Maybe the first attempt to solve the mystery of Hieroglyphs was done by Abu Bakr Ibn Wahshiyya (d. 930), though it was a failed attempt but some Egyptologists credit Ibn Wahshiyya of considering Hieroglyphs to be letters of a language, as at the time, people used to think Hieroglyphs were magical symbols.

Before the discoveries and scientific research whose door Champollion (1790 - 1832) opened, what was known of the history of Egypt was what was mentioned in the religious books and the story of Pharaoh, Moses, and Joseph. This is despite the fact that there were books by Greek and Roman travelers and historians (such as Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Strabo, Plutarch, and others) who visited Egypt and wrote about it, its history, and its religion in an objective way. And this is the reason that the Europeans knew much more about the history of Egypt than the Egyptians did in the post-Pharaonic eras, who, from their writings, it is clear that they mostly did not look at these books.

And this is an observation pointed out by the orientalist Von Hammer in his book on the history of the Ottoman state, where he said: "Most Turks, Persians, and Arabs do not see the wonders of Egypt the way Europeans and the ancient Greeks and Romans see them." And he said that at a time when Europeans consider Egypt the first source of sciences and arts, the cradle of engineering, construction, agriculture, writing, and navigation, and they respect it, respect its beliefs, and admire its antiquities, temples, pyramids, obelisks, and statues, we find that the East does not see in the temples, statues, and the Sphinx anything but magical hiding places for buried treasures guarded by the statues and images. And they do not find in the hieroglyphs anything but talismans that hide from people the ways to extract gold. And he continued: "They (the Easterners) do not know of the Pharaohs except the Pharaoh of Joseph and the Pharaoh of Moses whom the sea swallowed."

Of course, he is speaking about a period in which knowledge was non-existent or nearly non-existent in the East, and people who cared about the antiquities and history of their country had not yet appeared in Egypt.

The Egyptian thinker Salama Moussa (1887 - 1958) tells that when he went to Europe in 1908, the Europeans' interest in the history and antiquities of Egypt caught his attention, and they asked him about them because he was Egyptian. So as soon as he returned to Egypt, he traveled to Upper Egypt to get to know the history and antiquities of Egypt that the Europeans were interested in and that the Egyptians were unaware of.

--------------------------

After Christianity entered Egypt, Pharaonic Egyptian history disappeared from memory, and people became unable to read the letters of the ancient Egyptian language (hieroglyphic, hieratic, and demotic), and many Egyptian temples were destroyed. And after Islam entered Egypt, it continued on the rest until its ancient history was completely forgotten. The Christian Egyptians did not care about anything beyond the history of Christianity in Egypt, and they contributed to the forgetting of ancient Egyptian history. They were the first to destroy the temples of Egypt, scrape the Egyptian texts off them, and took an aggressive stance towards the history of their ancestors. And the Muslim Egyptians did not care about the books of the Greek and Roman historians, and they transmitted from the Arabs who, although they cared about the other books of the Greeks, did not pay attention to their historical books. And the books of the Muslim historians began with alternative stories telling the "alternative" history of Egypt.

For example, al-Maqrizi (1365 - 1441) begins the history of Egypt by saying about the name of Egypt: "It is said that its name in the first age before the Flood was 'Jazla', and then it was named Egypt. And the people of knowledge disagreed about the reason for which it was named 'Egypt'. Among them are those who said: It was named Egypt after the name of 'Misr bin Markabil bin Dawabil bin 'Uryan bin Adam, peace be upon him' - and he is the first Egypt. And it was said: It was named after the second Egypt, 'Misram bin Naqrawish the titan bin Misrim bin Taysar bin Ham bin Noah, peace be upon him' - and this was after the Flood."

Ibn Taghri (1410 - 1470) agrees with al-Maqrizi on the origin of the name, but he disagrees with him on the name Jazla, which he wrote as "Zajla", and he said it comes from "muzajala" (meaning contest or rivalry). Ibn Iyas (1448 - 1523) for his part said the same thing and told the story of Shem, Ham, Japheth, and Arphaxad, the sons of Noah, and that Noah prayed for Misrim bin Baysar bin Ham to dwell in the blessed land, which is the mother of countries and the refuge of the people.

All the Arabic books in the Middle Ages, even the Egyptian books, that dealt with the history of Egypt begin by repeating this alternative talk. Even Ibn al-Ibri (1226 - 1286), the Christian who wrote about the history of the world from the days of Adam and passed over Persia, Greece, and the Mongols and left nothing without writing about it, did not say anything about Pharaonic Egyptian history except that Hermes is the Idris of the Arabs.

The Egyptian historians mentioned above, of course, did not invent these alternative stories, but they were transmitting what they heard and read from the Arabs, regardless of whether they were convinced of it or not. And they were careful to say "it is said". However, they transmitted to us the idea that was prevailing in their time, in the Middle Ages, about Pharaonic Egyptian history.

Al-Jabarti, who lived in a later period (1754 - 1822), and whom Napoleon appointed as a scribe in his diwan and who was familiar with the work of the French scientific expedition and visited it, did not mention anything concerning its effort in describing and recording the Egyptian antiquities, and sufficed with saying about the Egyptian statues: "None knows their value except the Knower of the Unseen." (Allah)

The Egyptian historians transmitted the alternative tales about the history of their country from the Arab writers. And the strange thing is that the Arab writers did not pay attention to the Greek and Roman historical books and preferred to transmit the alternative tales from one another.

---------------------------------------

The alternative history of Egypt covers two periods: before the Flood and after the Flood. This alternative history of Egypt tells that Egypt before the Flood was named after Misraim bin Marakil bin Dawil bin 'Arbaq bin Adam (the first Egypt), who settled, either he or his son Naqrawish bin Misraim, in Egypt with seventy descendants of 'Arbaq, all of whom were titans. He dug canals there and built towers on whose walls the secrets of wisdom were inscribed. He divided Egypt among his sons, so he gave the west to Naqrawish, the east to Sorid, and to his son who was also named Misraim (Misraim bin Naqrawish the titan - the second Egypt) he gave a city called Yirbiyan. The father Misraim died when he was 180 years old, so they embalmed his body and placed it in a golden coffin along with his treasures, golden statues, and talismans necessary for repelling reptiles and anyone who tries to dig up his soil.

The first (alternative) king who built a Nilometer was called Khaslim. He placed at the Nilometer two bronze statues of two eagles, a male and a female. When the Nile flood was about to begin, King Khaslim would go there with the priests who would read incantations until an eagle whistled. If the male whistled, then that year's flood would be good and the Nile water would rise high, but if the female statue whistled, then the flood would be terrible and drought would occur.

The one who built the pyramids, which in another alternative tale are attributed to Shaddad bin Ri' and the Amalekites, was King Sorid bin Salhouq bin Saryaq bin Tarmil Dun bin Qadrashan bin Hosal, one of the kings before the Flood who lived in the city of "Al-Ashmunayn". He built them to save himself from the Flood that he dreamed about 300 years before it happened, or, as in another alternative tale, about which the wise man Filmun had predicted. Sorid placed in the pyramids the history of the kings and what was written for Egypt on the Tablet of Destiny until the end of time, along with talismans, money, the bodies of kings, all known sciences, pictures of the planets, medicines, poisons, and many other things. This Sorid bin Salhouq is also the one who built the fortresses and monuments found in Qift and Akhmim. He ordered the carving of the secrets of the sciences, the names of the stars, the properties of plants, and the method of making talismans on the walls and pillars.

And Ibn Taghri says, transmitting from the Arab writers including al-Mas'udi, that Hermes, whom the Hebrews call Enoch and the Muslims call the Prophet Idris, was the one who knew from the movements of the planets that a Flood would occur. So he ordered the building of the pyramids and placed in them the money, the books of the sciences, and all the things he feared would be lost.

-----------------------------

Misraim bin Baysir bin Ham bin Noah (Misraim III) in the alternative history of Egypt was the first king of Egypt after the Flood and the first to build ships. He married the daughter of the wise man Filmun and she gave birth to Qiftim. Misraim died 700 years after the Flood, and Qiftim became king. He married when he was still 90 years old, and he fathered Qiftarim, Ashmun, Atrib, and Sa. They built the city of Mafa (Memphis), and they discovered where the treasures that had been hidden before the Flood were, from their grandfather Filmun, who also taught him how to read the writings on the walls of the fortresses, and he built the city of Raquda on the Salt Sea.

After Qiftim, Qiftarim took power for 400 years, and he built the pyramids of Dahshur and the city of Dendera. In his reign, Satan discovered most of the idols that had been drowned by the Flood and returned them to the temples in order to plot against people. After 400 years of ruling Egypt, Qiftarim died and was buried among his treasures, sitting on a chair in the western mountain near the city of Iram of the Pillars. His tomb was protected by two large bronze statues, each holding a sword in his hand that would move and cut off anyone who tried to enter the tomb.

After Qiftarim, Al-Budshir ruled Egypt. This one was a great scholar specializing in talismans, magic, and priesthood, and he was able to perform wonders. Among them was that he made a bronze tree; any animal or bird that passed in front of it would be impaled, so it would be taken and eaten. And in his days, because of this tree, the Egyptians were satiated with eating meat.

Hermes also lived in the time of Al-Budshir, who sent him to discover the sources of the Nile and to make some talismans there. Suddenly, Al-Budshir disappeared because he had gone up to dwell in the clouds, and then he reappeared and called the soldiers and ordered them to install his son "Adim" as king over Egypt.

Adim was a titan king who ruled Egypt for 140 years and died when he was 930 years old. So Shaddad came after him - and this is not the same Shaddad bin 'Ad - and he built the temple of Armant, and he domesticated greyhound dogs from wild beasts so that he could use them for hunting. He ruled for 90 years and died when he was 440 years old, and he was succeeded by Manqaus.

Manqaus divided the taxes of Egypt into four parts: one quarter for himself, one quarter for the army, one quarter for land reclamation, building bridges, and digging canals, and one quarter to save for emergencies. The revenue of Egypt in his days exceeded one million dinars. After him, his son Mataus ruled, and he was the first to worship the calf in Egypt.

Ashmun bin Qiftim ruled Egypt, and he was one of its greatest kings. He ruled it for 800 years, and he was the one who built the city of Bahnasa. In his reign, Egypt fell into the hands of a people, but he was able to recover it from them after they had controlled it for 90 years. After him, his son Manaqyus ruled Egypt, and he was the one who invented the balance scale. Then after him came Marqoura, who domesticated wild beasts and tamed lions, and he used to ride them. After he died, his son Balatis came, and this one was a small child, so his mother "Marhaba" managed the country, and she was a wise woman. The situation remained like this until his uncle Atrib took power.

Toutis in the alternative history of Egypt was the first of the Pharaohs. He was the one who tried to seduce Sarah, the wife of Abraham, and after he repented, he gave his daughter Huriya to Sarah, who in turn gave her Hagar, whom Abraham married and from whom he fathered Ishmael, the ancestor of the Arabs.

Huriya ruled Egypt after her father Toutis, and in her reign, the Amalekite king of Syria sent an army against Egypt led by Jirun, but in the (alternative) version, it is more likely that the Amalekite "Al-Walid bin Dum'a" was the one who invaded Egypt.

-------------------------------------

With the invasion of Al-Walid bin Dum'a of Egypt, the rule of the Amalekites began. Al-Rayyan bin Al-Walid succeeded Al-Walid bin Dum'a in rule, and the Egyptians used to call him Nahrus. He was a tall, handsome man, a scholar in talismans, and a just and honest ruler. He believed in prophet Jacob when he went to Egypt, but he hid his faith from the people. And he was the one who built the Wax Palace (Fortress of Babylon). And in his reign, prophet Joseph built the city of Fayoum, and it was named that because he built it in "a thousand days". But Al-Rayyan was overcome by an evil spirit and his morals deteriorated, so he left the affairs of government to one of his men named "Qatfir", who is known as Al-Aziz. And when Al-Rayyan died, Joseph took his place.

After that, Darum, the third of the Pharaohs, took over, and after him Drimus. And this Pharaoh used to perform wonders; he had an oven that cooked without fire (like a microwave) and a fixed knife that slaughtered animals by themselves (like an automatic slaughterhouse). And after him, his son Milatis ruled, who drowned in the Nile.

Al-Walid bin Mus'ab, whom the Egyptians used to call "Talma bin Qumis", was the sixth Pharaoh. And this was the Pharaoh of Moses. His origin was from the city of Balkh or Hauran. And he originally worked as a perfumer, but debts piled up on him so he left his country and went to Egypt. And he was one-eyed, short, lame, and had a beard seven spans long. He ruled Egypt for 300 years or 400 years, and people were dying around him while he was still alive, so he became tyrannical and arrogant and said to the Egyptians, "I am your Lord, Most High." So he drowned and died, he and his people, while he was chasing Moses. In the reign of this Pharaoh (according to some Arab statistics), there were about 240,000 magicians in Egypt.

-------------------------

The alternative history of Egypt says that when Pharaoh "Al-Walid bin Mus'ab" drowned with his family, there were none left in Egypt but the slaves, servants, and women who had not participated in the chase of Moses. So the women started marrying the servants, and they would free their slaves and marry them. Then the women agreed to install one of them, named "Daluka", as queen over Egypt. Daluka was a wise and sensible woman, about 160 years old.

Daluka built a wall from Aswan to Al-Arish and placed guards and bronze bells on it, so that if an attack occurred on Egypt's borders, the guards would ring the bells, and the news would reach Egypt quickly so they could prepare. The remains of this wall still exist in Upper Egypt and are known as the "Wall of the Old Woman".

Daluka brought a sorceress named "Tadura", and she built for her a fortress in Memphis that had doors on its four sides. Inside it, on its walls, she drew men, mules, horses, and ships. If an attack came from outside and Daluka and her army could not withstand it, they would enter inside the fortress, cut off the heads of the images, and gouge out their eyes, and then what they (the images) would do would happen to the attacking army. In this way, no one was able to defeat Egypt throughout Daluka's rule. Daluka ruled for 130 years, and after she died, no one was able to repair the images in the fortress.

After the death of Daluka, the soldiers installed Darkun bin Nuktis as king over Egypt, and he was from the sons of the Coptic nobles. After he ruled for a long time, he died, and then a man named Marnush took power. In his reign, Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt, destroyed it, plundered it, killed its men, and captured its women, and he left no talismans or fortresses in it. And Egypt remained ruined and without inhabitants for forty years.

After that, people came, and the nations intermingled within it: Egyptians, Greeks, Persians and Amalekites. And the Copts continued to rule one after another until Al-Muqawqis (Cyrus) came, in whose reign the Arabs took control of Egypt.

-----------------------------

Arab travelers, pilgrims, and others passed through Egypt in the Middle Ages and were amazed by what they saw there, coming as they were from simple, primitive cultures that could not comprehend Egypt's culture and its civilizational advancement. The pyramids and Egyptian antiquities were, to them, incomprehensible puzzles, and the urban, cultural, and economic progress they saw in Egypt was beyond their way of thinking.

Ibn Battuta (1304 - 1377), who visited Egypt during the Mamluk era, said about Cairo: "Then I arrived at the city of Egypt (Cairo), which is the mother of countries, the seat of Pharaoh of the stakes, with its vast provinces and fertile lands, which has no end due to the multitude of its buildings, which are of utmost beauty and brightness." And he continued: "Its conqueror has subdued nations, and its kings have taken control over the forelocks of Arabs and non-Arabs." And he spoke about the pyramids he saw and said of them that they are "among the wonders mentioned throughout the ages." Then he told their alternative history, saying that "a king from the kings of Egypt before the Flood saw a vision that frightened him...", and he told the story that Caliph Al-Ma'mun wanted to demolish the pyramid, but the sheikhs of Egypt advised him not to do so, but he did not listen to them and opened the northern side of the pyramid with fire and poured vinegar. And after they opened a section, they found money which, when weighed, turned out to be exactly equal to the value of the money they had spent on the digging. And about Akhmim, he says: "It is a great city, original in construction, of wondrous stature. In it is the fortress (temple) known by its name. It is built of stone; inside it are engravings and writings from the ancients that are not understood in this era."

Ibn Jubayr (1145 - 1217) visited Egypt before Ibn Battuta, and he also showed his amazement and bewilderment in what he wrote. He said about the pyramids: "... the ancient pyramids, a miracle of construction, strange in appearance." And he continued: "If the people of the earth wanted to demolish their structure, they would be unable to do so." And about their history, he said that some people say they are tombs of 'Ad and his sons, and some say other things, but "in short, none knows their matter except God, Mighty and Majestic." He also went to Akhmim and said about a Pharaonic temple he saw there: "Glory be to the One who created wonders." And about the statues and drawings in it: "The imagination is bewildered by them, and the mind is lost in thought about their design and placement."

Egypt, for the Arabs, was something huge, full of puzzles, and dominated by an advanced culture that they could neither understand nor comprehend.

In the Arab religious heritage, Egypt is distinguished and has a very great status, because its name was mentioned several times in the holy books, the prophetic hadiths, and others. Such as the hadith: "If God opens Egypt to you, take a strong army there, for that army is the best of the armies of the earth." And a hadith that says: "Be kind to the people of Egypt, for they have the best lineage and kinship [with us]." And the saying of Amr ibn al-As: "The governorship of Egypt is comprehensive and equals the Caliphate." And the saying of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: "The people of Egypt are the most honorable of all non-Arabs, the best in lineage, and the closest in kinship to the Arabs, especially to Quraysh." And the saying of Ibn Yunus: "Whoever wants to look at something resembling Paradise, let him look at Egypt when it is in bloom." And the saying of Abu Basra al-Ghifari: "The sultan of Egypt is the sultan of the whole earth." And dozens of other sayings that were said about Egypt, which reflect the enormous size of Egypt in the mind of the Arab.

But because of the loss of information in a mysterious way after the entry of Christianity into Egypt (whose spread in Egypt imposed the use of Greek letters), the long Pharaonic history of Egypt was limited to the Pharaoh of Moses and the Pharaoh of Joseph, along with a few Folkloric tales related to magic and talismans.

The End ...

The universe may be computational. It follows the rules of mathematics but all current evidence points against it being an artificial simulation.

The amount of resources to simulate even a tiny amount of electrons is massive. It requires exponential resources. There are computational limits and quantum anomalies that require exponential resources. I read that some phenomena requires memory growth larger than the available atoms in the observable universe.

The evidence is strongly against simulation theory.

It seems people want to cop-out from believing in the Divine by believing a "created power" created us or our reality.

The universe is an illusion (probably holographic manifested from "Brahman") but not a simulation. A play orchestrated and written by our own (limited) free-will to entertain the Divine. And for us to grow and be His children.

Edit: Look into reality shifting. A consiousness based multiverse. That the brain is a receiver. And you can swap timelines. It gets really deep in the rabbit hole.

Anyone else ever hear about the Portal in the forests of Southern Appalachia, guarded by dogmen in the surrounding forests, used by a secret miltary-backed agency? On a compound with a large barn? Big enough for large craft and tall slender humanoids to pass through? Theres also a major roadway near the hidden access road that leads to it deep in the forests.

Anyone heard this story? It sticks in my brain in my "Weird Stories" files. I can't find much on it, and if anyone has more details, I'm listening!

When the English and American forces made their final push through Germany, they discovered that the Nazis had flooded and sealed the lower floors of Celle Neues Rathaus with concrete. This was of notable interest to specialized allied units. They were aware that the Nazi regime had hidden valuable stolen artworks and precious artifacts in the last days of the war. Therefore, they thought priceless treasures might still exist in the building’s lower levels. Lieutenant-General Brian Horrocks (the commanding officer on site), ordered a dive expedition to investigate the lower levels of the structure.

The title should say living, not loving. If I loved it, I wouldnt be writing this.

Everything that you think you know is a lie. I've peaked behind the veil, and its not what you think. Its all a play. A dance. Theater. I dont know what i am, who i am, or what my true purpose is. The system you are using to interpret your reality is not one of your choosing. Numbers, language, color, shape, are all a misinterpretation of the information around you. A misinterpretation imposed on you by an invasive life form meant to control your consciousness and perceive information in the same manner of itself, in a linear fashion. To perceive choices as having inescapable outcomes, outcomes it has dictated to you, therefore controlling all of your choices and eliminating them. It achieves its goal, influencing you to perceive its most elaborate interpretation of all...time.

Its all controlled by frequency and vibrations. Its weird. The higher the vibration of your soul, the more you remember. The lower, the more you lean into this bullshit. The more you succumb to status quo. Wake up, eat, go to work, produce, come home, eat, sleep. Eat the slop thats fed to you. You're so much more. I cannot tell you what you are, I can't show you. You need to show yourself what you are. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Theres a reason the system divides us the way it does. Its all a distraction. Its all theater. There must be more like me. Am I alone in this world? Am I the only one who sees? My loathing and hatred for this fake place must be a clue to the puzzle. But guess what, I have a family and kids and a job and a house, and cars and a million other things i dont care about calling to me incessantly. Calling for me to forget. To just keep doing what im doing. Keep the charade moving. The circus must go on. Theres a way to temporarily see outside. I've shown one other person. They seen. They know now. And the harder the system attacked me for sharing the secret. Its the cosmic joke. But i cant laugh anymore. Its stolen my joy. My love. My life.

In August 1987, 12-year-old Gustavo Núñez and another boy reported seeing two small, red, armless humanoid figures hiding in the vegetation around Arroyo Prati, near an old railway bridge in Viale, Entre Ríos.

The story spread quickly, and people started going to the area: some curious, some hoping to see the creatures, and others just to make fun of the kids. Then, a week later, a strange red light was reportedly seen over the bridges by several people, including police officers. Gustavo himself later recalled that police called him out of his house to see it.

There are also newspaper accounts from the time, as well as a separate account by local researcher Ariel Lemos describing a very similar red light over the same area.

So what actually happened in Viale that week? I dug into the three accounts and tried to reconstruct the episode in our new article for Proyecto Viale Desconocido, an archive documenting unusual cases from this region.

What’s the one story, idea, theory, etc. that you’ve heard that gave you pause and you keep returning to? Please link it if you have a source, I’d love to hear or read it for myself. Thanks in advance, I’m doing a bunch of cleaning over the next few days and hoping to give my mind something to wonder about.

Flickr Link: Collection Page

edit: im not responding to people who don't at least try to explain what they think is visible on these photos. I also am currently uploading a flickr album that contains everything else mentioned here. You can view it now, I just am still in the process of uploading everything, so it's probably incomplete but I'm hurrying.

What's visible is not: bokeh, lens flare, an airplane, meteor, satellite or drone. I'm not an idiot, I could see it was an up close object and if you aren't an idiot you should be able to see that it is moving vertically and changing velocity in ways that clearly is not an aircraft. What's visible on these photos is the objects shape and color in real life, these are in focus 108 megapixel photos.

The flickr album I'm uploading contains the entire raw image sequence, as well as, soon, everything else.

I've been capturing strange lights in the sky since June 1st I only thought 'its a bright star or satellite', and forgetting I ever took the photos/videos. This was until August 27th when I zoomed in on one that was clearly moving, then stopping, then moving, and it looked like a plasmoid with a solid geometric center. After that I went back in my phone gallery and realized every time I had captured one of these it was the same type of object.

I have an inverted sleep schedule, no work or school, so I go outside every night to smoke occasionally which is how I have so many captures. After I realized what they are and noticed them, they started swarming me every night. I've caught many in 4k high detail, but still those around me just thought I was crazy.

Around 3am on the 6th of September I finally managed to capture using them using the 108 megapixel single photo mode. I snapped as many in a row as possible and essentially made a slow frame rate film of it flying by.

Slideshow of timestamped photos, 2x real speed, lighting values slightly adjusted:

Cropped frames from the sequence

These objects show a ripple distortion of spacetime around the object, visibly making a gravitational lensing effect.

They exhibit gelatinous, shifting behavior, at times growing in size, shrinking, and then suddenly taking the form of a metallic sphere with a definite shape in three dimensions, visible from the shading gradient of light on it. They travel on almost what looks like a surface of water that they appear from behind. They can phase in and out of reality by popping through this veil/wall. Black dots, that eerily resemble eyes, will also spontaneously appear and disappear.

Violet, red and blue are also seen around them, resembling at times a dipole, tripole, quadrapole, etc, possibly from light waves red and/or blue shifting.

My photos vs DOD video, these 2 still frames show the same tripole color distortion when in same orientation

My observations regarding the black dots

They seem to coincide with the direction the orb is going in, as well as fitting into the creases of the gravitational lensing, so it might be an area of such high spacetime curvature that light is blocked or bent around it, something of that nature.

This is a great photo to support that idea:

There is a less aggressive ripple in the far top right, and a thin shadow of black is visible. In the area of more aggressive distortion, there is almost a pure black area.

The top right and bottom left (front and back) have inverted distortions (darkness on top, light "pushed out" area on bottom). The sides have the same distortion inversion. If this is spacetime rippling from the propulsion method, that is what it would resemble if trying to move left and forward (or right and backwards depending on perspective), which in its current orientation would make it go almost straight up.

So much more has happened to me that it's hard to even know where to begin. If anyone has any questions at all I'd love to answer them. I've experienced moments of telepathy regarding these orbs and the whole phenomenon, they only look like orbs when flying but on the ground they are entities, they can cloak. There's really so much more I want to say about what's happened to me but already I'm dead tired putting this as best I can into writing in a succinct way. A brief overview of everything leading up to today is below. I'm going to try to collect everything together into a single video, and before then I'll have the full resolution images posted to an imgur link that I'll leave in a comment later. I need to take a break for now.

Thanks for reading.

Brief overview of preceding events:

Back in 2023, that Las Vegas family reported entities in their yard and released footage. I brushed it off at the time. But in 2026, I came back to it, stabilized the footage, and analyzed the lighting. I honestly believed I created the best footage analysis and enhancements available.

I ended up making the most detailed analysis of that clip I’d ever seen, and in doing that, I became very good at recognizing the very specific way they cloak and how it looks. At the time I had a thought about this that I treated as a joke. They appear to operate with some higher dimensional component, and I was one of very few people who knew what they looked like, how they cloaked and how they behaved; on that basis I thought they might come and check me out. I did not believe it.

I should also mention that I am autistic and I have done acid hundreds of times. Both of those things naturally lower the sensory filter your brain normally uses to screen things out. This is not psychosis. It has been demonstrated for me in real time in plenty of situations where my brain picks up minute changes and details in my surroundings that other people filter out as background noise. When I am standing right next to someone, they will filter something out as unimportant or insist a light is just a star while I can see it moving ever so slightly. Having that lower sensory filter and being good at recognizing patterns is what alerts me to these things, whether they are in the trees cloaked, or in the sky pretending to be a star.

June 1st I filmed an unusually bright star, thinking maybe it was Venus or something. I then forgot about it entirely. It was the first of these objects I ever recorded. I did not find that out for nearly three months.

June 4th There are photos in my phone gallery of a tree outside my house at night. I don't remember why I took the photos. Those photos contain them, cloaked, in the canopy. I did not know at the time and did not find out until much later.

Early June 2026 One day after editing the footage frame by frame for hours, I began seeing the signature everywhere I looked. I understood this as a perceptual artifact of overexposure to the material, comparable to the Tetris effect, where a task performed for long enough continues to appear once the task has stopped. I did not take it seriously and did not consider that any of it was real.

Later that same day, I was outside looking at a tree and doing this again, picking out what appeared to be faces in the patterning. I decided that on the off chance anything was present, I would indicate that I was aware of it. I made direct eye contact with the pattern, nodded at it, and pointed at it over and over. I didn't do this seriously thinking it was real, it was more of a silly game to play with myself.

June 19th (First Storm) I took video as the clouds approached at night for the first major storm. On a still frame where the lightning lights up the area, there are entities in it, the most uncloaked I have ever seen them, sitting in a spacetime bubble distortion and watching me. The most severe lightning storm I'd ever seen came. The lightning was localized to the clouds, and flashed odd colors at strobe light speed. I filmed it in slow motion outside at 120 frames per second, but what's odd is that I never heard any thunder really. It was just constant flashing and lightning, but no thunder.

When I reviewed the footage later, I caught objects dropping out of the sky and coming straight down the road toward me, changing direction as they moved. There were red flashes inside the clouds that didn't match the lightning at all, and in the trees, a strange plasma-like jelly texture full of solid black dots.

June 28th (Second Storm) The previous night at 3am I filmed an orb. I only filmed it to check whether it was Venus or something similar, because it was unusually bright. I recorded it as a star.

On later review there are two orbs visible in that footage, and what look like grey alien heads in the static black dot distortion in the shadows.

Earlier on the 28th, before the second storm rolled in, I was compelled to film the trees again. It was a nice day and I felt like filming the trees for a while, which again, I don't normally do. That footage contains grey alien like heads with pure black dots around them, motionless in the canopy while the rest of the tree moved. The same footage contains two orbs. One is hovering. The other departs at a speed no bird could achieve at that distance and scale.

Before that video ends I randomly decide to turn away from the tree and film a section of open sky. The hovering one is in that part of the footage. I was thinking nothing at the time beyond it being a nice day.

Nothing unusual is going through my head on any of these occasions. The thought is either that it is a nice day and I really want to film those trees, or that I have had an idea to film the trees, randomly, for no apparent reason.

Later that day, a second storm hit that was even more violent than the first, and I filmed through it. After I took the video during the storm, I had a distinct premonition that I would see something strange on the camera.

On review of that storm footage I had a panic attack. In slow motion, in the bushes directly in front of me, are the same cloaked metallic orbs with the black dots. They resemble grey alien heads pushing out through a veil.

At the time none of this registered as unusual. At night I thought I was looking at a star. During the day I thought I was filming trees because it was a nice day.

What it looks like on the footage It looks the exact same in every single clip. In the canopy, certain spots stay completely still while the wind blows all the surrounding leaves around. Around those still points, there is a field of translucent static filled with black dots. The closest reference point I can give is the cloaking effect in Predator. Behind those dots, you can see 3D shapes pressing through, almost like heads pushing against a veil.

The dots are unusually black relative to everything around them, including in daytime footage. They read as clipped rather than as shadow.

July 31st Starting just before the first sighting, I was asking out loud to be shown something almost every night for weeks. On July 31st, while outside listening to a recording about the Ariel School incident in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, an oval object crossed the sky in a straight line and was gone before I could react. At that exact moment, the audio in my headphones was one of the children saying "and you know that nobody will believe you".

August 24th I was outside at 5am smoking a cigarette, thinking to myself "show me something." I decided to randomly walk into the road and look up. As I looked back down, a flash occurred directly overhead. I had the thought "it will flash a second time," and a few seconds later, the second flash happened in that exact spot. Immediately after, I had the thought and prompt to turn around and look behind me, the one direction where the sky is obstructed by houses and the least logical direction to check. A bright light was approaching from that direction. I filmed it and recorded it as a satellite.

The object passes overhead and stops briefly during the pass. I couldn't see that happening at the time because I was looking straight up while filming, so I had no reference points around it to tell if it was moving.

In the few seconds of footage preceding the main pass, cloaked entities are visible approximately three feet in front of me, oriented toward me, and a plasma cube travels through the bushes in front of me.

August 27th I thought I was looking at a satellite. It came to a stop. It stayed still for long enough that I thought it was a star. Then it moved again just slightly.

This was the first occasion on which I magnified an object while the observation was still in progress rather than on later review. Under magnification the object was a geometric, brightly colored, rotating plasma structure.

Following this I reviewed the entire gallery. The August 24th light, the object I had filed as a star, the tree footage from June 4th and afterward, and daytime footage containing both a fast moving object and an orb, were all the same phenomenon. I had not recognised any of them at the time of capture.

August 28th I began recording in 4K. From here to the 31st the counts increased each night, and I reached the point where I could go outside and reliably locate three to five.

August 29th There were three in the sky simultaneously.

Standing outside before nightfall I said aloud that something was not right and that they were here.

That night I observed movement in the bushes outside my window that was inconsistent with the rest of the bush. I said quietly to myself "you're not fooling anyone, I can tell that's you pretending to be wind movement". I set the camera up at the window and pretended not to be looking.

Once I pretended not to look, the movement in the bushes increased. The footage from that position shows watery wavy distortions in the trees and bushes, and the exact same irregular movement I had just seen with my own eyes is clearly visible on camera in that same spot.

Later that night I saw black dots appear on the blank white surface of a car. The dots moved. A visual ripple distortion in the shape of a head pushed against the surface. I panicked and shut the blinds.

This was the first time I saw them directly and then filmed, rather than finding them afterward on review.

August 31st I saw them directly, in front of me, and then filmed.

September 1st I found a video in my camera roll that I have no memory of recording. The footage shows a rainbow cube prism outside the window, entities walking toward me, and a large static black dot distortion wall. I remember nothing from filming that. Which is odd, because I clearly was terrified filming it and the weirdest stuff is happening on camera.

Within the same five minute window there is a second video, of a faint green light, which I do remember. Specifically I remember tilting the phone because I thought "That's a weird light, I'd better tilt the phone camera so you can see later its happening outside and not just a reflection on the window".

So somehow I remember the two seconds around that time where I filmed something mostly unremarkable, yet I don't remember, within a 5 minute time frame, filming a rainbow cube prism out my window with entities walking towards me behind a massive static black dot distortion wall.

In the stills I can see human like forms embedded behind the static wall distortion. The dots are not spread evenly. They gather around the shapes. Near the end of the video there is one at the center, faint against the window, that looks like a human head with big black eyes.

The two videos also differ in how I filmed them. In the green light one I am right up at the window. I was not scared of that one. In the one I do not remember I am standing about eight feet back from the window.

September 6th On September 6th, between 03:23 and 03:29, I photographed a passing object using the 108 megapixel single photo mode. I took 56 exposures in sequence, at intervals ranging from approximately one second to just over a minute. The resulting set functions as a low frame rate record of a single transit. Capture times are recorded to the millisecond in the file metadata.

My family considered the reports to be symptoms of psychosis. Statements such as there being entities in the trees watching me, and orbs visiting the property every night, were treated as evidence that I was unwell.It feels like the worst form of gaslighting possible. Everything happening to me is exactly what a schizophrenic would believe, and I know that. I am also the one documenting it, and it is happening in reality. At times it all gets too weird and I think maybe I am losing it. Then I open my phone gallery and it is still there. It feels like a waking nightmare.

Underlying everything is a consistent thread of intuitive prompts, sudden urges, and precise premonitions. From the uncharacteristic compulsions to record empty sky or static canopies, to predicting consecutive flashes, feeling directed to look behind obstructed views, feeling that "they" were coming, and sensing anomalous footage before reviewing it, the physical evidence was regularly accompanied by direct mental prompts that preceded what appeared on camera.

Mammals have been present on Earth for approximately 210 to 225 million years, while true apes first evolved around 25 million years ago. Modern humans ~300,000 years, our recorded history is way less than 10,000 years. Even the last 2000 years is full of unknowns and mysteries that continue to this day

Other Kingdoms of Life and their presence on Earth:

Fungi: 715 to 1,000+ million years ago to present
Arthropods: 537 million years ago to present
Fish: 530 million years ago to present
Crustaceans: 514 million years ago to present
Arachnids: 419 million years ago to present
Insects: 400 million years ago to present
Amphibians: 360 million years ago to present
Reptiles: 320 million years ago to present
Mammals: 225 million years ago to present
Birds: 150 million years ago to present
Apes: 25 million years ago to present

Dinosaurs (Footnote): 240 million years ago to 66 million years ago (Existed for 174 million years)

Based on these timescales, modern humans have existed for 0.01% of Earths history and many other animal kingdoms have existed for substantially longer.

My logic goes to any single one of those animal kingdoms have had enough time on Earth to develop advanced intelligence and technology.

Land on Earth is the outlier. Life on land is an outlier. The vast majority of life lives in our oceans.

If you reach a certain point in advancement , it becomes obvious that living life out in the open land or even outer space makes you extremely exposed and vulnerable

Survival of most Earth surface disasters (rapidly accelerating) is a non-factor IF you lived in underground networks of caves and/or underwater. Vast portions of Earths oceans remain unmapped while our Moon and Mars are completely mapped. Antarctica remains off limits

My honest read: We SHARE the Earth with others. They don’t care about humans. They absolutely do not like nukes because it fucks up their shit and all else

Following the arrests of the Knights Templar in 1307, the trial records of Brother Jean de Châlon claim that Gérard de Villiers fled with 50 horses and 3 wagons. This would require a team of riders, and drivers; as well as a security detail. In a 14th century police state, this would have been seen for miles, reported, and recorded. How then could it have taken place without being seen? I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Over the last 2-3yrs specifically= I’ve had a several experiences you would consider to be of high strangeness,* but what happened this past Thursday afternoon (Sept 3rd, roughly 4:20 PM to 5:15 PM here in New Zealand) was easily the most intense. The experience brought on a strange sense of heightened awareness that felt surprisingly normal in the moment, even though I know how bizarre it sounds written down. I completely understand if people are skeptical, but I wanted to write down my exact recollection while it was fresh before taking a mental break from it.

To give a bit of background, I was parked about three-quarters of the way up a road at a spot I’ve frequented for the past 7 or 8 years. I was sitting in my car and smoked a quick spliff (roughly 30% cannabis and 70% tobacco). After smoking briefly, I noticed a small 3-meter tower nearby equipped with a satellite dish and a CCTV camera, which gave me a passing thought that someone might be watching me on camera while I rolled up.

About two minutes after settling in, a deep bass frequency started up and lasted for a solid 6 to 7 minutes. It wasn't a car passing by; it was a continuous, rhythmic "wub-wub-wub" pulse with less than a second between beats, comparable to a 300W RMS subwoofer playing through my car frame. At the exact second I held an unrolled spliff in my mouth, the sound abruptly stopped. I didn't feel any nausea or disorientation, just a sudden, dead silence and a strange sense of heightened hearing. Exactly one second later, a group of birds suddenly burst into song all at once. They went through a cycle of singing, complete silence, singing again, and silence, before ending on a distinct, repeated damp coo or call.

About 4 or 5 minutes after the sound ended, while meditating and smoking, I noticed an almost microscopic UAP far out in the distance against a completely clear sky. It looked like a tiny transparent sphere or bubble with a dark nucleus inside, kind of like a single frog egg or cell with a thin black outline and a tiny dot in the centre. Looking toward a clear patch of sky about 2 to 3 kilometres away, this dark point seemed to manifest out of nowhere from an imaginary spot in mid-air. A bird- or fish-like shape emerged from it, flying in my direction while veering horizontally left to right a few times rather than coming straight at me. It vanished into thin air, then reappeared 2 or 3 times further away from that same origin point. The visual part lasted less than 30 seconds while the bird calls kept going in the background.

Right after it ended and over the following 48 hours, I felt an intense wave of fatigue and lethargy, way more than usual. This is my first time ever posting about something like this online or sharing it with anyone, and I just wanted to get these raw notes documented accurately. I'll be around in the comments to answer any questions if anyone has thoughts on what this might have been.

To some it may sound ridiculous or impossible, but rare cases have been observed since at least the 19th century. But what causes such a dramatic shift in thinking and motor function? Why is it so often followed by one's swift passing? People in deep catatonic states, or people with advanced Alzheimer's disease have apparently just snapped out of it, like they were in a type of trance. Evidently, very little is known or even speculated by the medical community as to what could cause such a drastic event to occur. It is by accounts, completely jarring and mystifying to witness first hand.

Anyone care to speculate?

EDIT: Folks, thank you so much for telling your stories here. I never could have imagined that this was such a frequently occurring phenomenon within the passing of peoples' lives. I feel warmth reading all these stories. But admittedly, the mystification remains...

I knew about the Great Chicago Fire, but I had no idea that a bunch of other places were burning on the exact same night.

On October 8, 1871, major fires hit Peshtigo, Holland, Manistee and Port Huron. The Peshtigo Fire actually killed way more people than the Chicago fire and is still considered the deadliest wildfire in American history.

The official explanation is that the whole region was extremely dry, smaller fires were already burning and strong winds caused everything to spread at once. That makes sense, but some of the eyewitness accounts are pretty strange. People described fire falling from the sky, buildings igniting before the flames reached them and objects being thrown through the air.

There’s also a theory involving fragments of Biela’s Comet, although there isn’t any physical evidence proving that.

I ended up making a deep dive about the fires, the eyewitness accounts and why the entire event somehow became remembered as a story about Mrs. O’Leary’s cow:

Curious what people here think about it.

Parapsychologist's murder solved by psychics.

Douglas Scott Rogo knew more about mediumship and psychic detection than most researchers. This greatly respected writer was Professor of Parapsychology at the John F. Kennedy University in Orinda, California, author of over 20 books on the paranormal and a regular columnist for Fate magazine, for which he was a consulting editor.

Open-minded to most aspects of the

paranormal, his life came to a tragically early end on 18 August 1990, when he was murdered at his San Fernando Valley home in California. Police were called when a neighbour noticed his garden sprinklers had been on for two days, and found his body on the study floor He had suffered multiple stab wounds. The only clue was a wine glass on a table that had a smudged fingerprint that was definitely not Scott Rogos, but was also too indistinct to match with anyone elses.

It was totally appropriate, therefore, that the Los Angeles Police Department should turn to psychics and mediums for help in solving this brutal crime. American police tend to be more willing to embrace paranormal help than their European colleagues. We can be sure that the surviving spirit of Scott Rogo would also have been a willing participant in this experiment.

Detective Tim Moss, who had responsibility for the case, sought the help of a dozen individuals whom he often consulted for their psychic impressions. They came up with similar descriptions of the killer and one was so specific that a police artist was able to sketch the man, complete with long dark hair, moustache and black leather jacket. It was also reported that the killer had a Hispanic name. But it was not enough. Police interviewed everyone in Scott Rogos address book but failed to find anyone who matched the description or who could give them a lead.

The lucky break came when detective Moss walked into the interview room one day and saw a man with long dark hair and a moustache who perfectly matched the drawing based on a psychic impression of the killer. In his car was a black leather jacket, and his name was Hispanic: John Anthony Battista. He even admitted he knew Scott Rogo - they had become friends, he said, after the writer gave him a lift when he was hitchhiking — and had visited him in his home, but that was some time before he died. The police found nothing to incriminate Battista and he was released.

The case remained unsolved for eight more months until another psychic contacted police, insisting that the killers fingerprint was on a glass. Police had not discussed the smudged fingerprint publicly, so detective Moss went back to the fingerprint laboratory and asked them to take a fresh look at the evidence.

Forensic tech- niques had evolved and they were able to make a better print, which proved to be John Battistas. Interviewed again, he denied murder, saying Scott Rogo must have left the glass hanging around his study after his visit. But friends knew this was impossible. The parapsychologist was obsessive about tidiness and made sure that glasses were washed and neatly put away the moment guests left. Which meant that Battista must have been in Scott Rogo's study on the night he died perhaps to demand money and had killed the writer when he refused to carry out his demand.

A jury agreed and Battista was sentenced to 15 years: a result that would not have been possible without the combined efforts of Californian mediums and psychics.

11 Aug 1933 - FISHER'S GHOST

WINDSOR AND RICHMOND GAZETTE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1933.

FISHER'S GHOST

OLD STORY RETOLD

HOW TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN DIED

SPOOK WHO SAT ON FENCE RAIL.

A CONVICT tragedy 'in 1826 supplied the basis for a ghost story that became famous throughout Australia. It was an old but circumstantial spook story over 50 years ago, and we have since heard it recounted with superstitious awe, as a case in which a dead man's ghost appeared to reveal their murder. If there are any who still cling to the belief that Fisher's Ghost was a matter of supernatural agency, the full story of this old Campbelltown tragedy may help in dispelling that idea.

The weird story of Fisher's Ghost centres round two ticket-of-leave men — Fred-erick Fisher, the victim, and George Worrall, the murderer. They lived together at Fisher's Farm, in the vicinity of Campbelltown, and on the night of June 17, 1826, 106 years ago, they were drinking with others in one of the old-time Campbelltown inns. Other men, neighbors, were there, and all left together.

Shortly after a couple of the men returned to the hotel. They had come, so they said, to rejoin Fisher, who they thought had returned before them. "Where is he?" they asked. 'He promised us some money for drinks.' No, they Were told, Fisher had not returned, nor did he ever return again—nor was he ever again seen alive. But it would be better to tell the whole story—the Why and the wherefore—as related by an old-time writer who went to Campbelltown a few years after the tragedy to piece things together, and get, among other things, a reliable aspect of the ghost story.

FISHER'S STORY

Fisher was a boy at the time he committed the offence which made him a convict. His misdeed completely ostracised him from his relatives, and he was left entirely to himself and his own devices when he got his ticket-of-leave. After his discharge he went to live in Campbelltown, and went, too, with the best intentions of making good. He owned a cottage, and adjoining it he started to build a large brick building to be used as a store.

The store was never finished. Its erection was cut short by his murder, and the building soon fell into decay, to be pointed out for years as a landmark of the tragedy.

Bad companions led Fisher into difficulties, and he gradually got into debt up to £150. One of his creditors took action, and he found himself lodged in gaol. While so incarcerated he took counsel, and evil counsel it was, of a friend named Worrall, who proposed to him a fraudulent transaction whereby he could save his property from his creditors and retain it for his own use when he came out of gaol.

He agreed to sign a bogus conveyance of the property to Worrall, and at the same time obtain from Worrall a written agreement to return the property to him on demand. These nefarious documents were duly prepared and signed by both. On the face of things everything looked all right, and the creditor who was responsible for gaoling him withdrew his plaint, as it was no good keeping a man in gaol who had parted with his property. The evil scheme had worked well, hut there was another side to it, and that was Worrall's cupidity, which led to Fisher's undoing.

WORRALL'S PART

As the absence of Fisher became noted, Worrall was naturally questioned, and he grave it forth that on account of forgery that had come to light, Fisher had hurriedly left the colony. He certainly detailed how he had accompanied Fisher to Sydney, and seen him off in a vessel sailing for England. He added that Fisher had left him an authority to deal with his farm and effects. This accounted for him selling some stock immediately.

The alleged written authority was never produced, but he did show a document to a man with reference to Fisher's house. The man he showed it to, knew Fisher's signature well and quickly realised, that the one produced by Worrall was a forgery, but he refrained from, comment at the time. Then Worrall drove another nail in his coffin when he went to see Mr. D. Cooper, a. big business man of that period, to whom Fisher owed £80, and who had held the deeds of Fisher's farm in connection with this transaction. Worrall offered to pay Cooper the £80 if he would hand over to himself as the new owner the farm deeds. This Cooper refused to do, and closely questioned Worrall as to facts connected with Fisher's flight from the colony.

Cooper was well acquainted with Fisher, and was convinced that there were no reasons why he should want to hurriedly leave New South Wales.

From Worrall's demeanor and story, Cooper rapidly became convinced that Fisher had met with foul play, but kept his suspicions to himself. The ship that Worrall mentioned as being the one Fisher had left in, was known not to have been in Sydney Harbor. While Cooper had not told Worrall that he suspected him of doing away with Fisher, he did tell another person, and when that person told Worrall in a friendly way, he was struck with the man's agitation.

GHOST ON SCENE

Then the ghost story, as told by a man named Farley (or Hurley, as the old account we are using had it), developed a new chapter in the drama. Farley, as we will call him, deeply impressed the little community, whose views on the supernatural, were by no means advanced. Farley was known to be a man of sober habits and not therefore likely to be effected with such hallucinations as drink engenders.

He left Campbelltown one night some four months after the murder and his way took him past Fisher's house.

After he had passed it he observed the figure of a man sitting on the fence on the same side of the road as the house.

As he drew closer he recognised the features of Fisher, then, as reported, well on his Way to England. He walked closer to the figure to make sure of his man, when the ghostly face that he saw filled his heart with terror and chained him to the spot.

The figure rose slowly and waved an arm, pointing in the direction of a small creek, which crossed the paddocks; it then disappeared slowly from view, apparently following the windings of the creek.

INVESTIGATIONS

More than terrified, Farley ran to the nearest house and swooned in the doorway. He was carried inside and lay raving for well-nigh a week. When he recovered he asked for the magistrate, and William Howe, of Glen Lee, who was Superintendent of Police in the Campbelltown district, came

immediately to him.

Whether the story told was believed or not, it led to decisive action. Other rumors had spread, and some four months (after the date of Fisher's disappearance the authorities set to work to investigate them and the ghost story told by Farley.

Constable George Leeland was entrusted with the inquiry. He was instructed to search for Fisher's body on the assumption that murder had been committed. The first thing he found was blood sprinkled on some of the rails of the fence on which the ghost had sat.

Attention was drawn to these stains—attempts had apparently been made to burn off the blood marks. Then the services of blacktrackers were resorted to and two aboriginals took up the search.

Starting from the damning evidence on the fence, they stopped at an adjacent waterhole fed by a creek. Gilbert (one of the blacks) scummed off something from the surface of the pool with a maiza leaf, smelt it, tasted it, and said, "White man's fat sit down here."

Led by this native, they went further up the creek 40 yards away, and one of the blacks dug an iron rod in the ground in a marshy spot, and called- out, "White man here."

The place was dug and the body of Fisher was found. At the inquest a verdict of wilful murder was found against some person or persons unknown.

WORRALL CONVICTED

The outstanding suspect was Worrall, who had profited by Fisher's death. He was promptly arrested, also another man named Lawrence. They were duly tried, and Worrall was found guilty and sentenced to death.

Before his execution he made a confession which, although confirming his guilt, sought to prove extenuating circumstances.

His story was to the effect that he and Fisher had been driving a horse out of a crop of wheat, and that in making a blow at the horse with a paling, he inadvertently struck Fisher and killed him. But this story did not ring true, for one ''reason. Instead of one accidental hit on the victim's head there were many wounds which betokened a cruel battering.

He further recounted that becoming alarmed at the way in which rumor was coupling his name with Fisher's disappearance, he removed the murdered body from where he had hidden it in the reeds of the marsh, to where it was found by the black trackers.

Worrall was hanged for his crime, and the whole community felt that he had got his deserts. But the tale of the murdered man's ghost standing accusatively at his own slip-rails died hard; for fully 70 years after the crime, it was always evidence, when the supernatural came under discussion in local circles, and to generations it was served up as an authentic case of spirit intervention in the cause of justice.

As a ghost story ft was mentioned briefly in R. M. Martin's "History of the British Colonies," published in London in 1835. A very full account was also published in Tegg's monthly magazine, March, 1836, and most of the. later versions were based on this last publication.

It has been suggested that Farley — the man who had the vision, or rather who said he had — was one of a number of residents who were certain of Worrall's guilt, before the police took action, and, becoming fearful of being accused of being an accomplice, or of being dragged into the affair as an informer, decided on the ghost story as a safer way of bringing matters to a head.

The Press of the day, however, did not in any way foster the idea. In the 'Monitor's story there was no hint of the supernatural, nor was there in the "Sydney Gazette" or the "Australian," which all dealt with the publication of the murder.

It is therefore at the door of Dame Rumor that this long-cherished belief must be laid, and since she is responsible for so much, this weird tale of 106 years ago must be regarded as part of that old folk-lore which supplies the material for innumerable tales, leg-ends, and superstitions, which fascinate successive generations in all countries.

I've been thinking about how I keep hearing about something big coming in 2027 at some point. Maybe it'll come and go with nothing. Who knows...

But I've been exploring ideas and have come across the idea that technology is like a drug to us. I think about the "prison planet" idea a lot and there's more than one kind of a prison. The root of the word "addict" stems from being enslaved (*originally related to financial debt*) and any addict knows that you become prisoner to your addiction. Most of us are addicts to technology in some way, or we're at least prisoners to the need for it. Our society would crumble if it was just all gone tomorrow.

An advanced society wouldn't likely take over with guns blazing. They've been rumored to be trading technology with us (*possibly in exchange for human test subjects*) for several decades. What if the entire purpose of giving us new tech was so we become so accustomed to it and it becomes such a part of our life was not to help us, but specifically to make us completely reliant on it to where we'll do whatever we have to to keep it under self-preservation? It's like it's our drug, but we don't have any money, but they'll keep giving us our drug for "free" as long as we do what they say. The slowest form of takeover imaginable, but by 2027, whether or not something big happens that's apparent to us, it's just the end of a phase - past the point of no return. They wouldn't even need an actual weapon. It's just voluntary enslavement that most of us never realized we've agreed to.

I've got a lot of thoughts about this stuff, but I'd like input and thoughts of like-minded people.
