9. Non-Human Intelligent Beings on this Earth in Past and Present

     In this chapter we will touch on a couple of interesting references to intelligent beings other than humans on this planet Earth. There are many, many intelligent races on this planet, but I have limited myself to only a few with some form of physical evidence. When you start looking into this subject, there is just too much information available, and most of it is in the form of recorded sightings or encounters. I just wanted to give you a quick idea of what is around on this planet. It will also give you the sense that humans are not the only intelligent species, nor are they superior, nor should they look down on other intelligent races. We are just one of many, and we should have respect for all living beings.

     I should also note that intelligent beings who very advanced in comparison with humans, tend to be very reclusive, and it is hard to proof their existence. They are here too, some come from outer space, some reside inside the earth. But they have learned to be stay away from most humans, as humanity has gained the reputation of being very short sighted, primitive in their emotional behavior, limited in their intellectual capacities, and violent and deadly to other species not their own, and even to their own. Over the last century these advanced beings have contacted human beings and invited them into their flying saucers, and have even shown them their underground bases, or they took them into space to show them their civilization on their own planet. If you want to know more about them you can read the books these people have written. A good place to start is Galactic Server .

1. The Neanderthal was an Intelligent Species

     Didn't you learn in school I that Homo Sapiens, evolved from the apes and that the Neanderthal man was its predecessor? Remember those pictures of the Neanderthal as a low intelligent cave man with club in hand? Well, with present-day genetic research, it now is said that man and the Neanderthal have a common ancestor from which they evolved some 200,000 years ago. What the same scientist do know, but hardly ever mention is that the Neanderthal has 48 chromosomes like all the ape species, and man has only 46 chromosomes. A big difference that! How can a species evolve from 48 to 46 chromosomes, but also be very, very different in makeup. Who else has 48 chromosomes: all the apes and hominids. This means that all the pre-humans (hominids) and apes have 48 chromosomes. Only humans have 46 chromosomes. Humans are a very different species. It is more likely that all the apes and hominids are the true evolutionary species of the earth and man, well, yes, somebody in the very distant past tinkered with the genes of one of these apes and created Homo Sapiens. They didn't do a good job either, as Homo Sapiens turned out to be a lot weaker in many aspects than the apes and the hominids, but its DNA has some 5000 errors in its coding, something that the ape species has very few of. Recently (2004) research has shown that the difference between Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens is even greater than previously thought, to that extent that they are now considered as two totally different species. It is also possible that mankind belongs to another evolutionary species that evolved on other planets, and came here in the very distant past.

     Neanderthals, who lived from 500,000 years ago to 30,000 years ago, had bigger cranial capacities which is correlated with higher mental abilities. They had sophisticated stone tools, buried their dead and created art figures. They also had a rudimentary ability to speak (loud and high pitched). In 2003, a face-mask engraved roughly in flint was excavated from a Neanderthal stratum. A Neanderthal flute carved from the thighbone of a cave bear has the seven-note system of western music. Jewelry has also been excavated in Neanderthal caves, signifying a desire for art that was wearable. The most important piece of Neanderthal art is a cave painting found far underground. This painting is a wonderful proof of beautiful and meaningful Neanderthal art. The face-mask , flute and cave painting prove that Neanderthal man definitely had artistic ability, which is a main part of culture.

     This picture shows that Neanderthals were an intelligent non-humans species. Although human looking, they were very different in the structure of their bodies because they are from the 48 chromosome ape tree like all the other hominids. There were many hominid species on this planet, which actually are evolving apes. Some became intelligent, others died out too soon. Mankind, or Homo Sapiens, is an anomaly on this planet because of the chromosome difference. Why is Homo Sapiens still around, while for example, the Neanderthals who also were intelligent and survived an ice age, died out? The Neanderthals, like all the other hominids, were built like the ape species, strong and robust, and equipped to survive. The reason probably lies in the fact that Homo Sapiens, although a much weaker species, was more aggressive.

     They probably killed off all the Hominids. Look at the last couple of thousand years: mankind has continuously waged war, and killed his own species by the millions. Wars and killing are still continuing in these "modern" times.

2. Bigfoot

     Are all the hominids, the evolved ape species really extinct? If Homo Sapiens hunted the intelligent ape species, it would be natural that they retreated to those places inaccessible to humans: the dense forests. The apes, both the animals and the intelligent species, all have very strong bones and muscles, and are well equipped for survival. What reports do we have of accidental encounters at the edges of those dense forests all over the world: snowman, yetis, Bigfoot and by whatever names they go by.

    That is, strong muscular, large and small in height, hair covered bipedal ape-like humanoids. There are too many stories of these encounters, and too many footprints to dismiss these creatures as fantasy. In 2005 some alleged hair from a Bigfoot was analyzed by University of Alberta wildlife geneticist David Coltman, whose conclusion it was that the hair did not come from any known animal. From what we know, they are definitely ape-like creatures who make high pitched sounds, but do not have a real language; they live in small families, and they shun humans. They are most likely another intelligent ape like species, maybe more than one variety, that is still around on this planet.

     The American native Indians had many stories of Bigfoot encounters. they report that Bigfoot was very strong, had a strong smell/stench. Sometimes Bigfoot kidnapped young women. In some instances these women returned years later and carried the typical smell of Bigfoot. The Indians believed that Bigfoot could hypnotize man and animal.

    Bigfoot seems to have strong mental abilities. In some stories people were paralyzed (unable to move), saw him disappear into thin air, or were unable to see him although he was nearby. There are some contemporary white Americans who claim to have contact with Bigfoot and who say that Bigfoot is strongly telepathic, and has other psychic abilities. Check out http://www.joanocean.com/sasquatch.html .

    

 

     A very interesting book is The Psychic Sasquatch by Jack Lapseritis. He himself had many Bigfoot encounters and communications, but he also visited people who had Bigfoot contacts. From his own experiences and those of other people, he cam to the conclusion that Bigfoot is very much a human-like species. Although physically having characteristics of the gorilla type, Bigfoot has a human-like face, hands and feet, and long hair (no fur like animals). They are very kind and loving and never harm humans, although they can be quite intimidating, especially when they don't want people to trespass their territory. They have families, are of different types, and seem to move around, although they usually have a 'base camp' in a difficult to access area. Most Bigfoot do not like humans, and will not make contact, but some individual Bigfoot are actively engaged in contact with certain humans, and also communicate with them in a telepathic way. They don't seem to have any belongings, and are very nature connected. They have the ability to become invisible. This has been observed many times, but it is not quite understood how this functions. Bigfoot can be invisible but still move brushes and make sounds. He can disappear slowly into thin air, while standing, or while walking. He can project and make visible his astral body in front of a witness, even inside their homes. He has been seen many times in connection with ufos and aliens. Flying saucers have released Bigfoot after landing, and have picked them up too. Alien being have been seen with him, or in the same environment. Some people say Bigfoot is extraterrestrial of origin.

 

     There are some very interesting stories about Bigfoot. The following stories are very intriguing as it involves offspring of Bigfoot with humans!

    "Informants: Francis, an Indian woman, age 60 and niece to Patrick, described later, and her mother, Laura, age 85, are members of the Lake Band. Francis pronounces "Skanicum" as if clearing her throat with a mouth full of saliva. This interview with Francis on September 17, 1985, was followed by another with her mother, Laura, at her separate residence at Nespelem. Laura (deceased in 1987) verified everything as reported by Francis, adding many details. Laura relates that as a child she had a much greater interest in things, especially Skanicum, than other Indian women whom she knew. She would ask questions of her Grandfather and Grandmother who explained things to her and passed on many stories. As a child, from about the age of six, she would sleep outside and spend considerable time in the mountains alone, could identify and understood the many sounds that she heard, like the "iiieee" cry of Skanicum.

    Back around the turn of the century (1885-1900) the Indians set up a fishing camp near Keller on the San Poll River ("D" on map, p26). In the evening the men would return, tired and hungry, to camp with their days catch. The women would work all evening processing the fish and putting it on drying racks to dry. While cooking dinner one of the women, a recent bride through bride-purchase, took a kettle and went off after water. Minutes later she was heard screaming. The men rushed to the scene but could only stand and watch as Skanicum carried her off. They knew that Skanicum was very vengeful and if harmed the captive may be injured and the mountains would not be safe for any Indian. As she was carried away, the captive tore off and dropped pieces of her white slip leaving a trail for the men to follow. She was with Skanicum all summer, or at least a couple of months, when the men searching for her on horseback saw her gathering wild potato roots.

     Skanicum was asleep nearby. Upon seeing the men she emptied her lap of the potatoes, crept quietly to them, leaped on one of the horses behind it's rider, and thus escaped. Upon return to camp all of the Indians immediately broke camp and hastily departed the area. During her stay with Skanicum the woman had gathered roots, etc., which they shared. Skanicum eats anything that other people eat but lives primarily on roots such as that of the thule (tooly) or cattail plant, which they gather, dry, and store in caves. They build fires with flint stone and steal hides from Indians, which they use for bedding and to cover the entrance to their cave.

     During her stay with Skanicum the woman became pregnant and bore a son named Patrick, who grew up on the reservation. Patrick's body structure was very different from that of other Indians as his arms were very long, reaching about to his knees. He was very short, about 5'4" tall (his mother was described as "tiny"), possessed a sloping forehead, very large lower jaw, a very large wide mouth with straight upper and lower lips, and straight protruding teeth. He was kind of stooped, or hump-backed. His ears were elongated upwards (peaked) and bent outward at the top. He had very large hands and long fingers, is described as very ugly although extremely intelligent. He attended school on the reservation, was "very smart", operated a ranch in the area, died at about the age of 30, and is buried on the reservation. Patrick is described as a "gentle" man, never beat or mistreated his wife. He married easily as he had a good ranch and was considered "affluent". From this marriage to Laura's cousin was born three daughters and two sons. Both sons died at an early age. The three daughters were named, in order from oldest to youngest, Mary Louise, now about 65 years old, Madeline, and Stella. Stella died at a young age. Mary Louise lives near Omak. A couple of summers ago Mary Louise spent several weeks with Laura. Mary had heard several times over the years that her paternal grandfather was a Skanicum and sought verification from Laura. Laura revealed all to her, confirming that her father was indeed half Skanicum. Mary Louise' physical appearance is relatively "normal". However, both girls have wide mouths (look like split from ear to ear), protruding teeth, and squint eyes. But Madeline, who lives on the Washington coast, has other very distinct Skanicum features such as sloping forehead, long peaked ears, etc. She is considered ugly by Indian standards, is an alcoholic spending much time in taverns. Patrick's wife, mother of these girls, is Laura's first cousin.

     Francis met Patrick when she was a young girl about eight years old. She reports another incident in about 1982 when she and her niece were returning to Nespelem from Omak just after dark. About two miles from Omak near a gravel pit they passed a Skanicum standing alongside the road.

     About a year later Francis and Laura were returning home when they stopped up on Keller Butte to eat chicken that they had brought back with them. They heard Skanicum scream only a short distance away. So close in fact that they quickly left the area. There is a cave near Kartar on the reservation where Skanicum is known to live.

     Laura reports that some years ago she shot a deer not far from Nespelem. Being alone at the time and unable to load it into her car, she returned the next morning with her grandson. Several Skanicum were on the scene. One, a female, was standing just alongside the road and never moved as Laura drove by her, getting a good look at her. She looked human, was about six feet tall, her body covered with long brown hair, had a sloping forehead with ears that appeared to be pulled upward. Arriving at the deer carcass they found that the liver had been removed, as had the tender parts of both rear flanks. The skin had been carefully rolled from the hindquarters; the meat was very clean (she reiterates and emphasizes how clean the meat was). She and her grandson left the carcass as they found it and left the area. Laura states that there are areas just south of Nespelem and about two miles north of the Columbia River where she can call Skanicum (in his language, she knows how) and he will answer. She believes that they live in the area. At one time she encountered a large male Skanicum on the highway near Nespelem. It tried to converse with her, making organized sounds, leaving her to believe that they have a language. She left quickly.

     Louie, a 79 year old male member of the Columbia-Moses Band, knew Patrick all of his life and remembers him and his family well. He worked for Patrick on his ranch around 1925-1930, describes him as a "pinhead" about 5' 4" tall, with larger than normal ears, mouth, teeth, and with large hands he was a very good card player who seemed to instinctively know what everyone else was holding." (from http://www.bigfootencounters.com/biology/fusch.htm ).

     Another story is from a captured Bigfoot in Asia in the 19th century: " In Abkhazia, Western Caucasus, relict hominoids (snowmen) are called abnauyu. While collecting reports in 1962, a colleague of Prof. Boris Porshnev, zoologist Prof. Alexander Mashkovtsev, heard and studied the story of Zana. Subsequently, Porshnev took over where his late companion left off. The following information is borrowed from Porshnev's work The Struggle for Troglodytes.

     Zana was a female abnauyu who had been caught and tamed and who lived and died within the memory of a number of people still alive at the time of the research. She was buried near the village of Tkhina in the Ochamchiri District of Abkhazia in the 1880s or 1890s.
     The manner of her capture is vague. Pro­bably she had already changed hands by sale when she became the property of the ruling prince D.M.Achba who was the titular head of the Zaadan region. She passed into the possession of one of his vassals, named Chelokua and still later she was presented to a nobleman, Edgi Genaba, who visited the region. He took her away, still shackled and chained, to his estate in the village of Tkhina on the Mokva River, 78 kilometres from Sukhumi, the capital of Abkhazia.

     At first Genaba lodged her in a very strong enclosure and nobody ventured in to give her food, for she acted like a wild beast. It was thrown to her. She dug herself a hole in the ground and slept in it and for the first three years she lived in this wild state, gradually becoming tamer. After three years she was moved to a wattle-fence enclosure under an awning near the house, tethered at first, but later she was let loose to wander about. However she never went far from the place where she received her food. She could not endure warm rooms and the year round, in any weather, slept outdoors in a hole that she made herself under the awning.

     Villagers teased her with sticks thrust through the wattle-fence, and she would snatch them with fury, bare her teeth and howl.

     Her skin was black, or dark grey, and her whole body covered with reddish-black hair. The hair on her head was tousled and thick, hanging mane-like down her back.

     She could not speak, over decades that she lived with people, Zana did not learn a single Abkhaz word; she only made inarticulate sounds and mutterings, and cries when irritated. But she reacted to her name, carried out commands given by her master and was scared when he shouted at her. And this despite the fact that she was very tall, massive and broad, with huge breasts and buttocks, muscular arms and legs, and fingers that were longer and thicker than human fingers. She could splay her toes widely and move apart the big toe.

     From remembered descriptions given to Mashkovtsev and Porshnev, her face was terrifying; broad, with high cheekbones, flat nose, turned out nostrils, muzzle-like jaws, wide mouth with large teeth, low forehead, and eyes of a reddish tinge. But the most frightening feature was her expression which was purely animal, not human. Sometimes, she would give a spontaneous laugh, bar­ing those big white teeth of hers. The latter were so strong that she easily cracked the hardest walnuts.

     She lived for many years without showing any change: no grey hair, no falling teeth, keeping strong and fit as ever. Her athletic power was enormous. She would outrun a horse, and swim across the wild Mokva River even when it rose in violent high tide. Seemingly without effort she lifted with one hand an eighty-kilo sack of flour and carried it uphill from the water-mill to the village. She climbed trees to get fruit, and to gorge herself with grapes she would pull down a whole vine growing around the tree. She ate whatever was offered to her, including hominy and meat, with bare hands and enormous gluttony. She loved wine, and was allowed her fill, after which she would sleep for hours in a swoon-like state.

     She liked to lie in a cool pool side by side with buffalos. At night she used to roam the surrounding hills. She wielded big sticks against dogs and on other perilous occasions. She had a curious obsession for playing with stones, knocking one against another and splitting them.

     She took swims the year round, and preferred to walk naked even in winter, tearing dresses that she was given into shreds. However, she showed more tolerance toward a loin-cloth. Sometimes she went into the house, but the women were afraid of her and came near only when she was in a gentle mood; when angry she presented a scary sight and could even bite. But she obeyed her master, Edgi Genaba, and he knew how to bring her to heel. Adults used her as a bogy figure with children, although Zana never actually attacked children.

     She was trained to perform simple domestic tasks, such as grinding grain for flour, bringing home firewood and water, or sacks to and from the water-mill, or pull her master's high boots off.
     But she became the mother of human children, and this is the wonderous side of her life story, very important for the science of genetics. Zana was pregnant several times by various men, and, giving birth without assistance, she always washed the newborn child in the cold water-spring. The half-breed infants, unable to survive these ablutions, died.

     So, when subsequently Zana gave birth, the villagers began taking the newborn babies away from her in good time, and reared them themselves. Four times this happened, and the children, two sons and two daughters, grew up as humans, fully-fledged and normal men and women who could talk and possessed reason. It is true that they had some strange physical and mental features, but nonetheless they were fully capable of engaging in work and social life.

     One of her sons Khwit died in 1954. There were rumours that his father was in fact Edgi Genaba himself, but in the census he was put down under a family-name of Sabekia. It is significant that Zana was buried in the family cemetery of the Genabas, and that the two youngest children of Zana were brought up by Genaba's wife.

     Khwit was powerfully built, had dark skin, but he inherited scarcely anything from Zana's facial appearance. The complex of human features, inherited from his father, was dominant in them and overruled the mother's line of descent. Khwit, who died at the age of 65 or 70, was described by his fellow-villagers as little different from the human norm, except for certain small divergences. He was extremely strong, difficult to deal with and quick to pick a fight. In fact, he lost his right hand after one of the many fights he had with his fellow-villagers, but his left hand sufficed him to mow and do other work on a collective farm, and even climb trees. When old, he moved to the town of Tkvarcheli where he eventually died, but he was taken back for burial at Tkhina.
     The next stage of the Zana case was taken up by attempts to find her grave and skeleton. As the graveyard had been unused for a long time, Zana's skelton was not found, but they did exhume the skull of Khwit, Zana's younger son, whose grave was still well indicated. The skull was brought to Moscow where it was studied by two physical anthropologists. They stated that the skull exhibits an original combination of modern and ancient features ... The facial section of the skull is significantly larger in comparison with the mean Abkhaz type ... All the measurements and indices of the superciliary cranial contour are greater not only than those of the mean Abkhaz series, but also than those of the maximum size of some fossil skulls studied (or rather were compara­ble with the latter). The Tkhina skull approaches closest the Neolithic Vovnigi II skulls of the fossil series. " (from http://www.hominology.narod.ru/zanai.htm )

Here is another interesting story about Bigfoot I found at http://www.mysterious-america.net/hansenint.html :

An Interview with Khat Hansen

Choctaw Medicine woman reveals details of Bigfoot encounters

By Brent Raynes

Kath Hansen explains that she is a Choctaw medicine woman, a "Soul Eater" (a type of empathic healer) whose training as a medicine person began back at the age of three. Since age five, she has encountered various spirit beings. One of these (the main subject of this interview) is known by her people as Ste’ye’mah (what we call Bigfoot).

Editor: To begin with, how do you wish to be identified?

Khat Hansen: My name is Khat Hansen. I am an American Choctaw Indian Medicine woman and Soul eater (it is a type of empathic healer). I have retired from the archeology field and now live quietly in the Nevada mountain range.

Editor: You have written in a blog that you've been interacting with Ki'ho'sa since age five. You explained that Ki'ho'sa means Bigfoot. You state that he's neither animal or human, and can do very incredible, if not downright supernatural sounding things. Is Ki'ho'sa a Native American term?

Khat Hansen: Yes, it is Choctaw. That is not exactly correct. Ki'ho'sa means "to forget (me)" in Choctaw. It is the name he has named himself. I have only given him this name as he gave it to me when I was 5yrs. old. He said that is what I was to call him. He is neither animal or human. He is Ste'ye'mah or Bigfoot. I do not call them sasquatch as that is a made up Indian word. It is a conglomeration of words to create one word. Ki'ho'sa calls his kind "my people" or "such as we". He has never used anything else. The Bigfoot are capable of doing many things that you or I cannot do but at the same time we are capable of doing things they cannot do. It is a balance between us in a way. They do not choose to know our way of living. For example, they do not cook or read, but they are capable of drawing and like music. They do not play music but will play with the instruments per se. They do however mimic bird whistles and song and have used them many times as a form of entertainment. I have had them steal mouth harps and slide whistles but have never heard them play them. I think they took them because they saw us playing them and were curious as to how they work. If I am playing the guitar or sitar they will come down and sit quietly in the bushes or around the area. When they are done they will leave the area and that is all I ever know. They do not tell me if they like it or experience joy or sadness. I do know that they experience anger and rage. They can also forgive, these are the emotions that I have first hand knowledge of with Ki'ho'sa and his kind.

Editor: Does being Native American open you up more to such experiences, do you think?

Khat Hansen: Maybe, maybe not. What I think opens me up to such experiences is the fact that I have been taught to respect and believe in all forms of life. I was taught that I must accept what I am being told and shown by legends and elders and other people what is true. To accept with my heart and mind that what I am being allowed to experience is a gift. I was told at an early age that not everyone can see the Bigfoot. THEY choose who will see them and what capacity it will be. For Ki'ho'sa to have chosen me was a very sacred gift to myself and my people. For him to interact with me over the years has been an even more invaluable gift. He has taught me much about myself and acceptance of things that I do not understand or comprehend.

Editor: Please tell us what you can about Ki'ho'sa and what your own first-hand experiences with him have conveyed to you about what sort of creature he is.

Khat Hansen: Ki'ho'sa is a spirit being who can assume a flesh and blood body. Which simply means: He is a being/creature that has access to this world. He comes and goes of his pleasing. This is why sometimes people say they have found footprints coming from UNDER a small rock and disappearing into a small scrub bush with nothing surrounding it or just stopping in dirt and not continuing anywhere. He can shift and leave this realm/world when he wants. He is not limited to being here as are we. He has different gifts that he uses. That we humans have not learned or been given.

For instance, Ki'ho'sa can mindspeak to people. It is a very unusual gift that took me a long time to get used to. By this I mean he can put pictures into your head and a fleeting voice that is almost like an echo. He uses this to communicate and get his meaning across to me. It is almost like flashcards strung together to create a meaning. When he does this though, it causes me terrible pain in the form of migraine type headaches and nosebleeds that sometimes last for days.

They also are able to cause humans and animals to feel certain feelings. It took me a long time to understand what this process is and a name for it. It is called infrasound or thought blasting. They use it to cause fear, terror, panic, peace, confusion or calm. It is a mind weapon of sorts. They use this when they are feeling threatened by humans to make us leave their area. In this way they will not have to physically attack us although if it did not work they would then resort to leading the person away or chasing them away. If that did not work they would attack. They are capable of anger and evil if they choose. They are not the creatures in Harry and the Hendersons. They are very intelligent and cunning. This is not a human being. Nor is it an animal. It is Ste'ye'mah or Bigfoot.

Bigfoots do not age as humans do. I always say that he is about 175 years old according to my understanding of their aging process. They age much slower than humans. It has something to do with their metabolism being different. This is also why when people have shot at them or hit them with vehicles it does not appear to hurt them. It really does hurt them, but it may take weeks or months for the wounds to manifest. This is why people have seen them just walk away from woundings without marks or blood on them. This is also why certain Bigfoot are seen over and over again for long periods like the yellowtop Bigfoot. He has been in that territory for almost a century... he does not age like us so it is a short period of time to him.

They have many different gifts such as great speed..fast as a car when they choose. The ability to become invisible (which has been explained to me as "wrapping the light around themselves"). I have pictures of this on my website. Great inhuman strength. And the ability to camouflage themselves into different forms, i.e.: stumps or trees that people do not realize are Bigfoot until they actually see it walk away or go right up to it and realize it is a Bigfoot.

Bigfoot are keepers and trackers of time here on this earth. They are waiting for man to finish his time here. Then they will resume the keeping of the earth. They will begin again and help it to heal and overcome what damages we humans have done.

They do not hold anger against us for doing the things that we have done to this planet. They just understand that it is our nature to do the things that we do. When their time comes they will again help the earth and humans and animals to balance and accept each other. For now they are here, watching and waiting.

Editor: Could you tell a little more about your background?

Khat Hansen: I am a trained archeologist that worked in South and Central America for over 20 years. My field of expertise is Pre-Columbian Civilizations.

Editor: I understand that your first Bigfoot encounter was in Oregon, by the way?

Khat Hansen: Yes, this is where I first met Ki'ho'sa. When I was 5 years old we were deer hunting and the adults had left me in camp by myself. This was a different time back then when children were safe and able to be left alone. I was playing around the camp area with my Barbie dolls (I had brought two with me) when I heard a crying sound. I listened and kept hearing it. I thought another child was left alone in their camp and was lonely. I looked for the sound and found it a ways into the forest. I came up to a fallen cedar tree and there sitting on the ground next to it was a hairy child about as tall as myself. It was crying and rocking back and forth. I just thought it was an ugly child. Maybe it lived in the woods and that is why it was so dirty? Anyway when it realized I was there it stopped crying and just stared at me. I sat down across from it and took my Barbie dolls out of my overall pockets and began to play with them while talking to the hairy child. I was asking it all sorts of questions and it finally got up and walked over to me. I offered it a Barbie and it chose the blonde one and we sat there looking at them and playing with them. Awhile later the hairy child stood up and began to whine and kind of bounce up and down and seemed to be really excited about something. As I stood up all of sudden there was this great big WHUMP! and there landed right in front of me the biggest, hairiest, ugliest thing I had ever seen. It was a male Bigfoot and it was growling this bone jarring growl and grabbing the hairy kid. I kind of screamed and peed my pants and backed away all at the same time. He pushed the hairy child back away from me and put himself between us and just looked at me. I started to scream really loud and turned and ran back to the camp. I hid in the tent the whole time until the adults came back. I told my dad what had happened and he went with me to see the area and the Bigfoot. All he found were tracks. I was very upset because the hairy child had taken my blonde Barbie doll when it left and my dad refused to buy me another one because they were 5.00 dollars.

After camping for two more days we went home which was about 60 miles away. After being home for two days I went down into the canyon below our home to play in my fort and found the Barbie doll sitting on the floor of it. As I was sitting there Ki'ho'sa came out from behind a tree and sent me the thought 'grateful' for taking care of his little one.

I was terrified of him, but he did not come close. He only sent me quiet feelings. I found out later it was a boy Bigfoot.

 

3. Non-Human Skulls

     The Starchild skull has become a well studied object. Lloyd Pye, the present owner of the skull has it scientifically analyzed by qualified professionals. The skull was found in a cave in Mexico in the 1930's. The Starchild skull (left in the picture) is a very intriguing skull because it is significant different from a human skull (right in the picture). Visit his website at http://www.starchildproject.com/ . Artistic interpretation shows that the being looks similar to what a classic Grey looks like, maybe it is a hybrid between a Grey and a human.

4. Elongated Skull Beings

     These skulls have been found around the world. They are from human-like beings but with a different size of skull. Cranial deformation is a myth invented by scientists. Scientists often explain these skulls as the result of binding the baby's head to a board to get a more pointed skull. However they fail to notice that the volume of these skulls is much larger than a human skull. Deforming a skull does not increase its volume. The cranial capacity of a human is between cranial capacity at 2200 ccm, but the value can be as high as 2500 ccm. The The estimated cranial capacity of the elongated skulls ranges between 2600 ccm to 3200 ccm. Unfortunately nobody has done a scientific research into these skulls. The skulls are displayed in various museums.

Elongated skulls in Peru :  

Museo Inca de la Universidad del Cusco, Peru:

Ica Museum, near Nazca, Peru:

Elongated Skulls in Bolivia:

Tiwanaco, La Paz, Bolivia:

In the 2010 Klaus Dona interview by Bill Ryan (from Project Camelot), which you can find on YouTube, Klaus Dona is showing a find nearby the ancient site of Puma Punku (which is near Tiwanaku, Bolivia). The skeleton was 2.6m long (8.5 feet). The skull is elongated and, as Klaus points out, this skull does not have the sagittal suture that humans have. This is a remarkable difference, making this being definitely not Homo Sapiens. Here are the slides from the video:

This is a human skull which has the sagittal suture running from the top of the head towards the back:

Elongated skulls in Egypt:

To the left is a sculpture of an ancient Egyptian princess. Doesn't this look very similar to this Peruvian skull:

     Who else in ancient Egypt has similar skulls: pharaoh Akhenaton and his wife Nefertiti, the only Egyptian rulers who changed the ancient ancient worship of many gods into the worship of the one and only god Aton, the Sun god. Many scholars would interpret this as the solar disk, that is the sun in our solar system. I think one should see this as the Central Sun of which many esoteric groups talk, and what is also experienced by advanced meditators. The Central Sun is the first manifestation of the Divine visually experienced as glowing, fiery, light sphere. It is  universal experience independent of cultural background. It is said that Akhenton had a vision of this solar light sphere.

     The other change in Egyptian culture he initiated was that that the pharaoh and his wife were depicted realistically. Up to then pharaohs were only depicted in an idealistic way. So we know how Akhenaton and Nefertiti really looked like, and they were both different from the normal people. They were tall slender, had a long neck and elongated head. Nefertiti was said to be extremely beautiful.

Here is a statue of Nefertiti when she was older. You can clearly see her elongated skull:

     The following are the children of Akhenaton and Nefertiti. We know that these busts represents their daughters, but we don't know which bust is which daughter. They are designated as the Amarna princesses (Amarna is the city built by Akhneaton).

     Here is Princess Meritaten, daughter of Akhneaton and Nefertiti, who married king Smenkhkare. Notice that Meritaten is depicted with elongated head and Smenkhkare with normal human head:

     So how do we interpret all this. The classic explanations of skull deformities and binding the head to a plank, do not hold up. They even tried to explain that Akhenaton had a certain disease, while at the same time not mentioning that his wife and children also had the same features. It is obvious that the entire family had different bodily structures, larger skulls, and were beautiful beings. With the Peruvian skulls we don't have much to go on, but I assume these beings were similar to Akhenaton's family, and were also in the ruling class. The question is where did they come from and why do we find them on two continents? If they were a different human race, they would be found among the general population. Having a different skull doesn't make you a ruler. I think they are a different human species, genetically different than Homo Sapiens, but still very close to it, that evolved on other planets. Yes, more advanced humanoid beings, who, from time to time, come to Earth, to rule and uplift humanity.

 

Elongated skulls in in Russia:

     Then there is the following story about elongated skulls found nearby the city of Omsk in Siberia in the 1990's!

     Russian archeologists in the Siberian city of Omsk have found unusual elongated human skulls found in nearby forest, in burial mounts. The archeological team have begun studying bizarre, elongated human skulls found in a nearby forest almost ten years ago. Scholars at the Omsk Museum of History and Culture have no conclusive answer as to the origins of these skulls, which were found in burial mounds that are believed to date from the 4th century A.D. Because of the skulls' bizarre shape they do not show them to the public, fearing that people might be too shocked.
Here are the pictures of the Omsk skulls:

 

 

and yes, more:

In Pyatigorsk, Russia (South-West Russia, between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea), more elongated skulls. The Pyatigorsk museum of regional studies has them on display.

“The Pyatigorsk skull was found at the excavation site of the Khasaot burial ground in the vicinity of Kislovodsk,” says Doctor of Historical Sciences Vladimir Kuznetsov, the author of numerous studies of history of the North Caucasus. “The skull is part of culture of the ancient Alani. Approximately, it dates back to the 3rd - 5th centuries A.D. These strange skulls appeared at the same time when the Sarmatian and Alani hordes came around. Some of the nomads moved for the North Caucasus in 15th century.”

 

Elongated skulls in Europe:

     I remember that in the Museum Ten Duinen, in Koksijde, Belgium, they has trepanned skulls and one elongated skull on display a couple of decades ago. These were found during an archeological dig inside a medieval  monastery!

     Here is a picture I found on Flickr.com with the title: "elongated skull and grave artifacts of 6th century Frankish woman", but no further information. It looks like it was taken in a museum :

 

 

     I also found the following painting of an extraterrestrial.

     The painting is called Longheads, and it is painted by clairvoyant Elaine Thompson. It is on her website http://www.elaine-thompson.com/ ; click on Guides and Angels link. It appears together with other paintings of the ETs she had contact with.

     Compare it with this Ica skull:

5. Small Beings

     The following stories are very unusual but well documented. In the past such discoveries would not see any publicity, because of the fear a lot of people have for such unusual beings, and there wasn't a means to bring it to a wider attention. Nowadays, with the internet, a unique, no matter how bizarre, event can be photographed, even filmed and put on the internet in a relative short amount of time,  for everyone to watch. By themselves, each story comes and goes, and often contains strange things that one would dismiss. But when you put all these stories together, it becomes clear that other life-forms are not always what we expect them to be. They sometimes show characteristics that are incomprehensible to us, or so totally out of what we consider "normal".

     Many people have seen strange creatures, small and tall, all over the world. Usually they are once in a life time encounters, but sometimes not. The following are a couple of unique cases that can give you an idea of what is amongst us.

    The following I found on a Spanish website Anomalia.com .

Armando Henríquez Carreño, a 15 old boy was visiting relatives in the Octava area, in Chile, and found a small being of about 7.2 centimeters longs. Running around outside they found a small creatures near the road, in the grass. It was so unusual that they decided to wrap it in paper and bring it home. Having arrived at home, the creature started to bleed, and the boy not sure that he had cause this, didn't say anything to his parents. After a couple of days (about eight), the creature died. The boy returned to his  home in Santiago, and then a journalist heard about it and printed a news story. There has been a discussion going on about what it could be.

     For a slideshow of more and bigger pictures go to here.

     The remains of a similar creature was found in a former garbage dump in the village La Noria Pozo in Almonte, 100 kilometers of Iquique. It was wrapped in cloth with a red ribbon. It is a creature of approximately 15 cm. in length, with sharpened teeth and one strange protuberance in the skull, besides owning 9 ribs. Ufologists could not agree what it was, and while some think that it can be a human fetus, others discard this option because the skull does not present or display fontanelas. For Mario Pizarro, representative of Aion, is taken precaution to avoid that the evidence is lost and he considers that the skeleton of the Chain dump has nothing has to do with a fetus of our species.

     Here are some pictures of the find:

     It is interesting to note that small beings are known in the Peruvian folklore. Raul Núñez, who runs the website Inexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic Ufology explains: "In Chile, according to residents of the communities of Chusmiza, Poroma and several places within the nation’s 1st region, the existence of a race of diminutive bipeds has been known and discussed in hushed tones for generations. These entities measure some15 to 17 centimeters tall and are the inhabitants of an underground realm that exists beneath the sands of the Atacama Desert. They are known to local elders as “the gentiles”

     "According to the Aymara Culture, anything that comes from the sky is divine and anything that comes from below is evil. This belief has prompted people from the country’s interior to avoid contact with these diminutive beings, of which they have often been wary. It is said that throughout the ages, locals have run into these “gentiles” particularly on nights of full moon, as these underground residents cannot withstand sunlight, which causes their death. Their large almond-shaped eyes are only suited for night vision.

     "Based on comments made by local elders, these diminutive beings were in contact with the ancient Incas and informed them of places where gold seams could be found, and this was the secret that allowed that lost empire to manage such huge quantities of the precious metal. The elders also recall that when trouble arose among the peasants, the “gentiles” would punish planters by harming their crops from below, leaving them desiccated from one day to another. It is not unusual to come across very elderly people in regions bordering Bolivia who are still afraid of these “gentiles” – moreover, long-time residents of the locality of Poroma claimed knowledge of an old mudstone citadel somewhere in the hills, far from the town, which had been abandoned for a very long time but in a perfect state of conservation, attributed to the diminutive “gentiles”."

---

     To my surprise I found another story of a strange being found in Kishtim Russia that looks very similar to the Chilean being just mentioned. It was investigated by Ren-TV (REN TV is one of the largest private federal channels in Russia). I got the still images of the video that was posted on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA01h0BWB9g ). The documentary is about 50 minutes long. Although completely in Russian, it is said that the being was found alive in the woods by a mentally ill woman (in 1996) who fed it milk and candies. She named him Alyosha, after her late grandson, and treated it with candies and milk. But when that woman was taken to mental hospital, the creature died. The old woman's daughter-in-law and several neighbors saw the creature alive.

     That a creature like this is found in two totally opposite places on the world makes one wonder where they came from.

     Here are some pictures from the video:

     The story appeared in many newspapers:

The creature front and back; and as you can see it is a small being about 7 - 8 inches long:

Not only has it the same size as the La Noria Pozo creature we showed in the above, but its skeleton and especially the skull is exactly the same.

A couple of other nice shots:

The investigators made some drawings, based on the skeletons and the eye-witnesses who saw the being when it was still alive:

     The following being, approximately 70 cm tall, is from a repeated encounter between a humanoid being and a 23 years old Italian from Pretare d'Arquata, who took a series of 6 Polaroid pictures of the being. In some of the pictures you see that being has some kind of tubes on its thorax.

     The series of 5 encounters starts in Pretare d'Arquata, a small sector in the province of Ascoli Piceno, at the top of the Monte Vettore, a few kilometres after one leaves the road to Salaria. They show, in sequence, a being in a various positions, seated, nearly erected, in seemingly painful physical conditions although this may be only an anthropomorphic impression. The being seems to have small dimensions, rather sturdy, with the skin that in some instantaneous ones appears burnished and thick and in last photograph, completely red, moistened, with the aspect of a badly wounded skin. The photos were published in the weekly magazine "Visto" n. 43 on 28 October 1993, and then produced on TV during the program "I Fatti Vostri" ("Your facts") on Friday, November 5, 1993, hosted by Giancarlo Magalli.

     The full account can be read at ufocasebook.com .

The following are pictures taken by different people, showing alien beings. I know, it is always possible that they are fake, but at least they are worth showing. After all it is also possible they are true.

Here are some pictures people send to Mexican UFO investigator Jaime Maussan. They were all taken by ordinary Mexican people, who did not seek publicity. usually they don't see the creatures until the pictures are downloaded and brightened to get a clearer view.

Picture taken by a person who checking his camera while on a cemetery:

 

Picture taken by a 14 year old girl at home:

Picture taken of man with car, and brightened:

Some creatures caught with infrared light, behind a fence. In one frame of video one of the creatures is shielding itself from the infrared spotlight, showing that these creatures can see in the infrared range!

A creature in field surprised by a picture taken with a flash. The photo has been brightened for clarity. The second picture shows the creature, really small, running away.

Another alien photographed by a friend of a friend of Dennis Whitney (Australia), who has a blog at http://denniswhitneyufo.blogspot.com/ . His blog dates from November 6, 2009. The person who took the photo is said to be in contact with ET's.  The picture was taken in Queensland, Australia.

 

6. Pedro

     Pedro, the Mountain Mummy is a unique case. I present it here as a nice example of the existence of little human-like beings that have been or are still living on or in this planet. There are many stories of small beings who at one time went underground (literally) because they were abused by people. They took refuge in underground tunnels and cities.

     In 1932 two men, Cecil Main and Frank Carr, spent a few weeks digging for gold in the San Pedro Mountains of Wyoming. After working a rich vein which seemed to keep continuing into the rock, they decided to use dynamite to blast a huge section of the mountainside off and save some time getting at more of the gold. After the dust from the blast cleared, they found that the rock face they had been chipping into led to a small cavern about 15 feet long and 4 feet high (4.5m x 1.2m). It had been totally sealed off from the outside world by a thick wall of rock, with no visible entrance or even small crack leading into it. Inside this cavern was a small ledge on which a pixie-like creature sat, cross-legged. It turned out to be a tiny mummy about 7 " high (18 cm) with a total height of 14" (35 cm). It's face looked like an old man's. It had a flat head, huge, heavy-lidded eyes and a very wide mouth. It was so well preserved that the finger nails could still be seen on the hands. It gets stranger - the top of it's head was covered in a dark jelly-like substance. The prospectors carefully took their find to the huge town of Caspar, Wyoming where many prominent scientists, sure of a hoax, came from all over the US to have a look at it.

Dr. Henry Shapiro, an anthropologist from the American Museum of Natural History set up extensive tests, assuming it would show some type of doll or pieced-together work of taxidermy. Instead the X-rays showed that Pedro had inside him a perfectly formed manlike skeleton with a complete set of human-like ribs. Also shown was a damaged spine, a broken collarbone and that the skull had been smashed by a heavy blow. It seems Pedro had met with a violent death. The gelatinous substance on his head was exposed brain tissue and congealed blood. The fontanels - the soft spots in the skull which mesh to a solid plates as a baby matures to childhood - were closed, proving that this had indeed been a full grown adult.

      Pedro had a full set of adult teeth but the odd difference overly pointed canines teeth. The overall estimate was that the being had been about 65 years old at the time of death and dated 'far back into history'. Sometime in the 1950s, Pedro vanished after one of his owners died, and his location today is still unknown. How did Pedro get into a totally sealed cave in solid rock -which would have taken tens of thousands of years to seal - and why was the top of the head moist and 'gelatinous' yet after all those many centuries?

 

7. The Long Nose Beings

     Another race of humans who came to planet earth to lead mankind, I believe, are the long nosed rulers of Palenque. Palenque is an ancient Maya city which produces one the finest architecture, sculptures and bas-relief carvings. When I read up about Palenque, I noticed three unusual things: all the rulers, priests and kings had long big noses that started in the middle of the forehead; they were sometimes depicted in meditation poses; and they often wore sun pendants. I think they were different than humans, although very closely related. They were highly spiritual, and the sun pendant points once more to the worship of the Central Sun, like the Egyptian Akhenaton. Palenque was highly developed and contains a lot of inscriptions. here are some clay figures from Palenque:

Other sculptures from Palenque:

Same long nose figures were found at Jaina, a small limestone island on the Yucatán Peninsula's Gulf coast with only a tidal inlet separating it from the mainland, Jaina served as an elite Maya burial site, and is notable for the high number of figurines excavated there:

     So how do the experts, the archeologists, explain these long nose? They are always so good in explaining away these anomalous features as deformities, diseases etc. I once went to a lecture by the world renowned Anton Vollemare, a Dutch anthropologist, who was famous for a major contribution to the deciphering of the Mayan hieroglyphs. I asked him about the long noses. Yes, he knew about it, but his explanation was that the aristocracy implanted a stone piece underneath the skin in order to elongate the nose for esthetic purposes. When I asked him if they had ever found these stone pieces with the skeletons, his answer was no... Another "expert" explanation out of thin air.

     If they used these stone inserts, then they would have been found with the skeleton remains, wouldn't they? Furthermore, The skin is very tight above the nose. They would have to cut open the skin in a straight line, place a stone piece in it and try to pull the skin over it, and sew it back together. I think it is not possible, besides being painful, even if you want to insert the stone piece through a small cut, and shuffle it upwards. Also, the area of the bridge of the nose is irregular, so try to cut a piece that will fall smoothly in place with the rise and fall of the nose, bridge of the nose and forehead, and make the line of the 'artificial nose' straight. Besides all that, you will have a good scar remaining too.

     The important thing is that the supposed stone inserts have never been found. So what remains? I think it was a natural feature, and that those had this belonged to another race. Question is where did they come from. They were obviously more evolved as they only took leadership positions. Was it a result of inbreeding, or did they come from somewhere else? I'll let you guess.

    One more remark: biologically the length of the nose relates to the climate you live in (we are talking here in the evolution of species). The nose is rich in blood vessels which warm the air with each inhalation so the lungs don't get too cold and catch colds. In colder climates the nose has to be longer because the inhaled air needs more warming. The very long noses of the Mayan aristocracy seem to point to a place with very, very cold air. Not exactly the climate of Middle America.

8. The Ica People

     The Ica stones have become well known because of the images they contain of man with dinosaurs. More than ten thousand of these stones are known to exist. They are part of the Ica Museum, in Ica, Peru. The huge cache was unearthed when the Ica River overflowed its banks a number of years ago destroying a nearby mountain, and exposing an unknown cave. An illiterate farmer claimed to have found the cave but would not reveal its location.

     The sensational thing about the stones is that they show man together with dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are said to have lived from 230 million years ago to 65 millions years ago. Homo sapiens, modern man, is said to have originated only 200,000 thousand years ago. The earliest hominid (which is actually an erect gorilla species), dates from 2 million years ago. So who were those people living at the age of dinosaurs? There is only one possible answer, and that is that they came from another planet and settled here. They cannot be a Homo sapiens race, thus they were of another human-like race.

     A lot of people claim that the Ica stones shown a highly advanced technologically civilization. I don't agree with that. The beings that came here might have come from an technologically advanced civilization, but the stones don't show that. I looked at the pictures available of the internet. I assume that those who have visited the Ica Museum, and took the pictures, chose the best ones. As there are over ten thousand stones, the pictures on the web are only a small selection. So what do we see on these stones? Different dinosaurs, men riding the dinosaurs, men killing dinosaurs, dinosaurs killing men, surgery performed on head and body, with details of intestines. A man looking through e telescope to stars. I don't call that highly technological.

     Brain surgery is known to have been performed by the ancient Greeks. We know that they had a large collection of surgical instruments very similar to our modern day surgical tools. They were skilled in surgery, and caesarian section were also performed. The Ica stones show brain surgery, caesarian sections, arm amputation. All within the reach of skilled doctors in a well developed society, but not necessary technological. The details of intestines is also not spectacular, because any people who eat animals, have to butcher them and know what the inside looks like, and doctors have certainly opened up dead bodies to learn from them. A telescope is also not that spectacular. All you need is a tube with two lenses. An ancient Greek pot shard shows a telescope. Many lenses have been found in archeological digs (http://www.s8int.com/page10.html).

     So, again what do the Ica stones show? In spite of the numerous stones, they seem to show only a few topics, relevant to a ruler or aristocratic class: Taming and riding dinosaurs, killing dinosaurs, surgery and interest in the stars. Many figures have a kind of hat on with what I assume are feathers or leaves. Usually this denotes a the person depicted belongs to a higher cast. They also all wear boots, as the feet don't show toes, except with a new born child and on another stone a patient. Scenes of maps, and some mystical scenes with stars, also point to a caste of scientists-priests.

    So, nevertheless, they do show a race of intelligent beings that existed on this planet at the time of the dinosaurs.

     It is also noteworthy to mention that Ica is close to the famous Nacza lines.

Riding dinosaurs:

Killing dinosaurs:

Dinosaurs doing the killing:

Caesarian surgery:

man with handheld telescope looking at the stars, a cpmet above him:

Maps:

Some mystical scenes:

     There is one more mystery to the Ica stones. Some people have reported energetic phenomena and even healings while in the presence or while holding the stones. So there is the possibility that the Ica people were spiritually advanced.

9. Other Strange Skulls

     This skull of unknown origin, also photographed by Robert Connolly, has a cranial capacity that can be estimated safely above 3000 ccm mark.

Another skull photographed by Robert Connolly

     I found a couple of references on the internet, not many, of a strange skull found in Bulgaria. It is not possible at this time (2008) to determine the validity of these reports. Nevertheless I am including it here just in case it might be authentic.

---

The following info is from http://mysteryskull.tripod.com/ , it appears to be a contact person in Bulgaria.

      "In May 2001 an unidentified skull was found in Rodopi Mountain, Bulgaria. It has the size of a baby's head and it weights about 250 grams. A disk-shaped smooth metal object was found nearby the skull too. Some people think that the alloy it was made of cannot be composed on the Earth. Scientists explored the skull and no one was unable to identify it. I have four original opinions of Bulgarian scientists which proof the following: 1. This is skull; 2. The skull is not a paleontology find; 3. The skull is from unidentified animal species. If you want more information or you want to get some or all of the opinions contact me.

     "At the moment the following EXAMINATIONS were conducted: primary DNA test; X-ray photos; micro photos of a human's skull and this skull to be compared; irradiation by light with wave's length from 400 to 540 nm.

     "Results: PRIMARY DNA TEST: It showed that the examined material does not match to any of the known species. But for a full test the skull probably must be destroyed.
X-RAY PHOTOS: It showed clearer that the cavity probably has contained brain.
MICRO PHOTOS: Showed comparability with human's skull but there are differences especially on the surface. There are miniature holes like the pores on the skin (scientists think these wholes has something to do with protecting the bone from high pressure) and there are trails of crystallization of the bone. Micro photos have been taken from the surface and from a sliced piece of the backside of the skull.
IRRADIATION: Did not show difference between this skull and a human's one."

     "A news article at this Russian site, called voininatangra.org:

     "ALIEN SKULL CAUSES GREAT EXCITEMENT IN BULGARIA
The mysterious skull and metal fragment found buried in the Rhodopes mountain range in southern Bulgaria on May 21, 2001 are generating a lot of excitement and controversy in that southeastern European nation.
According to Iassen Kobarelov, UFO Roundup correspondent in Bulgaria, the news magazine BTA published a photo of the skull in the edition that appeared on newsstands in Sofia on Thursday, January 31, 2002.
     "The mysterious skull of unidentified origin has Bulgarian scientists and stirred the emotions of the fans of extraterrestrial civilizations," Iassen reported.
     "The strange skull is as large as a baby's. There are six cavities (orifices) in it, but none of them resembles a mouth. The skull weighs 250 grams and its bones are light," and thinner than the skull bones of the average Homo sapiens.
     "The skull "was found by a 38-year-old resident of Plovdiv," a mid-sized city about 150 kilometers (90 miles) southeast of Sofia, "who requested anonymity. He is said to have shown his find only to a narrow circle of scientists and people with a pronounced interest in the paranormal."
     "However, Bulgarian archaeologist Katya Malamet has disputed the article which originally appeared in the Turkish newspaper Milliyet. "Archaeologist Katya Malamet, a member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, said she had never seen such a thing."
     "The director of the Paleontology Museum in Asenovgrad, Dimiter Kovachev, is positive that the find is no fossil and has no analogy" or resemblance to any hominid skull known to science.
     "Anthropologist Prof. Yordan Yordanov believes that the skull doesn't look like any human cranium known to science for the past 30 million years."
     "In the view of renowned (Bulgarian) psychic Koubrat Tomov, the creature could be a product of the Atlanteans, which was created to serve man. He believes that it was a scientific experiment which, in all likelihood, had been unsuccessful but which can 'overturn the notions of our existence on Earth,' Tomov claims."
     "Scientists are not in a hurry to draw categorical conclusions before DNA tests and carbon-14 analysis to determine the age of the skull" have been made.
     "In addition to the structure of the skull, the metal found nearby will be examined, too."
    "However, interest from abroad has already become evident. The find's owner admitted to the scientists that he had been offered handsome sums of money to sell his discovery."
     "We risk the disappearance of a discovery which might change the notions of our origins and existence,' said Marin Maidenov, president of the Bulgarian Association for Astral and Paleontological Contacts."
     "The mysterious skull was discovered last year after the Plovdiv man had a strange dream in which five aliens, dressed in one-piece yellow uniforms, directed him to go to a certain spot on Mount Rodop, on the border between Bulgaria and Greece, and to dig there. (Many thanks to Iassen Kobarelov for this news story.)"

     Here are the pictures of this strange skull:

There is also a YouTube video of this skull.

10. Little People

     There are many stories of little people, that is beings of small stature. We all know about gnomes and dwarfs, tales that originated in Western Europe. But everywhere in the world, people have tales of small size beings, with different looks and names. These tales are based on real observations and interactions, and proof of this is that many skeletons have been found of these little beings. But unfortunately, like with the giant skeletons, they have a tendency to disappear afterwards. The following paragraph is just one example of these discoveries.

     Large numbers of skeletons of little people, only three to four feet tall, have been found nearby  Cochocton, Ohio, and in Coffee County in Tennessee. Both quotes are taken from Ancient Man, a Handbook of Puzzling Artifacts, William R. Corliss, Sourcebook Project, 1978. The first source this book quotes from is the Gentlemen's Magazine: "A short distance from Cochocton, Ohio, U.S., a singular ancient burying-ground has lately been discovered. "It is situated," says a writer in Silliman's Journal, "on one of those elevated, gravelly alluvions, so common on the rivers of the West.  Finding remains of wood, still apparent in the earth around the bones, it seems the bodies were all deposited in coffins. Most curious is the fact that the bodies buried there were generally not more than than three to four and a half feet in length. They are very numerous, and must have been tenants of a considerable city, or their numbers could not have been so great. A large number of graves have been opened,  all are of this pygmy race. No metallic utensils have yet been found to throw light on the period or the nation to which they belonged". The second source was taken from the Anthropological Institute, Journal, 6:100, 1876: "An ancient graveyard of vast proportions has been found in Coffee county. It is similar to those found in White county and other places in middle Tennessee, but it vastly more extensive, and shows that the race of pygmies who once inhabited this country were very numerous. The same peculiarities of position observed in White county graves are found in these. The writer of the letter says: "Some considerable excitement and curiosity took place a few days since, near Hillsboro, Coffee County, on James Brown's farm. A man was ploughing in a field which had been cultivated many years, and ploughed up a man's skull and other bones. After making further examination they found that they were about six acres of graveyard. They were buried in a sitting or standing position. The bones show that they were a dwarf tribe of people, about three feet high. It is estimated that there were 75,000 to 100,000 buried there. This shows that this country was inhabited hundreds of years ago."

     The following is a story by a man I know personally. He is very down to earth, a successful builder by trade, knows nothing of alternative subjects, and had his encounters only during a couple of years. He normally doesn't talk about it, and it was only by chance that I heard about his encounters. He was willing to talk about it to me, when he saw I was unprejudiced and open to unusual ideas.

     As you will see in this story, these beings are strangely shaped in a way that many will have difficulty to accept that this is possible. But never forget that life-forms are not always what we think they should be. There are many things we do not know yet, and preconceptions are only blinders to the truth. It is interesting that the beings told him that they genetically experimented with in the past. In the light of what we have seen in the lengthy article, life forms on this planet earth almost all bear the mark of genetic engineering, one way or another. It always seems to pop up. It is also interesting that they live underground. There are numerous stories of intelligent beings living underground, that is in underground cities, tunnels, cave systems etc., from gnomes and dwarfs, to enlightened masters, descendants from Lemuria and Atlantis, to extraterrestrials, and the modern stories of greys and reptilians. After a while one starts to get the impression that the earth is one big zoo!

     I also should mention that the M. build himself a second home in town, and his contacts continued over there too for a while. He later sold the house to a woman. The woman told me that she had a UFO encounter at that house. When she came home one evening, after dark, she saw twelve translucent spheres above the house. Anyway, here we go with the story.    

     M., born in 1951, living in New York state, is a professional sculptor and artist who has a lot of experience in scenic design in the movie industry. he is a practical, robust man and very down to earth. Before he was visited by strange beings, he had neither been interested in them or related subjects, nor was he interested in the  Inner Earth hypothesis and peripheral vision. I have seen his sculptures of the beings, which reminded me of the European satyrs. They look very friendly to me, and radiate a warm, loving feeling. Somehow they have a simple, almost childlike aura around them. However, M. told me that most people, when seeing his sculptures, are afraid of them. Do people unconsciously feel that these creatures might really exist? Here is his story:

     "My experiences started in 1986 and ended with the fire in my working studio which destroyed all the sculptures of the little beings, in February 1994. I was pilled into some force field these little people generated. During these years I woke up from dreams and sculpted the image from my dream. Every time I saw something, I saw a being, I woke up and created him. It was a very natural process. The beings appeared in my dreams and I could recreate them when I was sculpting.

     I do not see the images as holographic, it was more like a push inside me that came from my dreams. I was driven to repeatedly reproduce these images from the same basic field. It was like a birth. The dreams in which these beings appeared were like all other dreams, the only difference was that they were mixed in it. I would wake up with an image in my head, a very strong image, a very strong impulse that lasted for a few years, and then it was gone. I sculpted about 150 of them. They all looked very much alike. They seem to belong to a family, a tribe. It felt definitely as if an external force were acting upon me. After i created one, He would come back the next time and introduce me to another one in a dream. I would remember the one I sculpted before, and I would then sculpt the other one.
