The Serpent Beings or the Nagas are said to possess many different kinds of machines including aerial craft. According to ’Sharula’ (or Bonnie), the Aghartian Federation of humans utilizes their own space fleet (known as the ’Silver Fleet’); they assisted in the construction of Telos itself -- or rather the extension of the underground metropolis from the already existing natural caverns below Mt. Shasta; and are allegedly allied to at least 100 human-occupied underground cities throughout the world, many of them in conflict with the reptilian ’Draco’ species and their ’Gray’ collaborators.

Sherman A. Minton Jr., a respected Reptilian and Amphibian biologist, in his book ’VENOMOUS REPTILES’ (Charles Ceaibrer Sons, N.Y. 1969) quotes from some ancient Hindu legends describing the Nagas or the serpent race. These legends state that this demon-race has the ability to inflict almost instantaneous death upon a person through utilizing a cosmic ’fire’ force (possibly electromagnetic energy). Minton also states the fact that the ancestors of modern-day ’snakes’ once possessed limbs which became atrophied through non-use over the ages; that there are lizards with elongated snake-like bodies, a type of ’missing-link’ between the saurians-lizards-and-snakes; and that nearly all reptiles with "well developed" limbs live underground! He also refers to legends which state that some Nagas were present at the birth of Guatama Siddharta (Buddha), and others which allege that a major book on YOGA was channeled at a ’well’ which is believed to be an entrance to the underworld of the Naga’s, located in Benares, India.

NOT ALL subterran societies are of the insidious, reptilian or reptilian-controlled variety, as further evidence of this we add the following revelations from ’Commander X’, the mysterious anonymous U.S. Intelligence official who has revealed much about ’inside’ government knowledge of alien civilization both beyond and beneath the earth. He is the author of the book ’UNDERGROUND ALIEN BASES’, published by Tim Beckley’s UFO REVIEW/Abelard Press, N.Y. Mr. ’X’ was apparently very familiar with the Subterranean-world controversies that surrounded early issues of AMAZING STORIES magazine (circa 1940-1945) and ’related’ publications in the early years when the science of Ufology was first beginning to emerge. This may explain his present position in U.S. Intelligence, and the sensitive knowledge that he has access to. He reveals the following paraspeleological events which reportedly took place in South America:

"..Of all the countries on the face of the Earth, none is more mysterious, or less explored, than is Brazil. Miles upon miles of this country have never been set foot upon by white man. In these areas live whole tribes of savage Indians whose civilizations are said to be akin to those existing at the time of the Stone Age. Many of those who have dared venturing into these pockets of unexplored jungle have never come out. Perhaps the case of Colonel Fawcett will be familiar to readers as an example of what I mean. He supposedly was captured by a tribe of wild Indians while in search of a ’hidden city’ said to be located in the confines of the dense jungle...

"Before his death, Dr. (Raymond) Bernard had sent this writer many personal letters regarding his findings related to... under- ground civilization(s). We quote from these communications in the following:

"’I arrived in Brazil in 1956 and have been carrying on my research since I met a Theosophical leader who told me about the subterranean cities... that exist in Brazil. He referred to Professor Henrique de Souza, president of the Brazilian Theosophical Society, at Sao Lourenco in the state of Minas Gerais, who erected a temple dedicated to Agharta, which is the Buddhist name of the subterranean World. Here in Brazil live Theosophists from all parts of the world, all of whom believe in the existence of the subterranean cities.

"’Professor de Souza told me that the great English explorer Colonel Fawcett is still alive, living in a subterranean city in the Roncador Mountains of Matto Grosso, where he found the subterranean city of Atlanteans for which he searched, but is held prisoner lest he reveal the secret of his whereabouts

(Note: Bernard refers to the inhabitants of this city as ’Atlanteans’, when in fact other accounts suggest that -- like the underground cities below the east coast of North America -- many of these cavern cities were originally CONSTRUCTED by an ancient antediluvian race. This race might have been very similar or even akin to the lost race spoken of in the ’Atlantis’ legendary, whose abandoned caverns were later re-inhabited after the flood. In ’this’ sense the inhabitants might be referred to as ’Atlanteans’, although the present dwellers of such underground communities probably do not have any direct ’genetic’ ties to the antediluvian ’Atlanteans’. - Branton).

"’He (Col. Fawcett) was not killed by Indians as is commonly believed. Professor de Souza claimed he has visited subterranean cities, including Shamballah, the world capital of the subterranean empire of Agharta. I then went to Matto Grosso to find the subterranean city where Fawcett is claimed to be living with his son Jack, but failed to do so. I then returned to Joinville in the state of Santa Catarina, and there continued my research.

"’Just recently two explorers returned from entering a tunnel near Ponte Grosse in the state of Parana. One of them had recently entered alone and spent five days in the underworld city there. It had about 50 inhabitants plus children. The fruit orchards were recently planted, and the inhabitants received fruit from another subterranean city. During the last visit, the two explorers were met at the entrance of the tunnel by a guardian and the chief of the city, who told them that they should return in two years when the fruit trees will start to bear, but cannot enter now.

"’The same two explorers entered a tunnel in Rincon, state of Parana, and finally came to a chimney-like structure with four chains hanging down. They descended on the chains but when they came near the bottom a gas with a chemical odor started to come up and forced them to ascend. Obviously the subterranean dwellers tried to keep them from reaching the city (This seems often to be the case - Commander X).

"’Our explorer J.D. (name on file - Commander X), who is a mountain guide of the Mystery Mountain near Joinville (where there is supposed to be an entrance), said that several times he saw a luminous flying saucer ascend from the tunnel opening that leads to a subterranean city inside the mountain, in which he heard the beautiful choral singing of men and women, and also heard the ’canto galo’ (rooster crowing), a universal symbol indicating the existence of subterranean cities in Brazil. He said that the saucer was so luminous that it lit up the night sky and converted it into daylight. On one occasion he met a group of subterranean men outside the tunnel. They were short, stocky, with reddish beards and long hair, and very muscular. When he tried to approach them, they vanished. Often he saw strange illuminations in this area at night which were probably produced by flying saucers (We use the name ’Mystery Mountain,’ rather than reveal the true name of the mountain, so that unwanted outsiders will not come here to locate it). Throughout my many years of research I have accumulated a vast amount of data which would indicate that these entrances to subterranean cities abound throughout the region.

"’An elderly man living in Joinville once told me that he had visited a tunnel near Concepiao in the state of Sao Paulo, and saw in the distance a marvelous subterranean city with vehicles darting back and forth, evidently traveling through tunnels from one subterranean city to another.

"’Although the following report requires confirmation, it was told to me by an explorer named N.C. who said that he had visited a tunnel near Rio Casdor and had met a beautiful young woman appearing to be about 20 years of age. She spoke to him in Portuguese and SAID that she was 2,500 years old. He also met a bearded subterranean man.

(Note: Often humans encountered in aerial disks or subterranean caverns declare that they possess remarkable longevity when compared with the longevity of surface humans. On the outset this might sound next to impossible, unless a revolutionary scientific breakthrough on the part of these human ’aliens’ has allowed them to retard the aging process to an extreme degree. Or, could the possibly that they are separated from the degenerating radioactive contamination and solar rays prevalent on the surface explain their greater alleged longevity? Another possibility would be that through bionics or biological transplants and prosthetics, etc., the lifespan of human beings [possessing advanced biological and technological sciences] might theoretically be dramatically increased. Incidentally, the writer and traveler Robert Stacy-Judd described in some of his books an exploration he and others had made of the peripheral areas of the Loltun cave system of Yucatan.

Legend says that at least one group of people, fleeing persecution, entered en masse into the massive Loltun caves and were never seen again. Stacy-Judd tells of his own encounter with a ’cave hermit’ deep in the cavern chambers who claimed to be well over 1000 years old. This unusual man said that he was a guardian of the cave and of the ancient treasures -- and city? -- which lay deep below in the unknown depths, ’unknown’ that is, except to the strange ’hermit’. This unusual man had emerged from the inner DEPTHS of the cave when they first encountered him. Aside from photographs of this ’hermit’ which appeared in some of his works, the author also revealed photographs of ’underground gardens’ consisting of areas of the cave which contain small patches of ’jungle’, small cave oasis’ watered and lit through parts of the cavern ceilings which had collapsed in ages past, exposing them to the elements of the outer world above. Whether such claims of longevity are real or whether the "subterranean" people were just playing with the minds of such explorers who encountered them, is uncertain - Branton).

"’Still another explorer named D.O. visited this SAME tunnel near Gaspar, Santa Catarina, and behind a wonderful fruit orchard saw a subterranean woman with a child in her arms reading to it aloud from a huge book written in an unknown language... After she read each sentence the child repeated the same and in this way was taught how to read. All of these subterranean cities are illuminated by strange light...’"

Raymond Bernard (whose actual name was ’Walter Seigmeister’), writing in the Oct. 1959 issue of SEARCH Magazine, p. 48, described yet another alleged encounter with a subterranean race. What are we to make of all these stories? Are we to assume that some of the individuals who told Bernard such accounts actually made them up, as some suggest, in order to receive the financial bonus or reward that Bernard was sometimes known to offer on documentable accounts of ancient tunnels? Or, are we to accept these accounts for just what their sources claimed them to be, reports of actual encounters with a subterranean world? Bernard stated the following:

"...Last week my investigators returned and said they visited their city (i.e. the ’city’ of a race of dwarf-humans whom Bernard referred to as the ’Niebelungs’, who live in a subterranean region with it’s own system of illumination - Branton) and are able to bring any of my American friends to visit it, but I require one condition: absolute secrecy, as I don’t want governments to send armies into the tunnel to disturb these peaceful people.

"To reach them requires a 3-day journey of about 40 miles through a tunnel. This entire distance is through a tunnel carefully lined with cut stone blocks below, above and on the sides. That was quite an engineering feat. I think the tunnel was made long to keep out curiosity seekers, and only the most determined will travel that distance.

"Here is the report of my investigations: (They are two ranchers, father and son, who discovered the tunnel accidentally):

"’We left our house 5 A.M. for the tunnel on top of a mountain and reached it 3 P.M. We were tired and camped near the entrance of the tunnel. For three days we proceeded through the tunnel. We told time by our watches, as we could not tell when it was day or night. We went to sleep at 10 P.M. and awoke at 3 A.M. and continued walking. By the third day the tunnel started to go downward by steps (Note: If the entrance was on ’top’ of a mountain, we must assume that it sloped downward until it became too steep to continue without a stairway - Branton). It was built of stone blocks on all sides. By the night of the third day the tunnel suddenly opened into a great space covered with what appeared as a sky with a yellow light that made everything luminous, like daylight. We saw a city with many houses and saw many people in the distance. They were dwarfs with long white beards and long hair and we saw women and children, and heard them crying. The third member of our party got frightened so we had to return.’

"These men found three such tunnels. They entered another for three days, but after hearing voices further in, got scared and returned. Now they are entering the third..."

Previously, we have referred to the alleged inhabitants of a subterranean colony below Mt. Shasta in northern California, which is believed to be one of the largest, if not THE largest, subterranean community in North America, and which allegedly has ties with the Asian empire of ’Agharti’ and several South American subterranean colonies, and possibly also the ’Havmu-suvs’ of the Mojave and Death Valley region. The following are some excepts from an article written by William F. Hamilton (whose other publications can at this writing be obtained via 7327 Bothwell Rd., Reseda, CA 91335), who we have referred to in earlier writings. Bill Hamilton has been in Data Processing for 22 years and is now a Sr. Programmer-Analyst. He is a writer, investigator and researcher. He has been involved in UFO research and investigations since 1953.

Bill is a past member of The Foundation for Research in Parapsychology, The Spacecraft Research Foundation, The World Federation of Science and Engineering, and MENSA, the high IQ society. He has been a member of Daniel Fry’s Understanding, Inc., and served on it’s Board. He founded NEXUS and NEXUS NEWS, an info center for alternative energy and alternative life-styles. He also founded UFORUM, a monthly forum on the UFO phenomena. He is a UFO investigator with MUFON, an Associate Director of UFOCCI, and founder of UFORCES. Bill is the author of the following books: SPACE, TIME AND GRAVITY; CENTER OF THE VORTEX; TELOS, THE COSMIC COMPUTER; GEOMETRY OF THE GRID; CLOSE ENCOUNTER REPORT; ALIEN MAGIC; and COSMIC TOP SECRET. He has written numerous articles for publications such as ’Search,’ ’Energy Unlimited,’ ’New Age Science,’ ’The New Atlantean Journal,’ ’California UFO,’ and ’UFO Universe’. The following article originally appeared in the ’New Atlantean Journal’:

"...I run across some fascinating people in the course of my investigations who tell me many unusual stories. While on the trail of reports of UFO base locations, I met a young, very pretty blonde girl with almond-shaped eyes and small perfect teeth, whose name is Bonnie. Bonnie has told me an incredible story and has related a volume of interesting information... Bonnie is sincere, cheerful, and rational and says she (was born) in 1951 in a city called TELOS that was built inside an artificial dome-shaped cavern in the Earth a mile or so beneath Mt. Shasta, California.

"Bonnie, her mother (Rana Mu), her father Ra(Mu), her sister Judy, her cousins Lorae and Matox, live and move in our society, returning frequently to TELOS for rest and recuperation. Bonnie relates that her people use boring machines to bore tunnels in the Earth. These boring machines heat the rock to incandescence, then vitrify it, thus eliminating the need for beams and supports. A tube transit tunnel is used to connect the (underground) cities that exist in various subterranean regions in our hemisphere. The tube trains are propelled by electromagnetic impulses up to speeds of 2500 mph. One tube connects with one of their cities in the Matto Grosso jungle of Brazil. (They) have developed space travel and some flying saucers come from their subterranean bases...

"They grow food hydroponically under full-spectrum lights with their gardens attended by automatons. The food and resources of Telos are distributed in plenty to the million-and-a-half population that thrives on a no-money economy. Bonnie talks about history, of the Uighers, Naga-Mayas, and Quetzals, of which she is a descendant

(Note: Many people have mistakenly identified the inhabitants of ’Telos’ as being directly descended from the ’Lemurians’, however Bonnie here seems to refute this by indicating that her ancestrage was other than this, possibly Meso-American and/or East-Indian? As in the case of the ancient ’antediluvian’ cities of the eastern seaboard which were re-established after being abandoned by the lost ’Atlanteans’; the ’Lemurians’, if they existed thousands of years ago, also seem to have been devastated in a world-wide cataclysm -- and their cities re-established by the Uighers, Naga-Mayas, and Quetzals as well as scattered members of other societies. The antediluvian Atlanteans apparently built underground systems below the eastern seaboard of North and South America, whereas the MU-rians apparently had control of the underground systems beneath the western seaboard. Although some island-continents may have sunk following the deluge, most accounts describe the ’Atlanteans’, etc., as being antediluvians. Being that the name ’Telos’ is a Grecian word meaning ’uttermost, purpose’, there is a suggestion of a ’possible’ connection with the Grecian-like Hav-musuvs of the Panamint mountains of California - Branton).

"I met Bonnie’s cousin, Matox, who, like her, is a strict vegetarian and holds the same attitudes concerning the motives of government. They constantly guard against discovery or intrusion. Their advanced awareness and technology helps them remain vigilant...

"Science Fiction? Bonnie is a real person. Many have met her. Is she perpetrating a hoax? For what motive? She does not seek publicity and I have a devil of a time getting her to meetings to talk with others, but she has done so. There has been little variation in her story and her answers in the past three years. She has given me excellent technical insight on the construction of a crystal- powered generator that extracts ambient energy... Bonnie’s father, the Ra-Mu, is 300 years old and a member of the ruling council of Telos.

"Many tunnels are unsafe and closed off. All tube transit tunnels are protected and are designed to eject uninvited guests. Does Bonnie have the answers that we are looking for? I don’t know... Bonnie says she would like to satisfy our need for proof and will work with me on a satisfactory answer to that problem, but she is unconcerned with whether people accept her or not. Bonnie is humorous and easy-going and well-poised, yet sometimes she becomes brooding and mysterious. She says her people are busy planning survival centers for refugees. One of these is to be near Prescott, Arizona..."

(Or, more exactly, below the Groom Creek area just south of Prescott, to be exact. Another ’survival center’ for refugees of the world-wide cataclysms which the Telosians are convinced will devastate the surface of the earth in future years, is said to be below the general area of Jenny Lake, Wyoming, near the Tetons. The Tetons themselves have been the alleged home of a mysterious race, according to different sources, and extremely ancient stone ’buildings’ or constructions have reportedly been seen high atop the treacherous spurs of the Teton mountain range - Branton).

When Bill Hamilton asked ’Bonnie’ to elaborate about the power-sources which her people utilize to propel the so-called "flying saucer" craft, she replied:

"...A lot of it is crystals (i.e. crystal-induced electromagnetism? - Branton), particularly the atmospheric vehicles. The planet-to-planet vehicles are driven by an Ion-Mercury engine. Spaceships can reach speeds way beyond light. They can enter hyperspace -- you generate into the fourth dimension -- this is controlled by an on-board computer that takes you into and out of hyperspace. I know this is a simplification. When your on a ship going into hyperspace, you will hear this vibration, and a loud screaming sound when you enter, then you will hear nothing..."

Bill concludes:

"I have had many correlation’s on this data and am researching it further toward a comprehensive theory of space travel..."

Researcher Val Valerian refers to an incident which took place in 1988. This incident indicated that at that time Project Bluebook was still as active as ever. Valerian refers to a Sgt. Robert Williams (pseudonym for his protection) who was stationed in Honolulu from 1971-1973. ’Williams’ was a photographer who worked for the Aerospace Audio Visual Service (AAVS) which is headquartered at Norton AFB, CA.

In 1971 Williams was approached by PROJECT BLUEBOOK to work as a photographer, which he did until 1973. On July 10, 1973 Williams was given TDY orders and a Top Secret clearance, and was sent to Norton AFB and was briefed into a secret project involving the photographing of alien beings and craft. He was to work with a Ron Smith (also pseudonym). They were blindfolded and put into a limousine with blacked-out windows and were driven to their destination. Both felt the car descend and found themselves in an underground base. Williams noted the time on his watch, and that 45 minutes had passed since the beginning of their journey.

Both were briefed and led to a laboratory, where they found two ’aliens’ in the process of being autopsied. Another alien was still alive, held elsewhere. The creatures were wearing blue uniforms, and they noticed six scientists and two MARINE guards. It was later determined that they had been taken to the 29 Palms Marine Base in S. California.

They commenced to photograph the aliens. The bodies were black with green fluid/blood. During the time when Williams was photographing the live alien it terminated and at its death he felt ’something passing through him’. The scientists there, he noticed, had bland expressions on their faces ’like they weren’t all there.’ He was allowed to enter the disk which appeared outwardly to be a 35’ diameter disk, although inside it was almost as large as a football field, indicating some type of space-warping technology. After this, they were driven back to Norton AFB and then returned to Honolulu. The men noticed that no one would speak to them, even their wives. ’Smith’ later disappeared and was never heard from again by Williams, who (as of the early 1990’s) now works in Nevada.

Valerian stated that records show a disk did crash in NW Arizona and was recovered on July 10, 1973, the same day that Williams’ and Smiths’ Top Secret orders came through.

Aside from this, ’Williams’ stated that since the age of 3 he had experienced ’abductions’ by human-like beings, during which he was often taken to a place with large white building that were LARGER WITHIN THAN THEY WERE ON THE OUTSIDE, each containing 600 family units. During these episodes he was befriended by a human girl close to his age named Karin, and this friendship lasted to later years. Through hypnotic regression, Williams recalled that during the drive to 29 Palms they (car and all?) were transported onto a starship, where he met the ships captain -- none other than Karin herself. They were later dropped off just outside of 29 Palms and the memory of the episode was removed.

Actually, several contactees say that it is not so much a removal of "memory" as it is a transition into an altered state of consciousness and an alternate personality which has been conditioned to relate to the aliens, whether humans or grays. Since an alternate personality [psychosis] is involved and not the ’conscious’ mind, the conscious mind itself has no memory of the events. Williams also stated that Karin’s people have developed time travel

(Note: There are various accounts suggesting that it is possible to travel through time without violating the laws of paradox. In short, one cannot change the past, simply because the past has already been changed -- or rather SET through the intervention of past, present and future influences. It is suggested that the earth is in a universal causality loop and that there was a point where "time" began on earth or in the universe and there is a point when time will end, is ending or has ended -- depending on ones perspective. This is not to say that everything is SET, because it is not. We have the power to ESTABLISH our collective reality by choices we make in the NOW, whether that NOW exists in the past, the present or the future. In a way that is difficult for finite minds to understand, events of the past help to set the present and future, events of the present help to set the past and future, and events of the future help to set the past and the present. So in reality, one cannot ’change’ the past, present or future, but they can take part in establishing it. According to individuals involved with the Philadelphia and Montauk projects, a human soul is attached to the universal causality sphere or the "time" sequence at the point of conception -- not birth. They are attached to the time sequence by what Nikola Tesla called a "zero-time reference" that is integrated into the human soul itself. Upon the point of physical death, the soul leaves the timeline and enters what we faintly perceive as "eternity". Branton).

In relation to Williams’ experiences, and his descriptions of advanced civilizations, UFO’s and 29 Palms, Valerian states:

"...Investigations of the 29 Palms underground base during April 1989 tracked down some data about the geology of the spot. During the time when the area was under the sea, an earthquake caused a large hole in the ground, causing a lot of water to create a funnel-like structure in the ground. Evidently, disks go in and out of there all the time, and the Army has tried to send cameras down there, only to have the cables cut. One group that attempted to go down on ropes were exposed to a blue gas and had to be pulled out again..."

We quote now from parts of an interview between John Lear and the National Fringe Sciences (Computer) Bulletin Board:

"Question: You just mentioned that there were... other ’species’ in contact with this world... are they aware of the EBE’s?

"Lear: Yes they are. The types I will mention are listed in a USAF Academy Physics book called ’INTRODUCTORY SPACE SCIENCE VOLUME 2,B.’ I refer to chapter 13... which lists the ones that are most seen. They are the EBE’s, the ’Blondes’... They look just like us but are invariably blond haired and blue eyed. Don’t know where they come from but they do not interact with us except for a few abductions now and then. We also have a species that is similar to us in appearance but they are about seven feet tall and the main difference is that their eyes wrap around their head a little more than ours. Another type listed is a small species about four feet tall, very hairy and extremely strong for their size. We don’t know where these guys come from either. All this was in the aforementioned text which was WITHDRAWN by the Air Force in the early ’70’s from the book. But there are several people who have the original book...

"Question: I’m curious also as to the government’s plans, if any, to deal with an uprising of EBE’s should that eventually occur... or would the technological gap make an attempt untenable?

"Lear: It is my understanding that we have already lost the battle. This is the reason why MJ-12 is in such a panic. They had a lot of well laid plans to INFORM us, and when the deception was confirmed about 1984 it was all out the window...

"Question: Recently in the INF treaty negotiations, Gorbachev indicated that despite prior claims, they too were working on an SDI program... Is there any connection between our program and theirs and if the battle is lost, why are those attempts being made?

"Lear: I wish I knew the answer to that. Several rumors have come out of the test site recently and one of them was that every test shot this year (1989? - Branton) has been to make a giant (underground - Branton) room. The shots are very clean and as soon as everything subsides they move in equipment to make walls, ceiling, floors and various levels."

If in fact the SDI program(s) are being used to defend the earth from foreign or alien forces, then someone ’somewhere’ might not appreciate such projects. Whether it is the serpent cults or the serpent race, someone or ’something’ seems to have been behind the mysterious deaths of several SDI scientists.

British UFOlogist Timothy Good, in his book ’UFO REPORT’ (Avon Books., N.Y., 1989), describes the unfortunate fate of several experts who assisted in the development of the STAR WARS defense system. Apparently, they were either eliminated by those they worked for so that they would not reveal what they knew, or someone or something ’else’ that was displeased with the ultimate product of their efforts was responsible for their tragic deaths. Certainly, all of these scientists dying at once cannot be explained in coincidental terms, whatever the case:

"...Reports of suspicious deaths, darkly and deeply linked to UFO’s, persist, however, and continue to cause speculation. Word comes from Gordon Creighton, editor of the informative FLYING SAUCER REVIEW, who notes a possible deathly tie-in with the U.S. ’Star Wars’ program. He wrote to me in Nov. 1988 as follows:

"’...here in Britain 22 scientists have reportedly either taken their own lives or died in very strange or mysterious circumstances. And it seems that most... were engaged in British work on behalf of, or related to the U.S. ’Star Wars’ program. The British government, it seems, was trying to hush it up. But press statements here say that the U.S. government had put our government on the spot and demanded a full inquiry. So, quite clearly, it is either the Russians or THEM...’

"As many researchers have surmised, ’Star Wars’, ostensibly conceived as a defensive system against Russian missile attack, may have had from it’s beginning a ’defensive’ UFO connection. Whatever the case, a ’mock test’ in September, 1988, of an earth-shattering warhead -- much like ’Star Wars’ in reverse -- was conducted at the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada. Announced as a proposed super-weapon designed to destroy Russian underground command centers dug in solid rock down to 1,000 (feet), some UFO analysts believe that the real target is not Russian but another adversary deep down in cavernous installations IN NEVADA AND NEW MEXICO.

"According to the Pentagon, the proposed earth-penetrating warhead is ’urgently needed’. According to rumor-mills, an alien race -- the ’grays’ -- in their fortified underground laboratories, are genetically experimenting with the human race. Even more ominous, rumors say that their intransigence today may lead to new perils tomorrow."

The following confirming article appeared in Washington State’s ’SEATTLE’ newspaper, p. 1, Oct. 8, 1988 issue. The article, which originated from the ’Hearst News Service’, was written by reporter Bernard D. Kaplan, and titled: ’BAFFLING CASE OF 10 DEAD SCIENTISTS - SOMETHING SINISTER?’ Below the article is quoted in its entirety:

"PARIS -- They’re calling it the ’Star Wars Mystery’ -- the enigmatic deaths of 10 British scientists and technicians, all of whom worked on projects linked to President Reagan’s space- based anti-missile program, the Strategic Defense Initiative.

"All of the deaths have occurred within the past 24 months, since Britain began to contribute to ’Star Wars’ research.

"All took place in mysterious or violent circumstances.

"Four of the deaths were recorded as suicides and two as a result of accidents. In four other cases, coroner’s juries handed down an ’open’ verdict, meaning they could not determine how the victims died.

"The latest case came two weeks ago. Andrew Hall, a 33- year-old engineer with the British Aerospace company, was found suffocated in his car, a hosepipe connected to the exhaust. Verdict: suicide.

"Only a month earlier, Alistair Beckham, a senior space engineer with another major defense contractor, PLESSEY, was discovered in his garden shed, bound up in electric wires running to his house. He had been electrocuted.

"Although Beckham’s death was ruled a suicide, his widow was convinced he was murdered.

"’Alistair had no personal or professional problems,’ Mary Beckham said. ’He wasn’t subject to depression. Murder is the sole explanation that is reasonable.’

"Member of Parliament Douglas Hoyle, who issued a call for an official investigation into the strange string of deaths even before the Beckham case, agrees that ’something sinister’ appears to be going on.

"’The number of these deaths is now becoming too odd to be a coincidence any more,’ he insists.

"The government has so far turned down Hoyle’s demand, but last week ordered the police forces who investigated the nine deaths to ’exchange information.’

"Sources said NATO intelligence authorities in Brussels recently asked their British counterparts for a report on the affair.

"’Five of the men who died worked in sensitive posts for the same defense contractor, BRITISH MARCONI,’ a NATO source said. ’Two were senior scientists at the Royal Military College of Science. We’d be remiss in our duty if we didn’t take a very close look into this matter.’

"Chief Superintendent Arthur Ford, the policeman put in charge of coordinating the investigations, insists nothing has been found to link the deaths.

"Hoyle says that’s ’nonsense.’ He pointed out that two others, LIKE Hall, died from fumes in locked cars whose engines were running.

"Police officials continue to theorize that the deaths were attributed to personal stress to which defense industry scientists are often subjected. Marconi personnel manager John Shipley dismisses that notion.

"’We investigated each (of the five Marconi employee deaths),’ he says. ’We didn’t find a single instance of work stress or even suspicion of it,’ he said.

"Besides Hall and Beckham, these people died:

"--Marconi scientist Ashad Sharif was found in his car with a rope tied from his neck to a nearby tree on October 1986. The car had lurched forward, choking Sharif to death. Open verdict.

"--Ministry of Defense computer specialist Richard Pugh was found with a plastic bag over his head in January 1987. Ruled an accident.

"--Royal Military College scientist John Brittan, found suffocated in his car in the same month. ’Accidental death.’

"--Marconi design engineer Victor Moore, found in February 1987 dead of an apparent drug overdose. Verdict: suicide.

"--Royal Military College scientist Peter Peapell found run over by a car the same month. Open verdict.

"--Marconi satellite project manager David Sands drove his car loaded with gasoline cans into a wall in April 1987. Open verdict.

"--Marconi weapons engineer Trevor Knight, found in a car with a hose connected to the exhaust this March. Apparent suicide.

"--Marconi scientist John Ferry, found electrocuted, in July 1988. Open verdict...."

Many UFO encounters, especially with human-like personages, have been relatively friendly and benevolent in nature. Yet there is, nevertheless, a far more malevolent group which has reportedly caused physical harm or even death to unfortunate witnesses who became a target in a cosmic war being waged against mankind by beings which apparently have little or no regard for human life. In his article, ’INCREDIBLE UFO INCINERATION’S: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE COMBUSTIBLE KIND’, researcher Larry E. Arnold describes the following terrifying encounter, only one of several cases of UFO-related ’human combustion’ mentioned in his article:

"...Of the many episodes involving UFOs and the spontaneous combustion of humans, quite probably the most disastrous event -- if true -- in MODERN times occurred to the African village of Kirimukuya on Mt. Kenya.

"For several nights in June 1954, young Laili Thindu and his shepherd companions listened to the pounding of their neighbors’ drums announcing a wedding about to take place on the mountainside. They also watched STRANGE LIGHTS soar around this ’sacred’ peak in central Kenya. They naturally were startled when bright beams flashed from these soaring lights, then concerned that the drums were now silent.

"The next morning Laili learned that ’all the dancers, all the children, all the livestock, -- the entire population of the village -- had been seared to death by terrible streams of light from glowing objects,’ report Brad Steiger and Joan Whritenour in their book , FLYING SAUCERS ARE HOSTILE. ’It was not until Laili Thindu ventured into Nairobi that he was able to tell his story to someone who recognized the tale for what it really was: the annihilation of an African village by a UFO..."

The Kenyans are not the only ones to have suffered from "alien" attacks upon its inhabitants. The U.S. Military is well aware of this threat of unknown invaders of U.S. Airspace, as is evident in the following quote:

"We have stacks of report about flying saucers. WE TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY when you consider WE HAVE LOST MANY MEN AND PLANES TRYING TO INTERCEPT THEM."

-- February, 1953. Statement by U.S. General CHIDLAW in charge of the United States Continental Air Defense.

There are many indications suggesting that certain humans have, in one way or another, been brought under the mental, technical or occult control of the ’reptilians’ over the years -- whether they are fully aware of this manipulation or not. Could the ’being’ referred to in the following account, which appeared on pp. 1136-1137 of Raymond A. Palmer’s ’HIDDEN WORLD’ publication for Summer, 1962, be the type of subterranean-dwelling creature which at least one account has referred to as a ’dragon-worm’? Could this creature (supposing it does in fact exist and is not the result of one man’s deluded and misguided fantasy experience) be one of the MANY and VARIED branches or mutations of the ’serpent’ races, which many accounts tend to confirm as existing within subterranean areas? It would seem that accounts such as this one might raise more questions than answers. Remember that this letter appeared years before the advent of the famous ’Star Wars’ trilogy which depicted a creature very similar to that described in the following letter. Again, one may wonder if George Lucas himself might not have been inspired subconsciously by certain evident realities, and portrayed some of these -- although in a rather sensationalized manner -- in his movies. The following account was submitted by a reader who chose to remain anonymous. He states:

"Dear Ray: ...This happened about 12 or 13 years ago. I was in my late teens, I think, but perhaps the time is not as important as the incident.

"In the late night hours I awoke, got out of bed, walked out of the house and was met by a group of men (?) who drove me out into the country to an old farmhouse. I don’t know the location any more than the people involved; maybe I was drugged, I don’t know. At the farmhouse we went immediately to the potato cellar and through a trapdoor in the floor down a long inclining tunnel. We arrived into a room, fantastically decorated, bizarre, like Hades -- how can I describe it? It was of good size; and others were present. Some one asked: ’Is he ready?’ and the answer: ’Yes, he is.’ Two ’others’ -- one on each side of me escorted me into a room? Tunnel? (again beyond my description) the worm, or whoever or whatever he or it was, was huge, long, round, knobby. An immense head and mouth (which swayed back and forth) spoke to me. I don’t remember what it said or my answer, but one of them put a syringe into it, and then into me! I swear the language spoken by them AND MYSELF was not English, but somehow I seemed to know, yet but not know. After some kind of warning and benediction from this being I was escorted out. Once again the car, the return trip, and home in bed. Since that time I have once in awhile visited the caves quite unhindered... in dreams and the like

(Note: since ’suppressed’ memories of experiences with UFO’s, etc. often surface in ’dreams’ or impressions, could these be actual memories of other visits to the nether regions which were suppressed from his memory? There is also the small chance that ray-induced visions or even ’astral’ interaction might be involved as well, that is, the "abduction" of the spirit body from the soul and physical bodies. The physical-soul body presumably remains attached to the disembodied spirit-essence via a silvery cord or beam of energy which maintains a kind of hyperspace link between them - Branton).

"I can only comment that the knowledge of, and use of the mechs, the architecture, the philosophies in the pictures (or whatever they are), would enable man to live like gods in comparison to how they now live. However the areas of horror beyond comprehension would have to be removed before this can be done

(Note: The writer may be referring to the so-called super-human abilities brought about through the use or manipulation of powerful electromagnetic occult technologies. We must remind the reader that ’power’ has NOTHING to do with benevolence or "right"-eousness, or as the old saying goes: ’Might does not make right!’ Such abilities to manipulate the forces of nature via occult technologies -- such as those which were developed and utilized by the antediluvians, which by the way may have played a role in their destruction, and which is now being used by many of the inhabitants of the nether ’cavern’ regions -- could be extremely destructive if placed in the wrong hands - Branton).

"An interesting sequel to this (dream or reality?) is that I have prayed, hard, that this wouldn’t affect my life. I believe in some ways it hasn’t, but my wife feels that something, as I also have felt, is not allowing me to live as I want to. Of course I want to know, was it dream or reality? (Name deleted by request)."

The following letter appeared in the July, 1964 issue of ’SEARCH’ Magazine, and was written by a Mr. Ervin M. Scott of (at that time) 536 12th St., Denver, Colorado. Mr. Scott’s references to the origin of "dreams" is interesting. There are theories that the brain acts like a biological electrochemical "radio" transceiver at some levels. It is a proven fact that the brain sends very subtle neuro-electrical transmissions into the atmosphere, and that these "brain waves" can be recorded by electro-encephalograph machines. An even more daring theory is that neurons can interact and affect other particles-waves in the Unified Field and that the brain has the ability to "focus" these waves as a transmitter or a receiver. Of course the success of long-range communication between minds is minimal when compared with radio waves, because of the thick morass of ’psychic static’ that must be penetrated and the minimal energy output.

Others claim that certain "alien" cultures have machines that are capable of electronically magnifying and focusing thought waves for transmitting or receiving. As for "dreams", some believe that they take place when the mind tunes-in to a "deeper" mental states wherein the mind is able to tap into the thought-forms of a "collective unconscious", explaining the "universal dream symbolism" which has been reported by psychologists. One symbolic explanation that has been used to explain this process is that of islands that appear to be separate and distinct when seen above water -- symbolic of individual conscious minds, yet the "deeper" one goes below the "surface" the more they connect with other islands at the underlying levels -- symbolic of the increasing levels of the collective unconscious mind(s). Mr. Scott describes his unusual experiences as follows:

"Dear Ray: ...Congratulations on another excellent issue of ’SEARCH’ Magazine.

"I was especially interested in your article, ’Faces in Your Dreams.’

"Having had many strange, puzzling dreams over the last few years, I have become quite interested in any clues that might point towards origin and cause of dreams. I recognize a good many as probably having the subconscious as the source. However, there is an occasional dream, that is so vivid and unusual that it causes one to wonder.

"I have no connection one way or the other, on the Shaver Mystery, but, I will briefly describe... dreams that are interesting in relation to that subject.

"On Nov. 30, 1963 while in a light sleep I heard a woman’s voice coming as if from a distance and she spoke urgently as follows: ’This is from a stolen farm beneath the Salt Lake flats in Utah. (I was living in Wichita, Kansas at the time.) There was a woman abducted almost three weeks ago in Boston, Mass. and taken underground. Reports indicate that an abbey in North section of the city is being used and that cellars underneath the abbey connect with tunnels leading up from caverns below. This is a continuation of the Evil one’s War against Mankind.’

"Another voice broke in, ’Don’t believe her. Don’t you see this is a lie - a trick? (Then, warningly) Keep quiet about this.’

"I have never been in Utah nor have had no thoughts about or desire to visit, so if this was caused by subconscious, it is certainly puzzling, as is the reference to ’a stolen farm’..."

This letter suggests that a conflict of sorts has been and is taking place in cavernous levels below Utah, as in other states.

Earlier in this file we revealed an incident which was originally described by ’Commander X’, from a source in Dulce, N.M., stating that a certain chemical was secretly (via certain ’doctors’ tied in with the aliens) being injected into individuals via sulfa drugs which in turn lodged in the bone-structure of the victim. This chemical allegedly makes their bodies extremely sensitive to ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) radio waves, which can be ’tuned in’ to the deep encephalographic wave bands of the human brain, and these transmissions could apparently be used to subliminally control or at least influence human minds from a distance.

Perhaps some individuals, such as the writer of the letter just quoted, are naturally sensitive to these extremely low frequency waves, in that their brains to some extent act as an electro-chemical biological ELF radio receiver. Certain accounts suggest that various subterranean groups utilize ELF radio transceivers capable of penetrating many miles of solid rock.

The letter just quoted might "suggest" that another group, more malevolent, utilize a similar form (of ELF radio wave transceivers?) such as the one through which the woman apparently sent out the ’distress’ or warning call.

Could this ’other’ voice be tied-in with a subterranean group similar to the ’Horlocks’ mentioned earlier in this File? Or could it have originated from the Reptilians? The ’Horlocks’ are, as we’ve suggested earlier, a group of human ’mind-slaves’ who are possibly manipulated and kept under reptilian mind-control via implantation, technosis, and so on.

Various sources have described many strange subsurface phenomena associated with the Salt Lake or Great Basin subnet. Some of these include:

1) A reference to a system of tunnels and catacombs allegedly existing below the Salt Lake Valley, which were said to exist long before the first settlers moved in. Unusual stories have made the rounds to the effect that early construction workers in downtown SLC broke through into these underground tunnels. Some of these passages were later expanded by early polygamists who entered them to take refuge from government prosecutors. Others who entered certain of these tunnels never returned. Additional "rumors" say that "Lizard People" have been encountered in some of the deeper tunnels, as well as unusual footprints of creatures with three toes. There are also reports of seemingly "bottomless shafts". Also huge passages "large enough to drive a truck through" are said to lead southwest from downtown Salt Lake City to other chambers below the western Rockies, especially below the Cottonwood Canyons.

It is interesting that the Mayan-Telosians claim to have a large base under Big Cottonwood Canyon, The Mormon Church has a huge underground storage shelter below Little Cottonwood Canyon, and the tunnels in downtown SLC are also said to connect with the basement of the Masonic Temple there. ALL THREE groups possess an initiatory order of "Melchizedek" within their structures... interesting! Also, there have been reports of encounters with NORDICS as well as abductions by REPTILIANS near these canyons. One witness swore that at night she was taken out of her house in Salt Lake City by a blond man in a black "astronaut" uniform, who showed her a "Star Wars" scenario taking place above the Cottonwood Canyons. She saw [cloaked?] disks emerging from Twin Peaks only to fire beams of energy at incoming UFOs. The beams hit what appeared to be the force shields of the incoming craft and in "Star Trek" like fashion the energy crackled around the UFOs, many of which seemed to lose motive power and drift away. Could this area be one of the "Stand-off" zones between the Benevolent Ones and the Reptilian Grays that John Lear, Agent YF and other sources have referred to?

Aside from these mountain bases, other underground systems are said to run southwest under Trolley Square [where workers also reportedly "broke in" to underground catacombs in years past] and also the old Sugerhouse Mall district. At least two individuals have reported "abductions" from this area. One man stated that he was taken underground just north of Sugerhouse, and was "operated on", his right leg removed and reattached. Although the experience seemed "dreamlike", when he found himself at home once again he stood up and his right leg gave out under him. Another person, a woman, reported being abducted and taken into huge underground chambers by way of a maze, just west of Sugarhouse Mall. She was placed in an altered state -- it also seemed to be "dreamlike", but she did experience "missing time". She reportedly encountered a tall, dark haired man who was in the company of a "Gray" alien, and he gave her and several other people in the chambers different instructions -- which she cannot consciously remember.

One other incident was reported by a woman who was part of a night cleaning crew in the multi-leveled Crossroads Mall. She claimed that one night a creature came around a corner, wobbled up to her, and snarled viciously as it went past. She could only describe it as a "demon", however the apparent physical tangibility of the creature may suggest that it was one of the so-called "lizard people" or reptilians that are rumored to stalk the lower tunnels below the Mall. One worker who had gone into the tunnels reportedly placed his hand against one tunnel wall at which point his arm went THROUGH the wall -- an extremely unnerving experience. The next time he was there he attempted the same thing, but the wall was "solid". Could the "aliens" temporarily "phase shift" the molecules within an underground passage in order to pass through to hidden chambers beyond? Others have reported passing rooms from which an unusual greenish luminescence emanated. Others speak of tunnels that have been sealed or locked by wooden doors that seemed to be ancient, or by metal doors or gates. There are also reports of people entering the sewer or drainage tunnels under downtown SLC, peeking into huge chambers, and seeing "men in suits" carrying uzi machine guns. Could these be Mormon Church security officers protecting the basement levels of "Temple Square" from unwanted alien intruders from BELOW?

2) Certain geologists state that the Great Salt Lake has an underground counterpart deep below it, and that a certain type of earthquake could ’conceivably’ empty the entire contents of the lake into it’s subterranean counterpart. There are vague rumors of underground streams or rivers which allegedly flow from HUGE caverns in the heart of the Wasatch Mts./Western Rockies (caverns which can supposedly be entered by following the right path through the underground maze), and westward below the valley floor, possibly to the underground ’counterpart’ of the Great Salt Lake.

3) A former worker in Utah’s ’Dougway Proving Ground’ (where former Dulce Base worker Thomas Castello alleges there is an ’entrance’ to the underground systems) reported that he witnessed ’people’ working at the base-facility who were NOT human. He could not explain, but he did state that he learned of top secret robotics and even ’Philadelphia-Experiment’ like teleportation research that was being conducted at the base. Also, there have been reports (similar to those at Dulce, NM; the Nevada Test Site; the Madigan Medical facility in Washington State, and at Deep Springs, CA), particularly from a former hairdresser at the Dougway base whose name was Barbara, that there were several reptilian beings working at the base who were masquerading as humans. She stated that even one of the base commanders was NOT human -- she saw him momentarily transform before her eyes!

4) There are many accounts of various alien ’bases’ throughout Utah occupied by the Nordics, the Grays, secret societies, the large ’EL’ humans, possibly the ’Orange’, and of course the ’hubrids’ -- and possibly even natural-born humans who are being held prisoner in ’reptilian’ strongholds.

This latter possibility was confirmed by Val Valerian in ’THE LEADING EDGE’ Newsletter, in which he stated his belief that, based on the numerous accounts that he had gathered:

"...Scores of underground installations hold citizens of virtually every country on the planet in captivity."

Valerian is of course referring to the Dulce facility, as well as other such facilities throughout the world where permanent abductees’ reportedly end up. This may also include other people who have disappeared in other ways.

One possible subterranean ’abduction’ was described by researcher John Grant. In his book ’GREAT MYSTERIES’ (Chartwell Books., Secaucus, NJ., 1988), Grant records the following frightening incident:

"...In 1975 Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Wright were driving to New York through blinding snow; in the Lincoln Tunnel they agreed to pause and wipe snow from the front and rear windows. Jackson Wright never saw his wife, Martha, again."

People just don’t ’disappear’ without a trace, never to be heard from again, especially in a place like this unless SOMETHING intentionally causes such a disappearance to take place. There have, incidentally, been reports of ’UFO’ like objects and/or alien creatures being seen in connection with ’abductions’ which took place in underground tunnels, some ’deserted’ by our standards and others not. One case involved some teenaged boys in Europe who swore that their abductors (grays) took them to a base underground via a long-abandoned World War II railway tunnel.

It is uncertain just how many human casualties the human race may have suffered as a result of the Da’ath or Dah’ath wars over the centuries (Da’ath is the Hebrew name of the ’tree’ where, tradition holds, the human and serpent races first came into conflict), yet based on the various accounts which we have covered in this Fil, we can assume that the victims have been in the tens of thousands AT THE VERY LEAST.

In the meantime, the abductions of humans, an integral part of the ’evil ones’ warfare against God and men’s souls, are still taking place. Whether the victims are taken to underground or off-planet areas is difficult to tell in any given case, although there is reason to believe that both possibilities are a reality.

There have, believe it or not, been abductions which have occurred in connection with ’UFO’ activity that have involved not a few, not dozens, nor hundreds but THOUSANDS of people who have disappeared without a trace, or been abducted, en masse. Such is the case with the following well-known and documented incident that has baffled the many researchers who have mentioned it in their writings:

"In the Winter of 1930 a profoundly disturbing incident took place in Canada. Trapper Arnaud Lauret and his son observed a strange light crossing the northern sky. It appeared to be headed for the Lake Anjikuni area. The two trappers described it as being alternatingly bullet-shaped and cylinder-shaped...

"Another trapper named Joe LaBelle had snowshoed into the village of the Lake Anjikuni people, and been chilled to discover that the normally bustling community was silent, and not a soul was moving in the streets. Even the sled dogs, which would normally have bayed welcome, were silent. The shanties were choked with snow, and not a chimney showed smoke.

"The trapper found the village kayaks tied up on the shore of the lake. Inside the shanties the trapper found a further surprise: there were meals left hanging over fires, long grown old and moldy, apparently abandoned as they were being cooked. The men’s rifles were still standing by the doors. This really frightened the trapper, because he knew that these people would NEVER leave their precious weapons behind.

"He reported his discovery to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who investigated further. They discovered that the town’s dogs died of hunger, chained beneath a tree and covered by a snowdrift. More disturbingly, the town graveyard had been emptied. The graves were now yawning pits. Despite the frozen ground, the graves had been opened and the dead removed..."

Whitley Strieber, who claimed to have had several abduction-type experiences since a young age involving different types of beings -- both apparently physical and paraphysial -- does not hold to the idea that these creatures are originally from deep space. He believes that some of them MAY come from the nether regions of the earth, and may have been here for millennia, being part of an ancient conspiracy to occultically control or manipulate the human race. He is not certain exactly what the creatures behind his abductions were, but he did suggest that the ancient (fallen?) ’elementals’ might be involved. Strieber had some comments of his own concerning the strange mass abduction near the Lake Anjikuni area. In his book ’MAJESTIC’, he stated:

"The RCMP continues the case opened to this day. A check with the records department indicated that the matter remains unsolved, and despite a search of the whole of Canada and inquiries throughout the world, not a single trace of the MISSING TWELVE HUNDRED MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN were ever found." Strieber related still another incident in this same book, of a mysterious abduction (apparently) to underground regions:

"...The first seemingly related case of disappearance in the U.S. history (that is, ’related’ to cases given by Strieber earlier in his book, concerning people who were allegedly pursued by unknown objects and experienced NEAR abductions yet managed to escape -- and others who were captured in the full sight of witnesses and never seen again - Branton)... took place on 23 September 1880 near the town of Gallatin, Tennessee. At approximately three-thirty on that sunny afternoon, Mr. David Lang, a farmer, dematerialized in front of five witnesses, including his wife, his two children, his father-in-law and a local judge.

"The father-in-law and the judge had just pulled up in a carriage. Mr. Lang moved toward them across a field followed by his family. Without warning, he simply ceased to exist. There was no cry, no sign of distress. Mrs. Lang, distraught, rushed up and pounded the ground where he had been walking. All that afternoon, and into the night the field was searched. Subsequently the county surveyor determined that there were no hidden caves or sinkholes in the area of the disappearance.

"The subsequent April, seven months later," Streiber writes, "the children heard their father crying distantly UNDERNEATH the field. He seemed desperate and tortured, and was begging for help. His voice gradually died away and was not heard again. Where he was last seen, there was a circle of WITHERED yellow grass twenty feet in diameter.

"The family moved away from the farm.

"It can be surmised that Mr. Lang was not removed above ground, but rather was taken INTO THE EARTH and kept alive there for some months," Strieber continues, "judging from the cries that were heard the next April. What the poor man suffered during that time, and what finally put him out of his misery, can scarcely be imagined...

"He was apparently left to languish in some subterranean prison, presumably dying when his food and water ran out."

Evidence is beginning to mount that many of the human and animal organs from mutilation victims are being used by an entirely different ’alien’ group than the reptilians-saurians, although the sauroids are apparently working in full cooperation with this "other" group by assisting in the construction of physical-biological ’forms’ which can be ’possessed’ and animated by an insidious group of SUPERNATURAL non-physical entities, the ’infernals’ or ’polter- giests’. Whitley Streiber stated that he encountered some of these entities during an abduction, and noticed an area on their craft where these malevolent, fearful creatures stored these ’bodies’ when they were not in use. These energy beings, he came to realize, used such physical shells to operate in the physical dimension, much like a human being enters a diving suit in order to operate under water.

The LEADING EDGE Magazine for March, 1990, quoted one ’inside’ source as saying that:

"These beings... have a PHYSICAL presence generate biological structures that function as CONTAINERS for them... the aliens manufacture containers for themselves... fabricate their own bodies -- using biologicals gained from humans and cattle..."

A publication titled ’AMERICA’S MISSING & EXPLOITED CHILDREN’ (published by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Washington D.C.) made the following statement:

"Even the most conservative estimates suggest that SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND children are missing within the course of the year." (in the United States alone). Also: "...In 1983, the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services put the number at 1.5 million a year -- a figure that has been widely circulated by private organizations. But experts say roughly 95 percent of these are runaways -- many of whom return home within days and are counted repeatedly if they run away more than once a year."

This would apparently put the number of those who are ’abducted’ in one way or another to AT LEAST 75,000 per year... STILL A CONSIDERABLY LARGE NUMBER.

’Commander X’, from his apparent though guarded vantage- point within the Intelligence Community, claims to be privy to much ’deep-level’ inside information, as we have seen in earlier writings. One of the reports that crossed his desk involved the experience of a woman who was ’abducted’ and taken over 1000 miles to the underground facility below Dulce, New Mexico:

"...One woman I have spoken with was abducted from the roof of a New York City apartment building and apparently held underground at the Dulce facility. She was taken to a cabin in the desert which was being used as a camouflaged entrance to the ’alien’ base. She was eventually escorted to the laboratories to be used as a test subject, but at the last minute managed to escape thanks to the aid of one of the Nordic-type, tall aliens, who befriended her and showed her a secret way out, down an unguarded shaft.

"Back in the desert, she was rescued by members of the Blue Berets, and eventually flown back to Manhattan. During a de- briefing session with the military, she was warned to remain silent about her experiences. Anyone hearing such a bizarre tale would certainly think she had gone insane. It was inferred she could be committed to a mental institution at any time should she refuse to go along with the cover-up conspiracy, which she was told was being conducted ’for the sake of the country, and the sake of the world!’" (if you believe that excuse, then I have some beachfront property on Mercury that you might be interested in! - Branton)

William Cooper stated at the MUFON symposium in Las Vegas in 1989 that over 3,000 children disappear yearly in one section of Manhattan alone. Could there be some connection!?

The accounts of disappearances around underground tunnels and caverns are seemingly endless, as we see in the following incident recorded in Harold T. Wilkins’ book ’FLYING SAUCERS UNCENSORED’, p. 47:

"June 7, 1954: Three German tourists who entered the vast Lamprecht Cave, near Lofer, in the Salzburg mountain region of Austria have never been found. Their automobile was left locked outside the cave.

"...The above may very well be merely a case of amateur speleologists getting lost in labyrinthine caves, although it is unusual for THREE men to vanish in this fashion. But I must risk the charge of being accused of fancy and moonshine, when I say that both in England and the United States, there are regions of limestone caverns and mountains from which... queer phenomena associated with white lights descending to ground level from great altitudes have been reported!"

Similar disappearances were recorded by John Keel in his book ’OUR HAUNTED PLANET’, pp. 202-208:

"...There are periodic waves of disappearances which create brief sensations in the newspapers and are quickly forgotten. No one ever manages to find out where these people have gone. In 1912 five men, all unrelated, disappeared unaccountably in a single week in Buffalo, New York. Montreal, Canada, had a wave of missing persons in July, 1883, and again in July, 1892.

"Children vanish MORE FREQUENTLY than any other group. We’re not talking about ordinary runaways. In August, 1869, thirteen children vanished in Cork, Ireland. No sign of kidnapping or foul play. The same month there was a wave of disappearing children in Brussels, Belgium. Another group of youngsters melted away in Belfast in August, 1895. And again in August, 1920, eight girls (all under twelve years of age) disappeared forever in Belfast...

"Actually, children have been disappearing in large numbers for centuries all over the world, and most of these cases have remained unsolved. In the Middle Ages it was popularly believed that fairies and leprechauns frequently stole children away. The Indians of North and South America also have many myths and stories about children being kidnapped by little people. The notion that parahumans kidnap children is deeply entrenched in every culture...

"The celebrated Pied Piper of Hameln, Germany, is more than just a charming children’s story. A stranger actually did appear in Hameln in the Middle Ages, and he lured away 150 children never to be seen again. The event is still commemorated with an annual festival in Hameln (one of the old versions of the story says that the children were taken to a subterranean cavern - Branton).

"In A.D. 1212 a teenaged boy in France, Stephen of Cloyes, BEGAN TO HEAR VOICES which inspired him to collect together fifty thousand children for the pathetic Children’s Crusade. They marched off to do battle with the infidels and disappeared EN MASSE. The popular explanation is that they were all seized by slavers.

"...Ufologist Jerome Clark uncovered an extraordinary item from an old 1939 newspaper. ’On a day in the late summer, 1939, a military transport left the Marine Naval Air Station in San Diego, California, for a routine flight to Honolulu,’ Clark wrote in FLYING SAUCER REVIEW. ’About three hours afterwards several urgent distress signals sounded from the plane and then silence. Later the craft came limping back to execute an emergency landing. When Air Station personnel entered the plane, they found every man of the crew, including the copilot who had lived long enough to pilot the craft back to its base, dead of unknown causes.

"Each of the bodies carried large, gaping wounds, and the outside of the ship was similarly marked. Air Station men who touched parts of the craft came down with a mysterious skin infection.

"One of the most puzzling aspects of the whole affair was that the .45 automatics carried by the pilot and copilot as service pieces HAD BEEN EMPTIED, AND THE SHELLS LAY ON THE FLOOR. A smell of rotten eggs pervaded the atmosphere inside the plane... Mysterious skin infections and rotten egg odors (hydrogen sulfide) are phenomena familiar to all UFO researchers. It would seem that the transport was attacked -- apparently without provocation -- by some sort of strange aerial intruder."

The following account, taken from the May, 1946 issue of AMAZING STORIES magazine (pp. 171-173) seems to contain information which would explain many of the ’missing pieces’ of the overall ’Men In Black’ phenomena. At least some of the ’MIB’ have been variously described as oriental or ’androidal’ like beings, although as John Keel has stated, others seem to portray reptilian characteristics. Abductee Christa Tilton allegedly encountered some ’MIBs’ in a black automobile within Boynton Canyon, near Sedona, Arizona (a reported base site). She described them as follows:

"The men did not look right. Their faces had no expression on them whatsoever. They looked like they were wearing chalky tan makeup. Their movements were robot-like and unearthly."

The AMAZING STORIES letter, which was quite lengthy and excerpts of which we quote below, was submitted by a Mr. Edward John of (at the time) 475 Fell St., San Francisco, CA.:

"Sirs... I have enjoyed your stories for many years as I have read AMAZING since the first issue back in 1928 if I remember right.

"...I think I can show you an entrance to this subterranean city that he (Shaver) has written about several issues back. Here is what happened to me and you may judge for yourself. In 1931 my mother and I took up a section of land as a cattle raising home- stead from the U.S. Government and naturally it was not a choice piece... a person who turned out to be our nearest neighbor gave us some hints and as the place was only six miles from his we stayed at his ranch until we built our house. Then we moved into our own and all in all we stayed there about two years before we quite; and now I will relate the things that caused us to quit, which at the time I did not know much about, but since Mr. Shaver wrote, now I know and marvel that we managed to stand two years without getting killed by these things from below.

"As a note of interest I have had to use 30,000 rounds of ammunition in the period and perhaps that is why we are still here. At night I would sit up fully dressed all night with a rifle in my hands, ready, and an extra one by my side. In about five hours after dark I would hear things moving outside the house and after a while something would try to open the door quietly and I would wait until I saw the knob turn, then let go a clip right through the door and then pull it open and look around outside and there was nothing to be seen. After a couple of nights like that, that performance would stop and something new would be tried.

"There are too many incidents to be told in one letter, the best one was the two disappearing automobiles, which happened at about ten at night over at the neighbor’s place. It was as follows: the neighbor and we were sitting on the porch after supper when he saw headlights come over the hill to the fence then along the fence for about half a mile, then go out and that was all that night. So next morning we went to the trail along the fence and there were tire tracks of seven inch width tires and they went along the fence into the box canyon and right up against a smooth boulder about 20 feet in diameter and ended there. Now the car could not turn around anywhere in that place because the road is a trail five feet wide and one side is against our neighbor’s fence, which was not damaged and the other was a steep hill that no car could even make in compound low. You know, we have a few mountains here, and as far as backing out I tried that myself in the daytime with help and I could not steer a straight enough path without crossing my other marks so they did not back out or we would have trailed them as my neighbor has lived around there since 1848 and he sure knew his tracking. We never did get an answer to the question of where did the cars go.

"The cars were very large and black and very heavy and now that I compare them they were about twenty years ahead of anything I have ever seen anywhere and I had worked in the auto business for about five years before we took up the land. They were silent, smooth, no wavering of the lights and the trail is extremely rough; in places it has hollows a yard deep, but these cars went through at about 25 mph, and it would even wreck a jeep to do that, so you figure it out and let me know the answer if you can. By wavering of lights, I mean that the beams were steady and not flashing up and down as an ordinary car would do when a rough road is traveled.

"I have been away from there since 1933, but just about three months ago, I drove through with a friend for safety and my place is razed to the ground and everything that was made by human hands has been carried off -- even the old tin cans, and the place would not be noticed unless you knew where is was. The Coast and Geodetic survey had a marker near my house in the front yard and even that is gone; who would want to take a concrete marker and carry it away?

"...after two weeks, you can hear insects running on the ground, (also) forest fires will not burn there. They burnt 250,000 acres, then burnt all around this area; and that stopped the forest rangers. They never could understand because most of it is on the slope of a mountain and it should have gone, but they saw that the wind came down and blew from the top down and blew North, South, East and West at once and that was the only time that the wind ever blew there.

"Also you can detect an ATMOSPHERE of FEAR within 30 miles of the area and you will not get a statement from anyone who lives around there and the people in the valleys are afraid of the people in the hills. One farmer erected 20 foot barbed wire fences and a heavy gate across the road that leads to my old place. The gate would take a tank to knock down, so maybe there is something there, after all.

(Note: Richard Toronto reprinted a news article in his SHAVERTRON newsletter concerning a Krishna Sect temple that had been built on a mountain BETWEEN Hopland and Lakeport, California -- the same area that Edward John refers to. This sect had come under Federal scrutiny when it was discovered that they had been stockpiling weapons for some unknown purpose. Interesting... - Branton)

"It is located 110 miles north of San Francisco in Mendocino county and is directly on the old Pieta toll road that ran between Hopland and Lakeport in Lake county of which Clear Lake is quite a summer resort. If you care to look it up on a map get a good auto road map and look due south off the road midway between towns and you will note an area with no roads bounded by Sonoma Lake and lower Mendocino counties and there is it. If you wish to go there, be sure that enough people know where you went. Maybe they will be able to find you. There have been several disappearances along that stretch of road, even trucks have vanished. All the U.S. Government’s.

"The U.S. Government has noted the area as rough, unsurveyable and UNEXPLORED...

"Personally I do not care to go near the place, but if there is some way of driving the things out I would help if I can so that someone else could live there safely.

"...Also I forgot to mention there is a cave on the property that has steps leading down and there is no sound when a rock is thrown in. I have never seen it, but I understand that it is there... Also, several people (in the area) have died of heart failure and some have gone insane, I found out later.

"I think the thing that saved us was the fact that I am not surprised at anything and that I am quick to shoot and I can shoot without sighting and by ear and not having the THOUGHT of shooting fixed SO THAT the things would be warned. After that place, I was able to outshoot U.S. Marine sharpshooters. I tried competing in a match and I just never missed any target at any range. If I could see it, I could hit it, 5 out of 5. I have tried practice machine guns at plane models and I hit 3 out of 5 at speeds up to 700 mph scale without using the sights. So the old ranch gave me something worthwhile after all.

"Due to my physical condition, I cannot get into any armed forces, so that talent is wasted, for you see I have a bad leg and cannot walk more than a mile at a time. Since I left the ranch I have been in the radio business and have not owned a gun since ’34, because as long as I stay away from there I don’t need one..."

An interesting post-script to this story. Several years following this incident, some people who had befriended Edward John stated that he claimed to know of an man who was not from this planet. He was a radio expert in the Navy and, according to Mr. John, he was born on a world with no temperate zone but where the tropics and the arctic regions were almost adjacent to each other. Still later, others made references to Mr. John as having actually met up with the ’space brothers’, essentially becoming another ’contactee’ like those who frequented California during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.

Aside from the area referred to by Edward John, there are apparently other "danger zones" in different parts of the world that have been associated with underground phenomena. The ’I.N.F.O. JOURNAL’ (box 367., Arlington, VA, 22210), a publication devoted to ’Fortean’ research, in it’s Vol. IV, No. 2 issue related one of the most frightening and disturbing accounts of subterranean abduction that we have come across yet. The article, titled ’MOUNTAIN OF DEATH’, was written by David D. Browne, and originally appeared in the June 1972 issue of WALKABOUT, published in Sydney, Australia:

"Black Mountain comes almost as a shock when you see it first.

"Traveling by bus just south of Cooktown, North Queensland (Australia), a bend in the road suddenly discloses it and the visual impact can bring an involuntary exclamation, as you see it -- black, bare and sinister, a 1,000 ft. high pile of enormous boulders two miles long, rearing out of the rain-forest.

"This is ’the Mountain of Death.’ Aborigines will not go near it. An ancient legend warns them of danger. White men fear it too, because of the numbers of men who have gone there and disappeared without a trace, as if the earth -- or the mountain -- had swallowed them. Birds and animals shun the area.

"The rocks give off a curious metallic ring when struck, and the only sound is the croaking of countless frogs sheltered in the depths where the great granite boulders lie against each other.

"In Brisbane’s Public Library, a yellowing newspaper cutting tells some of the story:

"’Grim tragedy has been associated with the mountain ever since it has been known to white man.

"’Three men with horses completely disappeared at the mountain. They vanished as if the earth had opened and swallowed them up, for absolutely no trace of them has ever been discovered, although police and backtrackers and hundreds of local residents scoured the mountain and surrounding country.’

"Then following (were) the names and occupations of several others who disappeared, and the dates of their disappearance. The cutting continues:

"’This constitutes one of the most amazing stories in the police history of the far north, for not one of the mysteries has been solved and probably never will be.’

"Another newspaper cutting, signed Nancy Francis, reads:

"’The formation of these mountains is unique; their appearance grotesque. They are mountains of huge boulders full of chasms that go down to unsounded depths. Only a few rock wallabies and a few turkeys live near these grim, forbidding hills. The Aborigines regard the Black Mountains with dread.’

"In the files of the Cooktown police, dating back 25 years, there is a report made by a Sergeant of Police who discussed the mountain with a man whom he refers to as Mac. Mac began:

"’Know anything about Black Mountain, or so-called ’Mountain of Death’? Its aboriginal name is Kalcajagga.’

"’What does it look like at close quarters?’ I asked.

"’Just a mass of tumbled granite blocks; hardly any vegetation. The only living things there are black rock wallabies and enormous pythons 16 feet or more long and able to swallow a wallaby whole. The ridge is honeycombed with caves, nearly all unexplored. They dip down below ground level but nobody knows their extent or what they contain.’

"The latest fatalities, he reported, had occurred only a few years earlier when two young men set out to solve the riddle of earlier disappearances in the caves. They were never heard of again. Two black trackers who tried to trace them disappeared too.

"Then Mac went back to the beginning of the mountain’s grim story.

"The first-known fatality was that of a carrier named Grayner, in 1977. He had been searching on horseback for strayed bullocks when he, with his horse and bullocks, vanished without a trace. Thirteen years later, Constable Ryan, stationed at Cooktown, tracked a ’wanted’ man to the scrub at the foot of the mountain. Other trackers followed his trail to the entrance of one of the caves, but he was never seen again. Nor was the ’wanted’ man.

"More recently a gold prospector named Renn was added to the list of mysterious disappearances.

"Well-organized police teams with trackers combed the whole area for weeks without finding him.

"Then there was the case of Harry Owens, a station owner from Oakley Creek. One Sunday morning he rode over towards Black Mountain looking for strayed cattle. When he didn’t return on time his partner, George Hawkins, alerted the police then went out to look for him himself. But by the time the police joined in the search, Hawkins had also disappeared. Two of the native police trackers entered one of the caves. ONLY ONE OF THEM CAME OUT. He was so unnerved by what seemed to have been an experience of terror that he could give no clear account of what happened to them both.

"Mac even knew a white men who had penetrated the caves and lived to tell the tale, and produced a newspaper cutting of his story. It read:

"’Armed with a revolver and a strong electric torch I stepped into the opening. Like other Black Mountain caverns it dipped steeply downwards, narrowing as it went.

"’Suddenly I found myself facing a solid wall of rock, but to the right there was a passageway just large enough for me to enter in a stooping position. I moved along it carefully for several yards. The floor was fairly level, the walls of very smooth granite. The passage twisted this way and that, always sloping deeper into the earth.

"’Presently I began to feel uneasy. A huge bat beat its wings against me as it passed, but I forced myself to push on. Soon my nostrils were filled WITH A SICKLY, MUSTY STENCH. THEN MY TORCH WENT OUT.

"’I was in total darkness. It was inky black. From somewhere that seemed like the bowels of the earth I could hear faint moaning of bats.

"’I began to get panicky and I groped and floundered back the way I thought I had come. My arms and legs bleeding from bumps with unseen rocks. My outstretched hands clawed at space where I expected solid wall and floor. At one stage where I wandered into a side passage I came to what was undoubtedly the brink of a precipice, judging by the echoes.

"’The air was FOUL and I felt increasing DIZZINESS.

"’Terrifying thoughts were racing through my mind about giant rock pythons I have often seen around Black Mountain.

"’As I crawled along, getting weaker and losing all hope of ever getting out alive, I saw a tiny streak of light. It gave me super strength to worm my way towards a small cave mouth half a mile from the one I had entered.

"’Reaching the open air, I gulped in lungfulls of it and fell down exhausted.

"’I found I had been underground for five hours, most of the time on my hands and knees. A king’s ransom would not induce me to enter those caves again...’

"Such are some of the weird stories told of the mountain.

"These and the extraordinary structure of the mountain itself give rise to many questions, scientific and otherwise.

"On the scientific aspect, the following comments come from a member of the staff of the James Cook University of North Queensland, Dept. of Geology, Associate Professor P.J. Stephenson.

"He says, ’I have visited and climbed the mountain concerned. It is composed of huge granite boulders covered with black lichen. The complete black surface coating may be uncommon but the boulder pile is less so. Near Chillagoe and at several other localities in north Queensland similar phenomena exist.

"’The occurrences are somewhat puzzling because of their relative rarity. However, they must have been produced by rapid erosion of the ’skeletal’ soil profile. Many soil profiles contain fresh rock ’kernels’ in them and removal of the soil component would produce a boulder pile. But such removal takes place so slowly the ’kernels’ also weather completely...’

"There are still some practical questions to ask, however.

"What really did happen to those people who at various times in the last hundred years, have been said to disappear, vanish without a trace?

"...Any party that decides to unravel the mystery of the mountain will need to be very carefully organized and equipped to meet any hazard, likely or unlikely -- not forgetting the possibility of meeting a very real python. CR: Simpson."

At this point we will diverge from the subject of underground disappearances and re-enter the realm of conspiracy... In apparent relation to William Copper’s allegations concerning the connections between the Kennedy assassination, MJ-12, UFO’s and so on, we have the following very interesting yet very disturbing ’connection’ which was related by John Keel in his book ’OUR HAUNTED PLANET’ (1968., Fawcett Crest., Greenwich, Conn.):>P>

"In his detailed report on the Maury Island UFO (incident) of 1947, Kenneth Arnold also describes meeting a small, dark foreign looking man who was tinkering with the motor on a beat-up boat in TACOMA HARBOR. Ray Palmer, editor of ’AMAZING STORIES’ in Chicago, had commissioned Arnold to investigate the puzzling Maury Island affair, which began when a ’donut-shaped object’ (according to other sources, one of six such craft seen at the time - Branton) had rained ’slag’ onto a boat near Maury Island.

Pieces of that slag had killed a dog aboard the boat and slightly injured a boy, the son of Harold Dahl, who was piloting it. Early the next morning, according to Dahl’s story, a 1947 Buick drove up to his home and a black-suited man of medium height visited him. This man, Dahl said, recited in detail everything that had happened the day before AS IF HE HAD BEEN THERE. Then he warned Dahl not to discuss his sighting to anyone, hinting that if he did there might be unpleasant repercussions which would affect him and his family. Since Dahl and the others had not yet told anyone of their sighting, and since UFOs were still publicly unknown (Arnold’s sighting over Mount Rainier and the attendant publicity did not occur until three days later), Dahl was naturally nonplused by his strange visitor. This was the first modern MIB report (although Edward John might disagree... - Branton).
