she started to drive she found signs that told her she was in Far Rockaway, close to New York City, about an hour and a half away from her home. She had never been to Far Rockaway before and had to drive around until she found a highway she knew to drive back towards her hometown on Long Island.

This woman told me she arrived home about midnight terrified and confused. She told her husband what had happened. She then began to vomit and feel faint. Her husband helped her to bed and noticed she had a bright red rash on her arm. She fell into bed and went into a deep sleep.

The next day she woke up feeling ill and shaken. Her stomach hurt, her head hurt and she was frightened. Her husband searched the car and found what looked like something had sandpapered the back trunk section of the cars paint. He also thought the car had a very sour chemical smell inside.

The woman has no recall of what happened to her that night. She knows she did nothing but try to drive home and that something interfered with her journey. To this day she has no idea what happened to her or her car that night. I found her to be a very intelligent rational woman and cannot offer her an explanation other than it fits into many other stories I have heard concerning lost time in our area.

I found a man who like this woman had a similar event happen to him in one of the coastal towns of Long Island. He lived in the Islip area of Long Island that runs along the south shore coast. It is a lovely small town filled with a Main Street, schools and people living along tree lined streets. Two state parks, the coast, which runs out to the Atlantic Ocean, and a river that runs into the interior of Long Island border this area of Long Island. I always considered it a paranormal heaven as it provides a perfect set up for entry into the population yet offers cover by way of the surrounding parks and waterways. I was not surprised to find this the location of this poor mans ordeal.

The man, a perfectly normal man in his early 40's, was driving to his house one night in 2001. He arrived on his street and was nearly home when he noticed a cloud like bright fog ahead of him. Before he knew what was happening this fog seemed to surround his car. He stopped his vehicle to find four small beings standing in front of his car. He described them as silver gray small human like creatures with huge eyes. He has no other memory of what happened after that. He does have an extreme terror about the night that has him living with fear and trauma.

The man next found himself a few hours later in the town of Lake Ronkonkoma, which is located in the middle of Long Island, about 30 minutes by car away from his street. He has no idea how he or his car got there. All he can recall is waking up on a strange street in a wooded section of Lake Ronkonkoma. He was not familiar with the area and needed to drive around for a while to figure out where he was. Eventually he found a main highway and was able to return back to his street and home.

When the man arrived at his house he felt ill and exhausted and fell sound asleep until late in the morning the next day. When he awoke he had a pounding headache and backache. He also found a strange rash across his back. He checked over his car and found the paint burned on his hood.

This man does not know what happened that night. He is extremely terrified by this incident and does not want his identity known. He is fearful of the area and moved to another town. He does not want to discuss this night and does not want to undergo any type of regression to bring up the memory of what happened during the missing hours.

I found both of the incidents of this woman and man to be very similar. I think it is probable that there are other people on Long Island that also may have had similar events happen to them. I believe the fact that these incidents go unreported keep them swept under the carpet and unknown to the public who live right in the areas these events are occurring.

I do know that since I have been writing about my area of the country I have received emails daily from people telling me they too have had a strange unexplained paranormal event on Long Island. I have had a lifetime of experiences I cannot understand since childhood here on Long Island and feel this is a highly active paranormal landscape that goes unknown due to the fear of reporting the events by the people having them.

I have built my reputation as a paranormal writer on the fact that I will protect the identity of those I write about above all. I know what it is like to face a public who have been trained to turn away from things they do not understand or deal with them with ridicule. It has become the brainwashed response by the public towards that which they do not comprehend . Of course this is sad and unnatural. Curiosity and solving the events of the unknown would be a far better choice.

If you have had a paranormal event happen to you, please contact me. I will always do my best to provide the information to those who are interested in the experiences of others. Realize that if you do tell your story it can help ease us from the fear and bring us closer to the light of truth concerning these matters. It could also give people a framework on how to deal with a paranormal event, or even teach them how to survive one.

ALIENS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED

FROM DEX

Over the years, I've encountered three different little humanoid groups whose skin was white or a chalky white. The Greys are gray and their eye shape differ.

I met with human appearing people with different color hair from Coma Berenices and the scientists from other star systems who shared that enormous ship jointly.

Some of the humans were close to 7 feet tall, while others, were around 6 ft. and 5 ft. 9 inches average etc,..variety of hair colors...brunette, red, black and blond hair male and females.

I've seen a couple of beautiful blonds with page boy hair cuts and beautiful larger than normal eyes. A male and female that looked like twins.

I've met other nice looking blonds both again male and female. The male had piercing eyes. Penetrated enough it shocked a person he was staring at. This girl couldn't get over it. She kept repeating how the guy's eye's burned right through her. She felt like he penetrated her soul. Apparently, his interest was in me because he struck up a conversation and pointed out a few things.
The list goes on.

At any rate, no Reps nor Grey's.

The Divine were not physical.

They were the Whole Light Being messenger's and what I think of as a Grand Instructor I would describe as a God of it's realm.

I really can't describe this unlimited Living Royal White Light Consciousness. There were no boundary's. It was one of the Creator's within.

They reign collectivity in the names of the Most High. The names given to me were Shekinah and El Eliyon. The Most Highs Spirit.

I was shown the actual Power Source of the Great White Living Light that animates Life and I believe all of the material side of Creation. The Power's appearance and rumbling was so Great and Immense it made the sacred ground I stood on tremble. I wondered how bright this White Light could get. It showed me. The Living Light began increasing it's brightness it had to erect a wall in front of me to shield it's intensity from burning out my eyes. That overwhelmed me.

These are similar experiences the Prophets have described. Hurtak included.

INSIDE THE ALIEN MIND

From The Coming of Tan
Riley Martin's contact case

(A good treatise for election day)

... In most civilizations, advanced or primitive, living or dead, legends and recordings of space visitors are an integral part of their history. Even in those ancient times, we find that these sky visitors generally chose to contact and communicate with the common man instead of with those who were rich and powerful, and the same holds true even unto this day.

The aliens don't seem to be interested in the political and position aspirations of man nor are they interested in literally preserving most individuals from those privileged walks of life. The future survival of the human species will not lie in the hands of the dictator or the privileged dynasties but in the propensity of the common man to assure mass survival by the sharing of available resources. Those who hoard and control any commodity of necessity to the masses are the cause of most of man's ills and are of no present inspirational or spiritual value to the aliens and are of no real future value from the practical sense.

Then be sure, there has always been and there will always be a definite need for leaders among humans, just as there are always leaders among the animals of nature. If prehistoric leaders among the human species had been of the same quality as are the leaders of today, the Homosapiens could not have survived. If the strongest hunter had hoarded all the meat and fruit from the rest of the clan, then the masses would have starved. If the stronger males had killed all of the weaker males, or failed to protect all the members in sickness and in health, they would have died out. In order for any race or society to endure and prosper, each member of that society must be given or have unhindered access to at least the bare necessities of life.

The aliens look upon this planet as just one world community and tend to measure the worth of man by how he treats those the least among his kind. They do not recognize country, state and city boundaries when observing the planet. This great imbalance in the possession of natural resources is a thing restricted exclusively to man on this planet.

The aliens revere the wisdom of the aged and view all children in a common parenting sense. No Biaviian would ever permit another of their kind to live in want of the common necessities of life. It would be, to them, an unbearable shame, which would reflect upon them all. In their eyes, when compared to all of the other living orders of above animal intelligences, the human species must be placed at the very bottom, not because humans are technically or even spiritually inferior to all other intelligences, because we are not, but because of man's willful perversity of moral character concerning his own.

During the course of our extensive conversations Tan asked me a question which I've never since forgotten. He asked, "Martin, if all humans were given those things essential to survival, would the rich be made poorer or the strong made weaker?" I said that I didn't think so. "Then the humanoid bi-ped is a most repulsive species indeed, for not even the Targs are guilty of such a thing nor the Skreed."

Of course, the overall situation on Earth is not that simple but the concept of a global community free from the want of food and shelter is clearly within our agricultural and technological capabilities, and it wouldn't necessarily alter the balance of social and economical power. In other words, the rich would remain rich, the famous famous and the powerful powerful. Bearing this in mind, the aliens have concluded that such negative circumstances are the results of man's willful inhumanity toward his fellow beings.

Our first recorded rules or laws governing the workings of a communal society were probably of extraterrestrial origin. These first rules and laws were not born of divine inspiration but were simply a structuring and humanization of a more primordial method of progression. No philosophical or spiritually exalting doctrine has yet managed to improve upon the simple premise of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." If this rule alone were followed as closely as possible, it would nullify most of the greater problems afflicting humanity. The common elements of decency and fairness are truly universal in their application and hold true on Biaveh just as on the planet Earth.

ALIEN ET UFO CONTACTEE BACKGROUND REPORT

Theresa J. Thurmond Morris

On or about July 19, 2008 I attended a MUFON meeting. At that time, I was asked to become an Investigator in order to assist others who have also had UFO sightings, abductions, and most importantly contact. I know that the state director was sharing his time with me based on my first hand experiences and my reports made to MUFON.

Earl Benezet, the Kentucky State Director mentioned my psychic skills and I explained that everyone has these intuitive abilities but that not everyone chooses to use and enhance their abilities. Also, I explained that certain people who are contacted are encoded with extra DNA that are camouflaged in the earth medical tests performed so there is no difference shown or in other words, we cannot be detected from being other than normal. I cannot prove this but I know this to be the truth. My basic thoughts:

Being that I have been a paid professional Investigator most of my life, as either an Arson Investigator, Insurance Investigator, Private Investigator, Legal Investigator, General Service Investigator, Investigative Reporter, and Syndicated Journalist, I decided to consider the offer.

I had lived a life with these other beings in my life and kept it a secret in order to appear normal and lead a rather simple covert life. Why not assist others with their future changes that will occur. I had been involved with these other than earth beings while doing what I could to be a normal human being living on earth.

What makes me different is what makes me who I am. I realize now that there is more to life than simply existing and going through the motions of the social community and cultural settings with the word normal used as a guideline in life. Normal was all I ever wanted to be and as I became an adult, I learned that normal only paid the bills and allowed one to get by in life. Normal was what the major populace was and became based on the normal standards set by the cultural standards on the location where one was born.

Since my birth, I have seen change. Through time, life seems fluid and in constant flux. Life is forever changing. Energy flows in all beings and I want to know how it works together to complete life on earth.

From the time I was born and had my first memories, I can still remember thinking and seeing from my baby bed with bars while holding a bottle. I have memories that apparently are not normal until one becomes at least three or four years. I believe that children today can retain their memories much earlier than is expected of the normal children born in the past. This is another reason to assist others with the alien abductee ET UFO Contactee reports.

Regarding financial gain, there is no pay involved, in case others want to know. It is considered a hobby at this time on earth, and the only way Ufologists are paid is if they are fortunate enough to write a book that sells or if they have the credentials and the interest in their speaking abilities.

Most authors who dare to write a book are smart to promote their own product and most are expected to promote and market their own book. They do this in many ways and most have book signings and begin a lecture tour. The people who get paid are those who take their interests and create their services into a product. It is a simple procedure in the democracy in which we live. It is hard to collect on labor and services unless in a recognized professional field. Therefore, those in the field of Ufology, have to take their own time and money and invest it into their equipment. Usually the equipment consists of cameras, recorders, video recorders, measuring devices, and the investigations are similar to that of forensic crime scene investigations.

I personally paid for professional training in college, in the Illinois Academy of Business and Public Security, fire, arson, fraud, and subrogation classes, and in the military training I received. The best experience for investigators is still in the field with hands on experience. The more investigations the more experience one receives. When I first began in the 70´s, we would take our findings to a forensic lab. Most states have different types of forensic labs some are government and some are public. MUFON has a book with the way they want their investigations submitted to the main office. Remember, all those who are doing these reports use their own funding including paying postage. It´s a big business. I as most people, will not do it expecting financial gain. It is a nonprofit organization. We do it with charity in mind to assist others. Same goes for writers. Most do it to let others know to share, network, and to let others know they are not alone. That is why I bother to write and share what I know now. It´s not for personal gain.

I learned to work among professionals in the late 1960´s around Nasa. That´s a whole other story and one that does involve my knowledge of alien UFOs known among astronauts and engineers of Nasa. Background paperwork on me began in 1968 so in the computer system since then; FYI interested former government readers.

Regarding my history and my first contact, I can only remember my first recollection of when I was first up in a UFO and looked down. I saw my own body lying in a field. I cannot explain how this occurred and this is one of my first memories. Being an Investigator by nature, I have gone over my memories through the years. Other than lying in my baby bed looking out at the sky and watching them outside my window in the clouds in the sky, I can only remember finally taking my first ride on one. I realize this sounds unworldly and strange to readers and makes me seem rather unique or different.

I am only one of six billion on this planet. I have always told myself to fit in, blend in, and for God´s sake not to discuss aliens and UFOs. I was told by beings that were authorities and guides in physical form, to not talk about certain beings that I saw.

This makes one feel like they are part of something special and it is a secret. I found out how to communicate and leave earth. I wanted to meet the other person like me who could fly Gus the UFO with two seats.

I had lived my life normally, being an Investigator, working in a civilian position for the government, joining the U.S. Navy Reserves at a late age and learning all I could to be an entrepreneur and contractor. I spent the first fifty years of my life in training on earth. I spent the last seven years researching the Internet and learning about how to write a book. I had this burning passionate desire all my life to write books. I had announced this in the third grade and being a writer was what I announced I would be as a chosen profession. I knew who I was from the time I was born. I knew that I was on earth for a purpose.

I had spent time on earth being very ill in my little girl body as a child. This was very hard times and I learned to leave my physical body and return. I experienced two near death experiences that I can recall and possible more that I cannot. My first was at the age of seven and I had a complete blood transfusion and my blood was cleaned with a machine outside of my body due to Hepatitis A or the type that was contagious. I was never told how I contracted the disease. The second time, I had placenta prevea with my fourth and last daughter during childbirth. I remember both experiences like they were yesterday. This is also how I can remember most all my sightings and contacts. They became so numerous though, I got where I stopped paying attention to them and just accepted them as a way of life for me. I could not help how others saw me but I could control what I shared with others so as to only share thoughts and words that were considered normal.

I was the oldest of seven children, four girls and three boys and I had a good middle class life in good homes. We always had good food, good clothes, went to church, and made normal grades in school. We were all considered popular and our home was where all the other kids wanted to hang out. The same happened when I was a mother and my daughters were young. I put them in baton, dance, and on stage, the same as my mother did with me. I guess I come from a long line of stage mothers. But, my children were all independent just like I was and did their own thing in junior high and high school. I even went to college with my oldest daughter after she graduated but she was not interested in college. They are all mothers now and are totally independent souls raising my twelve grandchildren. Since I wanted a boy and had only girls, I received nine grandsons and three granddaughters in this lifetime. They will probably be contactees as well. I know my daughters experienced UFO sightings with me and this was a normal way of life for them.

Gus is the galaxy universal shuttle that landed in White Sands, New Mexico. He is the one I know personally and yet, I have been allowed to experience many types. Gus is made of an other than earth allow. We will never have this unless the EBEs decide to share this with us. EBE is for extra biological entities or what the military called beings not of earth in the past. My knowledge is from first hand experience or what is called hands on Contactee experience. The ones that I know are like us except they are telepathic and do not have a little finger. The others who work for them are considered the small beings that are telepathic. There are also the grays and many more types who are said to be in the alliance. There are beings that work together for the good of all.

There are some that apparently I am not aware of that others call greys and reptilians that have an agenda that is not familiar to me. I just know that they always put the beings back. This part of life I am learning about just like everyone else on earth. I was not abducted against my will. I lived a life with total cooperation and understanding of who I was as an alien human hybrid so to speak. This is a term that many people in Ufology are just now coming to terms with. In other words, we haven´t gotten much attention because most people do not even believe in EBE UFOs, much less their hybrids on earth. I don´t think others like Ufologist, Stanton Friedman, advocates or believers are to a point where they can handle my truth. To answer readers questions; No I have not heard from UFO Hunters, History Channel, Larry King or Stephen Spielberg. Media is improving awareness of my reality of beyond 2012.

INDIA'S UFO DEBATE

(Sent in by Ted by way of Dexx)


India may be the first country to explain to the world about extra-terrestrial and UFO contacts - the secret debate is on
Staff Reporter
January 06, 2005

New Delhi is in the middle of a big secret internal debate. On one side the largest democracy of the world is eager to explain to its citizens and to the world about the ongoing contacts with the UFOs and extra-terrestrials. On the other hand there are invisible untold international protocols that prohibit doing anything that may cause worldwide fear and panic.

It is well accepted between the UFO and extra-terrestrial experts that all the five nuclear powers are in contact with the beings from other stars for quite some time. Recently India has seen enormous news on UFO contacts and secret UFO bases in Himalayas near the Chinese bases. In Ladak, for example the locals clearly point out the everyday phenomenon of large triangular spacecrafts coming out below the ground and Indian security forces protecting them.

Military officials and politicians have confessed the fact that India has been contacted. India has been told the rules of the Universe.

The current debate is on whether to keep it secret like other countries are doing or in tradition of a total transparent society come out and tell the truth. India is so open and democratic; it is very difficult to keep a secret for long. The biggest concern of the Government today is that unlike in other countries, it will be very difficult to keep it secret for long. If the information comes out through unofficial channels first and then the authorities are pressed against the wall to confess, two bad things can happen. First, it can really cause a panic in the country as well as the world. Second, the way the Indian politics is run, the ruling party will be thrown out of power in no time i it is ever found that the Government withheld such information from the public.

The recent rush of world leaders to India is remarkable. Starting from Russian President Putin to major Senators from America have visited or are planning to visit India. European Union is in deep discussion with India on cooperation. All sanctions against India's nuclear programs and Indian Space Research Organization are in the process of being lifted. India is cooperating with Europeans and the Americans in space explorations and technology research program. India is also part of World Trade Organization. India is receiving major outsourcing contracts in IT and call-center service work from America and Europe. India's Forex reserve is at a level never imagined before because of international direct investments from Western nations, Japan, Korea and others. Interestingly, China the arc rival of India changed its posture in the last few years to make India's friendship and trade a priority. India is slowly getting to the point when it is accepted as a permanent member of the Security Council. All the five Security Council members China, America, Russia, France and UK support India's inclusion.

When all these factors are added together and analyzed, it seems like India is being told by the world to abide by the hidden protocols and in exchange be recognized as a major emerging superpower.

The debate the country is facing internally is whether to abide by the laws of the world and the Universe to be recognized as a superpower or be truthful to its citizens and the world.

According to sources close to the Government, the UFO contacts is known by quite a few politicians in the opposition and of course by those who are in power.

The military has legitimate concern of not letting the secrets out either.

Recently, India's foreign affairs minister Mr. Natwar Singh came out and said that for India it was not necessary to become a nuclear power. He is a strong supporter of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, India's former Prime Minister who initiated the nuclear program in the mid sixties. India first exploded a nuclear device in Pokhran in early seventies. The whole country including people from his own party questioned Mr. Singh for such an irresponsible statement. But on analyzing his statements, it is evident, that based on what he knows now, being a nuclear power really does not matter much because the technologies controlled by the extra-terrestrials are so advanced that all our technologies mean really nothing. But importantly he may be irritated with this controversial ongoing secret debate and what he really meant was that if India was not a nuclear power, the debate on UFO and extra-terrestrials will never be there in India.

BIGFOOT

By Charles Jones

This is a report of evidence, tracks and sightings of a creature in Walton County, Florida between July and October 1987. The sightings of a large animal of unknown origin, presumed to be a "Bigfoot," were made by a 13-year-old boy. I had a discussion with the parents in December 1987 and later with the boy and his parents in January 1988. The parents and their son have seen this document and agree with the details of the two encounters described herein.

On one occasion the lad, standing on a clay road, saw the animal about 30 yards into the woods. The boy and the animal both saw each other and started to leave the scene at the same time. The boy stopped and "heard the animal going down through the woods." (This is the first time I have seen Bigfoot referred to as an "animal" - TC)

During the second encounter the youth got a very detailed description of the creature. One afternoon the lad was walking along a clay road looking for deer tracks when he caught sight of the creature out of the corner of his eye. The boy said it was surprising how the animal could look like a large, dark old tree. The creature was standing about ten feet away from him and the two were separated only by a small bush.

The boy froze in fright and the animal also froze in a standing position presenting the boy his right profile. The creature walked on two feet as a human would. When he froze, for several minutes the animal did not move anything except his eyes and ever so slightly turning his head in its attempts to see the youth.

The lad said the animal was about nine feet tall with his crotch about five and one-half feet or so above the ground. Almost the entire body was covered with long reddish-brown hair except for a white hairy streak that ran from the base of his throat narrowing as it neared the groin. A small patch of brown hair separated the white blaze from the white beard on his chin. The nose, ears, upper cheeks, palms of his hands, and bottom of his feet were not covered with this long hair. The nose was very human, long and narrow, with the top beginning in a pair of dark eye brows. The skin was black in color.

The boy said the eyes were brown "like a hamster's eyes." This was explained to mean the eyes were slightly bulging and the entire eyeball was the same dark brown color. The eyes were set under a prominent brow ridge that shaded the eyes. The forehead was sloped back to a pointed skull. Human shaped ears with ear lobes were clearly visible on each side of the head.

The hair was so long that no mouth was visible. No fingers or fingernails were visible from the back of the hands. The animal was not facing him but occasionally cut his eyes and slightly turned his head toward the boy, then returned them to the forward looking position. The boy thinks he was face-to-face with the creature for maybe five minutes.

The lad started to tremble with fear and dropped the walking stick he had in his hand. Finally, the creature turned his head to face the boy, gave a little growl, turned and walked off into the forest. The boy watched the animal walk about 50 yards up a small hill into the forest. The black leathery skin on the palms of his hands, fingers and bottoms of his feet were clearly visible. The animal had two large hair-covered buttocks separated by a definite "crack." The buttocks shook as the animal strode away. When the animal was walking on sand, each step could be heard as the feet struck the earth. On leaves or other ground cover the steps were silent.

When the animal reached a point about 50 yards away, it turned and looked back toward the youth. The boy noted the hair on the animal's cheeks moved out and up as if the animal smiled before it turned and disappeared into the woods. (!) The Creature had a strong scent like a skunk. When it walked it swung it's arms and the boy could see the muscles in it's legs flex and the buttocks move. When asked if the animal was a male or female, he indicated male because it had a chest (pectoral muscles) like a body builder. The youth noted the animal had tremendous biceps. He also added that well developed stomach muscles were visible even though they too were covered with the long hair.

When asked if this could have been someone in a costume, he replied no; because he could see the muscles in the animal's legs flexing when it walked. He also added that the body hair was so long that when the animal walked the hair swung away from the body then flopped back against the body with each step. He guessed the weight of the animal to be at least 800 pounds and probably more.

The parents showed me about ten photographs of foot prints they had taken in the woods near their home. They indicated these were of two separate animals, one of the footprints was about 17 1/2 inches long and the other about 16 inches long. Each footprint was distinctly humanoid with easily distinguishable toes, heel, ball and instep. On one, the fifth or smallest toe was separated more than the others and set off slightly to the side of the right foot. These photographs were very similar to the eight tracks I saw in those same woods on 10 October 1987.

The tracks I saw were not as fresh as those in the photographs so the two smallest toes did not have the same sharp definition. But the tracks were definitely similar in structure and size. I followed the tracks for about eight steps through the woods before the tracks were lost in a bed of leaves and pine needles. The track was about 15 to 16 inches long and about 8 inches wide across the ball of the foot. The heel and ball impression was about 1 to 1-1/2 inches deep. The tracks were of both feet; first the right, then the left, etc. I could see where the animal transferred its weight from the heel to the ball of the foot. In one step the ball pressed the soil backward as it exerted force to push the creature's weight forward. I, at 210 pounds, stood next to the tracks and did not dent the clay and sandy soil. I stepped off the stride which was two of my fully extended strides. This distance was later measured to be approximately 84 inches. In one footprint The animal pivoted on the ball of the right foot and changed direction veering to the left. During a later interview, I was given a picture of the first footprint I was shown. This photo was taken before a plaster cast was made from it and before I saw the prints. This explains why, when I saw it, the footprint did not have the same definition as the photo.

During the discussion with the parents the mother was surprised when I told of my readings where Bigfoot was reported to have twisted off small trees. The mother said she had seen a couple of trees in their woods that appeared to have been twisted off and could possibly have been done in this manner.

The mother also related a story of an incident where something was seen rising from a nearby lake and frightening her young daughter. The mother and daughter were canoeing on the lake when something raising up from under the water was seen by the daughter. The object or animal was not in the line of sight of the mother. The young girl had not been able to explain what she saw but it was nothing she has ever seen before or since. This incident also occurred within the July to October 1987 time frame.

Although the creature cannot be positively identified, all indications tend to support the presence of a creature similar to those previously identified as "Bigfoot.

AIRPLANES FALLING OUT OF THE SKY

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24505353-661,00.html

Planes falling out of the sky near Australia due to secret technologies. I know, it sounds like something out of Lost, but the real story might be almost as interesting. Last night I was watching the news, when they mentioned that two separate aeroplanes have gone into steep dives due to technical malfunctions, both near the same location in Western Australia. Then they didn't say any more about it. I thought to myself, "that seems rather odd, why didn't they say more about this apparent coincidence?" Then this morning Rick sent this article to me, which suggests that a U.S. military base may hold the key to the mystery:

Powerful signals from a secretive naval base are being probed as a possible cause of a Qantas jet plunge last week... The Australian Transport Safety Bureau today said it would examine whether powerful electromagnetic signals from the communications base could have sparked the emergency.

The base uses powerful low frequency radio transmissions to US Navy and Australian Navy ships and submarines. It is understood to be the most powerful transmission station this side of the globe and includes 13 radio towers, the tallest of which is 387m tall.

...ATSB spokesman David Hope confirmed the new line of inquiry today, after "several" groups had raised it as a possibility. "We're looking at everything as part of a very thorough investigation," Mr Hope said. "That's been raised by a number of people to say that somehow or another this US military base has got a very high frequency signal tower there and that could somehow interfere with electrical devices - so we'll look at it."

Now for your daily dose of strange: I commented to Rick that the story sounds like something the Dharma Initiative would be behind. Then I saw the satellite image of the base. As Scooby Doo might say, ruh-roh...

Okay, so it's an octagon versus a hexagon. Don't spoil my fun dammit! I want to believe!
