The Devils Harvest: The End Of All Flesh Part 23

I read on.

The book started by explaining about different observable facts worldwide. Calling it a tapestry of the unexplained, because everything seemed to be interweaved. For instance, the North American Indian burial mounds were laid out and constructed with the same mathematical precision as the great pyramids of ancient Egypt, the Puma Punku temple in Bolivia, as well as Stonehenge in Europe. Every major, ancient world culture has similarities in their building style, even though apparently the cultures remained, and advanced separate.

Also, how did the ancient people build these monoliths, it asks?

Amazingly, the great pyramid of Gaza is positioned on the exact intersection to mere millimeters of the world's longest line of lat.i.tude and the world's longest line of longitude, sitting perfectly in the exact middle of all the worlds landma.s.s. And the pyramids four sides align perfectly with the sides of a compa.s.s; even though such an instrument was unknown to the Egyptians and wasn't invented until thousands of years later.

Stonehenge and its mystical circles. Built over a three thousand year period, other sections being added over time. How had they collected the huge twenty tonne slabs of bluestone that came from the Welsh mountains over three hundred miles away? Or move the fifty tonne sa.r.s.en stones that came from Marlborough Downs, over twenty mile away? And how, from above, it was laid out in the same mathematical precision as our solar system, with the sun as the centre and all the planets circling. It wasn't until thousands of years later that Galileo Galilei first made the discovery that the earth orbited the sun. And hundreds of years after that that all the planets were discovered.

And Stonehenge in Salisbury England isn't the only one of its kind. America even has its own version, called Mystery Hill in Salem, New Hamps.h.i.+re.

There is one site, the Armenia's Carahunge stone circle, situated in the area of Sisian, which is one of the oldest megalith sites in the world, dating back to around 5500 BC. But what singles this site out is that the standing stones have holes bored through them that align with different constellations. The princ.i.p.al stellar alignment is towards Deneb, a star in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan.

Even older, which has been cla.s.sed as the oldest known manmade megalithic structure is Gobekli Tepe in south-eastern Turkey, which predates Stonehenge by more than 6,000 years, making the site over 11,000 years old. This was built 6,000 years before writing was supposedly invented. And even more startling is this site is also connected to the constellation of Cygnus the Swan.

In the Temple of Jupiter, in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, there are stones incorporated into the building that weights an estimated one thousand tonnes. There is another stone that rests on the ground at the quarry, which weights an estimated twelve hundred tonnes. Today it would take over twenty heavy lift cranes to even raise it an inch off the ground. How did the ancient civilization that supposedly didn't even have pulleys or the wheel move them the half mile to the temple?

It goes on to say that in the Puma Punku temple in Bolivia (which is in the fight with Gobekli Tepe for the oldest site) that dates back to 10,000 BC, making it over 12,000 years old. Stones here are cut with laser precision, in to complicated patterns and interlocking designs. Even with the technology we have today, we would find it almost impossible to duplicate such an achievement. And this is from a people that had no forms of writing. And like all other cultures of the time, no wheel or pulleys. Just stone age cutting tools apparently.

Just outside Mexico City, Mexico is Teotihuacan, containing one of the largest pyramidal structures built in the Americas (Coincidently its base is exactly the same size as the Great Pyramid of Gaza). The site consists of two vast pyramids the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, as well as numerous smaller temples and other structures running down a vast section called The Avenue of the Dead. But what is most surprising, is just like Stonehenge in England, this collection of pyramids and temples are laid out in the same exact mathematical precision, copying our solar system. The Pyramid of the Sun represents our own sun, and all the other pyramids and temples representing the different planets elliptical orbits.

Is it just coincidence that this theme springs up in ancient megalithic structures during different time periods and on different continents all over the world?

It continued on about old burial sites and stone buildings from different locations around the world. Most stone structures and etchings could only be understood from a high alt.i.tude, looking down. All of the civilizations didn't have any means to do so.

The most famous example is the Nazca Lines, in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. These are vast geoglyphs etched in the surface of the desert pampa sand. There are over three hundred figures made of straight lines, geometric shapes and pictures of animals and birds. All can only been seen from a high alt.i.tude.

Archaeologists, ethnologists and anthropologists have for years studied the ancient Nazca culture to try and determine the purpose of the lines and figures, some of which are over three hundred meters long. One theory is that the Nazca people created them to be seen by their G.o.ds in the sky. One single line is over twenty-three miles long that looks surprisingly like a runway cuts across several mountain ranges, which have the summits completely flattened, millions of tonnes of rock gone, which isn't anywhere in the vicinity? How could an ancient civilization (that only had stone tools) flatten whole mountain ranges?

One Nazca image is called the Mandala, which is a large square measuring 180 feet across with a large inner circle and many smaller circles. Researcher Gilbert de Jong believes it is an ancient depiction of consternations.

Could all these monolithic structures and drawings have the same builders? The same architects? Influenced by other ent.i.ties? Ent.i.ties that had far advanced technologies that help design and build these structures.

The book explained about famous researchers and authors who specialize in UFO's, such as Brinsley Le Poer Trench, with his Hollow Earth theory. Jacques Vallee, who is famous for promoting the Interdimensional hypothesis. And the most famous of all Erich von Daniken with his book, Chariots of the G.o.ds. Daniken believes that ancient aliens landed on earth tens of thousands of years ago, and are the source of all our worlds G.o.ds and myths. He single-handedly popularized the paleocontact and ancient astronaut hypotheses.

Like Erich von Daniken all the authors believe the reason for all these coincidences are the effect of aliens that have been manipulating mankind since the beginning. How else, they have asked, could civilizations from one side of the planet to the other have been copying each other's designs? Unless some higher power was involved, coordinating everything.

One famous UFO specialist, John A. Keel, explained about strange beings in his famous book, The Mothman Prophesies which has since been adapted in to a blockbuster movie. He states, anthropologists have constructed a map of ancient Indian occupancy. The Monacan settled the lands to the east. The Erie and Conestoga made their homes in the north. The Shawnee and Cherokee occupied the south and southwest. Even the barren deserts of the far west was divided and settled. In the whole country there was only one location that was referred to as uninhabited.

The area has unusual ancient stone ruins, set out with mathematical precision. If the Indians didn't settle in this area, then who built them? And why did the ancient Indians avoid this fertile section of land?

An old Indian legend talks about tall white skinned, large wide eyes strange beings that populated this part of the country. And this was long before any white Europeans came exploring and destroying in the area.

Hadn't the little old man resembled a native Indian? His tinted red skin, high cheekbones.

This small books hypothesis made it stand out at the time, and highly ridiculed. The author strongly believes that beings unbeknown to us, but effecting us, reside on our own world but somehow remain concealed from us. Living in a dimension beyond the reaches of our scientific instruments. They are not creatures from outer s.p.a.ce, from another galaxy, but have always been here, always effecting us, and will be here long after we are gone.

They are not extraterrestrial, but rather, ultraterrestrial. He followed the Jacques Vallee line of thought.

I remembered the image of their craft buried deep in the earth at the farmyard. I presumed them to be from another planet, another solar system. What if they were from here, needing a vehicle to cross over in to our timeframe, our dimension.

It talked about the Mothman again, but in more detail.

From as far back as man can ascertain these beasts have been known about. Adorning cavern walls in Southern France, and in similar caves in Northern Ireland, and in deep underground chambers in Somerset; England, dating back to before Christ. They were depicted on the inside of ancient Indian burial mounds throughout America and Canada, even as far down as Argentina. Also, written on old ma.n.u.scripts found in medieval vaults in Yorks.h.i.+re, England. Even being carved on ancient stone wall hieroglyphics in the tomb of several pharaohs.

Hundreds of stories from countless countries, all describing and depicting them the same; large humanoid shaped, around ten feet tall, wide at the shoulders tapering down to a narrow waist. Large wings around ten feet in width that fold close to its back, and being grey-black in colour. What dominates though are its fiery red eyes.

The author also believed that the demons of old have been constructed from what people had seen of these beasts. Countless witnesses from around the world have seen these demon-like apparitions. Symptoms of close contact is unparalleled fear, pouring from the red eyes creature, making you want to curl up and die, or run until your body could no longer support your weight. Most though couldn't move, transfixed, staring at the spectre. Also the strong lingering smell of sulphur. The ancients referred to it as the smell of Fire and Brimstone, also a.s.sociated with demons and the devil.

Another reaction to close contact is suffering from watery, red swollen eyes. Medically termed as Klieg Conjunctivitis eye burn. Supposedly caused by ultraviolet rays actinic rays.

My eyes caused me no pain in any form. Had I been far enough away for it not to effect me? Or had being in such close quarters with smoking man given me some kind of immunity?

What was I taking from this book? Is it possible these beings are in control of these so-called Mothmen? Using them as reapers in what they referred to as The Harvest? Or were the beasts simply the means to take the life from humans and animals alike, killing them without damaging what they needed? And they had other means of collecting the souls. Possibly a device in the craft?

The book also talked about beings that turn up in the same location as the Mothman, referring to them as Oriental in appearances and small in stature.

But what dominates most of the book though, is UFO's.

It goes into detail about the most famous UFO story of all time Roswell, New Mexico. It's a story everyone knows well, mainly because it is the only official time the military acknowledged the existence of UFO's.

On July 8th, 1947, Roswell Army Air Field public information office issued a press release, stating that personnel from the field's 509th Bomb Group had recovered a crashed 'flying disc' from a ranch near Roswell. It was splashed all over the front page of Roswell's Daily Record newspaper.

They soon changed their tune. The following day the Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force stated, it was in fact a radar-tracking balloon that had been recovered by the RAAF personnel, not a flying disc.

The book goes on to explain that UFO's have been witnessed, written about, and depicted in art and ancient paintings, as well as cave drawings for as long as man has inhabiting the planet.

There is UFO imagery on cave walls in Tanzania, Africa that are estimated to be over 29,000 years old. One in Itolo that has a disc shaped object floating over the land. Another in Kolo that has four beings abducting a woman, with a UFO floating above with even a being looking out the box shaped object.

In the French cave of Pech Merle near Le Cabrerets there are cave paintings estimated at between 17,000 and 15,000 BC which depict a landscape full of animals and scenery. But it also has numerous unidentified flying objects depicted in the scene along with a multiple armed being.

There are more at Toro Muerto, Peru estimated at 12,000 to 14,000 years old. The ones at Val Camonica, Italy are dated around 10,000 BC. At Ta.s.sili in the Sahara Desert, North Africa there is wall paintings of humanoid beings in s.p.a.cesuits, and flying discs, dated to around 6,000 BC. In Sego Canyon, Utah there is a wall painting estimated to be 7,500 years old depicting aliens with antenna. At Kimberley, Australia there are depictions of aliens dating back 5,000 years. And these are just a few of the hundreds of unexplained cave drawings from all around the world.

America has always had UFO sightings, but they have soared since 1946. The most notable of that year being the famous 'Battle of Los Angeles,' where a UFO was fired upon by US troops. A photo was even taken of the event, capturing a large floating disc in many searchlight beams.

It has been estimated that there has been tens of thousands of eyewitness accounts of unexplained flying saucers doc.u.mented worldwide since 1946.

The National Aeronautics and s.p.a.ce Administration (NASA) is a United States government agency which runs the civilian arm of the s.p.a.ce program. NASA was established by the National Aeronautics and s.p.a.ce Act on July 29th 1958. The aim of NASA, according to their own website, is: 'To reach for new heights and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind.' But for the last fifty years it has being doing the opposite, purposefully hiding and covering up information. It has at least twenty known (leaked) film clips showing UFO's in their extensive archives. Also fifteen NASA astronauts have gone on record saying they have psychically witnessed UFO's.

On March 13th 1989, armature radio enthusiast, Donald Ratsch picked up a transmission from s.p.a.ce shuttle pilot Cornel John E. Blaha, USAF who had been on five different missions, logging up 161 days in s.p.a.ce which announced: "Huston, this is Discovery, I still have the alien s.p.a.cecraft under VFR." VFR or Visual Flight Rules means object is visible by eye.

On the Apollo mission of 11th July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin witnessed UFO's firsthand. The radio broadcast states: "These 'Babies' are huge, Sir! Enormous! OH MY G.o.d! You wouldn't believe it! I'm telling you there are other s.p.a.cecraft out there, lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They're on the moon watching us!"

Malcolm Scott Carpenter was the second American astronaut to Orbit Earth in 1962. On May 24th of 1962 he stated: "At no time, when the astronauts were in s.p.a.ce were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFO's."

Carpenter, along with Astronaut John Glenn, also called them, 'living critters,' on a TV interview in 1999.

Colonel Gordon Cooper, a Mercury and Gemini Astronaut, said on January 14th 1997, in an interview with the National Enquirer: "I know other astronauts share my feelings... And we know the government is sitting on hard evidence of UFOs."

On January 25th 1994 NASA's Deep s.p.a.ce Science Experiment, named Clementine launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The unmanned probe sent back 1.8 million digital images of the moons surface, between February 26th and April 22nd 1994. Hundreds of thousands of these images have never been released. The images that were released on the World Wide Web had one slight problem; thousands of the images had been digitally smudged to cover over objects and artifacts that NASA didn't want the general public to see, and it wasn't subtle, it was blatant.

But NASA didn't edit everything, some objects were missed. Straight lines thousands of miles long, vast and small circular (floating) objects, geometric patterns, and what can only be described as vast structures, some that rise over a mile and a half from the surface, all unnatural to the terrain.

Astronaut James A. Lovell, who was on the first lunar orbit flight, Apollo 8 in 1968, stated, when ask by Huston what the surface looked like from sixty miles up: "The moon is essentially grey, no colour. Looks like plaster of Paris." In stark contrast, the United States Geological Survey website has some startling photos of the moons surface, all in vibrant spectral colour, reds, greens and blues. So why have we been lead to believe it's a dull grey colour? Does colour suggest life possibly artificial life the book asks?

There is also SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) set up in 2007, which is a scientific research collaboration with a collection of forty-two twenty-foot-wide radio telescopes spread across a field three hundred miles north of San Francisco. The goal, as it states on the website, is: 'To detect intelligent life outside Earth.' Known as Radio SETI, it uses the radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from s.p.a.ce. Such signals are not known to occur naturally, so detection would provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology.

Famed Physicist Michio Kaku said that if SETI gets ET contact the information would not immediately be released to the public. The government would have to consider the implications for ET contact, because there are protocols in place for handling this kind of information.

Has SETI already found the elusive signal, the book asks? We may never know, because SETI has had many set backs and had even been closed down, due to lack of government funding for a while.

The United States annual budget for 2011 was set at 3.83 trillion dollars, so the mere 1.5 million to keep the SETI program afloat seems insignificant. Or is it just inevitable, with the vast amount of eyewitness and photographic evidence that the huge radio satellite telescopes are just not needed; the world governments already know the answers?

The book was full of information I had never heard of before, kept from me by supposedly concerned governments, to save me from worrying.

Almost every country has an organization to monitor and collect information concerning UFO's. Europe for example has an umbrella-organization aimed to connect more than a hundred UFO researchers from eighteen European countries.

America had Project Blue Book, a series of systematic studies of unidentified flying objects, starting in 1952 and ending in 1969 (which took over from two previous projects named Sign and Grudge). Project Blue Book had two goals: 1) to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and: 2) to scientifically a.n.a.lyze UFO-related data.

All this from a government that doesn't officially recognize UFO's.

Regulation number 146 which was pa.s.sed on December 1953 from the Joint Army-Navy-Air Force made it a crime for military personnel to discuss cla.s.sified UFO reports with unauthorized persons. It carried a two year prison sentence. It seems strange that they would pa.s.s a law concerning something that doesn't supposedly exist.

Due to the Freedom of Information Act, The Project Blue Book Archive has been released to the general public, via free online access. Over 50,000 official US Government doc.u.ments relating to the UFO phenomenon are on this site. Of course the book states it goes without saying, only the information they want you to see is available.

The book goes on to say UFO's have been around a lot longer. As well as government cover-ups and ancient wall paintings there is ancient doc.u.mented, written proof for all to see.

Ancient Sanskrit from India describes flying machines, calling them Vimana's in the Shakuna Vimana. Not only did the ancient Sanskrit text perfectly describe the aerodynamic flying s.h.i.+ps and the way they moved through the sky, but also it had pages of ancient drawings that depict the flying machines; images that could be out of a modern day Haynes manual, with its cut out sections and intricate diagrams. These Sanskrit's date back over 6,000 years.

According to the ancient sacred book of the Ethiopians, the Kebra Nagast, even King Solomon had a flying craft and had airports all over the world.

The Hakatha is the ancient written law of the Babylonians. There it states quite clearly: The privilege of operating a flying machine is great. The knowledge of flight is among the most ancient of our inheritances. A gift from 'those from upon high'.

In a famous set of 3,000 year old Egyptian hieroglyphics, from Abydos, there are images of what appears to be what looks like a helicopter and other futuristic flying vehicles.

Is there another dimension running parallel to our own? Beings finding a way to crossover, and have been doing so for as long as man has been on this spinning ball of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Some helping, teaching, and leading mankind. While others taking what they want.

The book questions whether these visitors, as the ancient Sumerians believe, created our civilization. The Sumerian cruciform script is the worlds oldest know language. In one of their ancient city's, called Nineveh, over two hundred clay tablets were discovered, describing in detail how a powerful G.o.dlike race called the Anunnaki, meaning Those Who From Heaven to Earth Came, took what was then upon the earth a primitive stone age man and made him into something far superior. Was h.o.m.o sapiens neanderthalensis the subspecies of humans? Did they use what we would call DNA gene splicing to genetically enhance neanderthalensis into us?

Why hadn't any real research gone into this? Only a collection of men taking it seriously, writing books to inform the populace. Books that are shuffled to the back of the bookshelves.

Thousands of UFO's are sighted worldwide yearly. Have they been scouting for the right location for the next Harvest? Were millions about to fall victim once again? Would the ent.i.ties make it look like a virus? Like back in 1918 when they collected almost a hundred million. We called in the Spanish Influenza. They called it the Harvest.

I tossed the empty chocolate wrapper into the pa.s.senger footwell, falling to join with the rest of the litter.

I knew where the smoker and the others were. I know what they are capable of. What was I going to do about it? What could I do?

I started the engine.

31.

The Light I drove reluctantly along the narrow lane, the sky now dwindling to a shadowy grey. I always found it hard to drive during this light, everything seemingly blurring together. The ancient legends say dragons are supposedly blind burring this time, the merging of night and day the twilight hour.

I took the left turn next to the green bench. Taking a quick glance up at the embankment. No Indian.

The narrow lane was just as empty. The high hedgerows making it seem much darker. Parts of the hedges looking like long gnarled fingers leaning down to grasp hold of the car. At some points the branches sc.r.a.ped along the roof, a strange metallic sound, sounding completely alien in the stillness of the night.

As I rounded the next corner the engine spluttered and jolted, then died.

For f.u.c.ks sake.

For the first time I moved the photo of the twin children aside and looked at the fuel gauge. Empty? No, it was still quarter full.

Then it hit me. The book talked about incidents when UFOs were active in certain areas, cars went dead. Cameras didn't operate. Phone lines died, along with mobile signals.

I had no idea how close the farm was. Had I been moving around in a large circle, finding myself only a short distance from it? Maybe I should take up baguazhang.

Only one way to find out. I couldn't sit in the car all night. Even though my mind was screaming at me to do so. Just curl up on the back seat. So comfy, so tempting. Wait for the sunlight. Everything seems better in the light of day.

I popped the boot, seeing if there was anything I could use. A car-jack. Better than nothing. I grabbed the L. shaped solid metal bar in one hand. No torch. A Tesco's green six-part.i.tioned cardboard drinks holder, containing five cheap empty wine bottles. A plastic container of engine oil and a half empty bottle of coolant and for some reason a tin of hairspray. I pushed the hairspray into my wide baggy pocket on the front of the tracksuit top. Then I remembered the fat woman's large top-heavy haircut, possibly needing quarter of a tin a day just to keep it in position.

I returned to the front of the car, rummaging through the glove compartment. A few CDs, ABBA's Greatest Hits, Adele 21 and Birdy. A collection of paperwork for the car. An old rag. A plastic disposable lighter. I pushed the lighter in my other pocket. I even ran my hand through the litter in the footwell, to see if there was anything useful hidden below.

I found nothing.

I stood staring down the lane into the tree-covered darkness. A chill ran up my spine. I put one foot in front of the other and headed off down into the belly of the beast. Sun Tzu once said: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The wind picked up slightly, making the trees and bushes lining the lane gently sway from side to side. Large droplets. .h.i.t my head and shoulders.

Branches could be heard creaking and sc.r.a.ping together. The wind was rustling around the fields beyond my sight. No owls hooted. No bats somersaulting around in the air above. No foraging rodents. Everything was deadly silent, as if everything was dead or knew there was a larger predator on the prowl.

I started jumping at every screeching branch. Leaves scuttled down the lane twisting around my trainers. The smell of wet leaves and damp gra.s.s was prominent. I walked around fallen branches that had broken and been scattered about like old bones.

Then something lit up the darkness. Off over the top of one section of dense trees was a glowing radiance. So bright it blotted out the moons waxy light that was peeking through the clouds.

I continued along the road, jumping up to see if I could get a better view.

Once or twice I tried climbing up the embankment that the hedges clung too. But it was to steep. Even though there was plenty to grab hold of. I soon gave up after grasping a bramble in the darkness. Sucking my bleeding hand I walked along the dark narrow lane, which now had numerous shadows reaching from the effect of the powerful illumination.

A gate.

A farmer's gate gave an opening into a large field. The light in the distance now easily seen, it was a large ark of pure light. The shadows from the woods cascading across the empty field, like the shadows of men standing to attention.
