I saw "The Mothman Prophecies" twice on the weekend of February 2-3, the first time with a friend (the one who discovered the "Alice: The Way Out" artwork at the subway train station), and the next day by myself. I took notes during the movie showings. The first day the ink ran out half way through the film, and I did not realize it at first, writing on ten small notebook pages before I saw the ink was out. The next day I used a BIC "UFO" PEN, one of BIC's special series of pens. The ink did not run out. Maybe "They" wanted me to use a UFO pen inside of a run-of-the-mill pen.
The purpose here is not to review the movie, (you gotta see it!!!) perhaps the best ever about synchronicities, as especially connected with encounter phenomena, like the Mothman and associated appariations, and the emotional and psychological impact anomolous experiences have on witnesses, portraying our INNER STATES, struggles, questions and dilemmas in explaining this to others -- and to ourselves, which is even harder! Richard Gere did an amazing accurate job in conveying THAT -- and fought for two years to get this film in the theaters.
I will just make associations of what's in the movie as it connects with our "WOW! CONTACT" - and also mention the "Syncs" in real time immediately connected with it in my own little life.
THE BRIDGE, OHIO & WEST VIRGINIA
The SILVER Bridge collapsed over the OHIO River on December 15, 1967 in Charleston, WEST VIRGINA, killing 47 people. Journalist John Keel began investigating strange doings in the region 13 months before. In the movie the BRIDGE collapses on Christmas Eve in our time. The film places the event in our time, not 1967.
WEST VIRGINA: That connects with the SYNCS I had just one week before: The book store and the books about Princeton University Professor Nash ("A Beautiful Mind"), rocket scientist Homer Hickim, Jr. ("October Sky:) and the (Von) Braun link at the bookstore, etc., both men from WEST VIRGINIA, as experienced on January 26 by me and a friend.
OHIO: The Ohio River by Charleston, to which fictional Washington Post reporter John Klein was drawn, and other references to OHIO in the movie. That connects with the OHIO connections of the week before here: the Ohio State University Big Ear SETI Project and its WOW! signal and the fact that two other people in the Sept. 26th SYNCS had Ohio connections at a time in their lives.
THE BRIDGE: I took the Verrazano Bridge to get to the Staten Island Mall (across the huge city trash dump where the debris of the Twin Towers are), where we had our Syncs at the bookstore on Jan. 26. In the movie, Klein (Richard Gere) travels to RICHMOND, as indicated by a road sign, but takes a turn into "the twilight zone" with "Missing time" landing him in WEST VIRGINIA. STATEN ISLAND is actually a borough of New York City called RICHMOND.
The Bridge can symbolize what has happened here in our CONTACT, with our communicatio with unknown otherworldly intelligences and the Cyber-Space Bridge between SPACE in NYC and our good friend Gary in England. The BRIDGE collapsed, in a sense, between us in the last few days, when I was told by a British UFO researcher that I was "popping rivets" by reporting the latest SYNCS. That same phrase was last used by the school principal when I was 13 when I was punished for reporting possible UFOs (and thus traumatizing me and crushing my burning desire to become an astronomer!) --BUT this time it was said by "UFO believers" who appareently now think I am crazy, as do some other ufologist (including those who do not believe that I am a reporter, although our newspapers are sold at their local newstands every week).
The SILVER BRIDGE over the OHIO River collapses at CHRISTMAS Time. When MY OWN artifical Christmas Trees collapsed with a BIG NOISE only nights before seeing the movie, a toy RED BRIDGE I had place on one of the trees feeel down into an EASTER Basket. I had two Green Space Alien Figures on the TOY RED BRIDGE. The other Christmas Tree that came down with a bang was a SILVER Christmas tree.
The BIG NOISEY collapse in my bedroom at 3:03 A.M. occured in front of one of two closets. A few years ago after I made a UFO talk at a program in Long Island (te wonderful Eyes of Learning organization), a friend saying at my apartment said he came into my bedroom to look for something in by that closet. Then he saw what he thought was a "MOTH" in front of the closet, but was AMAZED to see it was a little MAN with WINGS, like "A FAIRY" which surprised and unnerved him. The "FAIRY" dived into a pile of clothes. Wow!!!!
THESE OUR ASTOUNDING EVENTS that cannot be dismissed!
WOW: In the movie there is a TV station which happens have the call letters "WOWK-TV" which broadcasts news reports. On first viewing, I thought WOWK was a fictional TV station for the purpose of the film with its "WOW" message. Wrong! It is a real CBS TV networ affiliate, WOWK-TV, Channel 13 in the Charleston area. "WOW" talks about the OHIO River and a plane crash (plane crashes are a recurrent theme and pattern in many encounter witnesses dreams, by the way). The whole WOW! connection we have with OHIO's Big Ear SETI project enters into the picture, literally since this is a movie! The number "13" also has a spiritual connection, which our mate Gary in the UK can understand.
ALEXANDERS: In the movie Alan Bates plays a hounded former physics professor, ALEXANDER LEEK, who wrote about PSI phenomena in a book called "THE VISIBLE DARK," which brings in or CONTACT's INVISIBLE BLACK UNIVERSE theme and patterns. He talks about the Intelligence behid Mothman, UFOS, and PSI phenomena as having "motives that aren't human" and that if "you notice them...they notice that you notice them..." and then "strange things happen" in West Virginia and elsewhere! (By-the-way, Leek and Klein are two sides of John Keel, who was split into two characters for movie purposes).
The very day before I (Harold, the misguided UFO experiencer who's gone off the deep end with our "rabbits," as some firmly believe), I get a call from a distraught woman, named Mary, at work who wants our newspapers to do a story abou a TRAUMA she had. She asks for my name, and I say that it's the paper's policy not to give our names unless the person knows us. We refer calls like her's to our editor, who decides on story assignments. before she tells me about her TRAUMA, she tells me, "I'll call you ALEXANDER, if you don't mind."
The very next day (Feb. 2) I see the Mothman movie for the first time, and there's a researcher in it whose name is ALEXANDER! And what does he tell REPORTER Klein about inexplicable beings and phenomena? "Most people can't see these things unless they've had some sort of TRAUMA." That's a REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE. Of course, TRAUMA aand PTSS (post-traumatic stress syndrom) and ANXIETY is a large part of the UFO experience. And reporter Klein's TRAUMA is the death of his dearly beloved young wife.
The seminal experience that got me into researching my possible close encounters was a TRAUMA when my Volkswagen "bug" overturned. My seatbelt saved my life, and I was uninjured. The ar was totalled, and I was alone. Two weeks later I had a visitaion at 3:00 a,m, on December 5, 1972, whch I did not think was a UFO encounter. The "beings" entered my bedroom door with the Alice WHITE RABBIT poster from "Jefferson Starship," the song group.
In his book John KEEL tells of such an experience he had with is VW Karmen Ghea!
The evening of the day I first saw the movie, I get a phone call here at home. I wait until my answering machine gives the caller a voice. There is none. I pick-up the phone. There's a lot of Static. I dial #69. It's a real phone number. The last four numbers are "3773," another SYNC, as in he movie 36 people die in the bridge collapse, except for #37, a number given to Police Officer "Connie" through a dream in the movie! As if to emphazise the "37," the numbers are 37 and 73, 73 being a MIRROR image of "37!" Like Alice through the Looking Glass! -- our recurring theme and pattern!
Strange Messages through phones are very much a part of the MOTHMAN movie, as you'll see from viewing it. Rather than getting RADIO, TV, or LASER signals from intelligent beings in outer space (we may yet get that!), CONTACT COMES BY STEALTH, SYNCS, RIDDLES, MOTHMAN, RABBITS and so many other forms WHICH DO NOT FIT HUMAN CONCEPTIONS of CONTACT.
We live in a Reality composed mostly by NONHUMAN Forces, Energies, Lifeforms, or whatever you choose to lable and interpretate them, as our Nohuman BUNNIES demonstrate!. BUT THEY ARE DEFINATELY THERE!
TIME: That's a big part of the Mothman movie. Klein's "missing time" which lands him mysteriously in WEST VIRGINA. A scene in which a man carrying a bag pulls open his sleeve and looks at his WATCH, just like at the image at beginning of this Breakthrough Material. CLOCKS are shown throughout the movie in timely fashion,
There are cryptic phrases in the movie like "You will see her again IN TIME" (referring toKelin's dead wife), amd Indrid Cold (the mysterious human phantom voice and figure in the movie) again, saying, "I will Return. I will SEE YOU IN TIME."
There are also references to WAKE-UP Calls in the movie, but in a synchronistic fashion. "WAKE UP, Number 37," is the messsage in a woman's dream. Klein gets an unrequested "WAKE-UP CALL" at his Avalon Motel. Much of the theme of our specific CONTACT is AWAKENING.
Are We Alone? Are We Awake? In the early 1970s I almost joined the Guerdoff Foundation here in NYC, as they see people as "asleep" when they thik they are "awake." That I've known since I was a child. (I probably wud have met Whitley Strieber in the early 1970s if I went to a Guerdorff meeting!)
As the movie show began at the Alpine theater, next to a mosque, the first thing shown was a man at a hotel (his before the commercials and coming attractions), and the hotel clerk asks if he wants a "wake-up call." He says no thanks, but is awaken by a M and M candy piece in his bed (MM, hint!)
Also, the other ads and Coming Attractions have SYNCs in them. In one, a dot.com ad, these questions are asked: "IS IT POSSIBLE? IS IT PLAUSIBLE? SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN?"
In a preview of another Richard Gere movie, "An Indicent Proposal," there is a line "I THINK I WAS JUST IN TIME," an association with our JUST-IN TIME VAN SYNC Cluster of early January. There's even a new JODIE FOSTER movie, far from her CONTACT movie role.
In another preview, there's a holograhic "RED QUEEN" Little Girl (like Alice, a bit), who says to people wjo come into a secret laboratory: The lines in that preview are: "You have to GET OUT" and some actor says, "She may be the WAY OUT."
There are many more synchronicities involving the "MOTHMAN" that are, in and of themselves, fascinating, and those which connect with our situation, patterns and associations.
After my first viewing of the movie on Saturday (Feb. 2), I board a local bus wth my frined, and we're talking about the movie. Looking outside the window my attention is drawn to a bumper sticker on a car's rear bumperm wich reads:
"Samll minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great inds discuss ideas."
I am amazed, as this is what the happy handsome man in black told me at the West 50th Street 1-9 subway station just three evenings before when I was photograpjing the Alice artwork!! And it was right there just after seeing the MOTHMAN movie with all its sync experinces. Absolutely remarkable!
Ariving home, I turn on Classic Radio Station WQXR-FM on, and their is an intermission disccusion of the opera. The panel is discussing the afternoon's opera. The chief announcer, petere Allen, asks how would one of our astronauts would explin Opera to people of other planets? He soon afterwards mentions a Looney Tunes with BUGS BUNNY which was a take-off in the afterboon;s opera.
Then this past Wednesday following two morning news assignments, one at a polce station and the otther at a city councilman dedicating a street corner to a mother and child killed there by a van, on my way back to the news office, I take photos of the optician office that rplaced the 19th Hole Pub, the Dyker Beach Park playground across the corner, the eastern end of the Dyker golf course.
At a bus shelter by a public school, I take photos of a busstop ad of "THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES" movie, which faces the Dyker Golf Course. The Mothman ad is like a huge Rocshack Test in shape.
I then board a bus back to work, putting my new camera away. Then I notice a woman two seats ahead of me reading a book opened toa sub-section of a chapter with the words "SIPPORT GROUPS," which is a large part of what SPACE is all about.
BOOKMARKING THE RABBIT
As the woman on the bus placed her book inside her bag, with its pink bookmark with a Purple and White RABBIT on it, along with a pink ribbon, I see the book title: "Group Counseling and Support Groups..." (the rest was obscured). |
By Harold Egeln, NYC, February 9, 2002
In the Mothman movie reporter Klein (Gere) stays in the "AVALON MOTEL" in his stay in Point Pleasant, West Virginia."
AVALON evokes images of Camelot and the days of King Arthur and the Roundtable, and Merlin's magic, and of one of my favourite books, "THE MISTS OF AVALON: The Magical Saga of the Women Behind King Arthur's Throne" by Marian Zimmer Bradley (Ballantine paperback, 1982), and the gentle spirit of Celtic ways before Christanity took hold.
Anyway, while walking along 95th Street TODAY (Feb.9) I point out the AVALON Travel Agency on Third Avenue, in an English Tutor style apartment building, across from the KEY Food Supermarket. NO Coincidence in that, of course.
I was thinking of the AVALON Motel in the Mothman movie, which I saw at the ALPINE Theater on Fifth Avenue, but there was nothing there that connected with it. I was about to mention the ALPINE theater to my friend, when....
AT THAT VERY MOMENT, before I said anything, a car whizzes by the AVALON Travel Agency, beating the traffic light before it turns RED. On the front bumper was license plate, clear as can be, that red, in WHITE letters on a Bright RED background:
ALPINE
WOW! we both said, as I told my friend (the same mate who saw the subway station with the "Alice: The Way Out" motif two weeks before) that I was about to mention the ALPINE theater, where weboth saw the Mothman movie. I think (I'll check) that the ALPINE on the plate is a local car dealership?).
The TIMING was PERFECT for this SYNC. It happens so often -- Too much in fact -- that "someone" is having fun being a Merry Prankster! And is delivering MESSAGES that DEFY CONSENSUS REALITY, as reporter Klein found out in the movie, as reporter John Keel found in his own amazing life.....and in my own and thse around me!
And there was another SYNC. When I looked at my watch, it was "10:47" A.M., bringing in our many "47" syncs over many years, with 47 referring, we think, to 1947, when "flying saucers" exploded into the public domain.
The "Mists of Avalon" book was on the NY Times best seller list for a full three months (there's now a sequel, which I haven't read). A reviewer called it "deeply moving and uncanny," and the use of the AVALON Motel in the Mothman movie evokes the magic and wonder of the misty Celtic Isle of Avalon, and MORGAINE (MORGAN le Fay).
There's MORE...Natch. Today I finally look at the "MUSEUMS FOR FAMILIES--New York Edition," Winter 2002, which I've had for over two weeks, but been too busy to look at.
On Page18 there is a full page article about a exhibit, "COTTONTAILS AND CORGIS: THE CHILDREN'S BOOKS OF BEATRIX POTTER," which introduced the world to the adventures of PETER RABBIT and "MISCHIEVOUS RABBITS" in 1901, delighting generations of children -- and adults. Unfortunately the last day of the exhibit was Sunday, January 27, the weekend that we reached CONFORMATION of our CONTACT.
NOT a SYNC in itself. But it was the PLACE where the exhibit was held, discovered by me today after coming home from breakfast and the AVALON-ALPINE SYNC:
The MORGAN LIBRARY
Which assocaites with our MORGAN le Fay (MORGAINE) SYNC, even though the fabulous Library on Madison Avenue and East 35th Street is named after millionaire J. P. Morgan.
What re-inforces this SYNC is that at the southeast corner of 35th Sreet and Madison Avenue is a Famous INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL BOOKSTORE!!!!!
We're still hopping down that Bunny Trail as the CONTACT and MESSAGE deepens.....And THERE"S EVEN MORE, mates! Enter LESTER DEL RAY.........

"MIRROR IN THE DARK"

MIDNIGHT AT THE WATERFALL

By Harold Egeln, NYC, February 10, 2002
While searching for my "Mothman Prophecies" book the other evening (I have thousands of books on all subjects, and still cannot find my R.D. Laing!), I came across some encounter and unrelated books which I haven't seen for quite awhile, in my postage-stamp sized apartment ("flat").
Among those books are a rare classic, "THE CASE FOR THE UFO - UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS" by scientist Morris K. Jesseup (The Citadel Press, NY, 1955) [NOTE: There's an M.K. sync in the Mothman movie] with an introduction by radio commentator Frank Edwards.
Jessup, who committed suicide in 1959, was "an explorer and instructor in Astronomy and Mathematics at the University of Michigan and Drake Univserity.... completing his Thesis for the Doctorate in Astro-physics at the Unversity of Michigan. He erected and operated the largest refracting telescope in the Southern Hemisphere, in South Africa, for the University of Michigan," among many other accomplishments., says he book jacket.
Jessup was not an off-the-waller nor a bunny rabbit. His book looks at evidence that UFOs are long-time phenomena, much like "Alexander Leek" in the Mothman movies says about that apparation. (My original copy of this book was thrown in the garbage when I was 13. This original hardcover, a dog-eared copy, was bought in June 1999, the last of the books recovered fro those destroyed by order of school authorities.
Another book I re-found in my search for my Mothman book is "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, a Norton Critical Edition edited by English Professor Donald Gray of Indiana University, 1971, also with "Through the Looking Glass" and "The Hunting of the Snark" along with backgrounnd material on Carroll and essays in criticism.
I bought the book on February 20, 1972, te year that would create my own Adventures in the 40-Acre Woods at the site of the "Lost Manion of West Orange with his multiple witnessed phenomena which a teen witch by the name of "Bunny" wanted to investigate.
My Mothman book was found on a bookshelf behind an old tin sign of "Natural Amerucan SPIRIT" cigarette ad, with a Native American smoking a Peace Pipe. Association with my search for the Mothman Book = SPIRITual Search?
On the very day I fuond the book a few days ago, I got in the postal mail an announcement about the U.S. Psychotronics Association's 28th Annual National Conference on the weekend of Juky 19-22, 2002. The Conference Theme is:
"ALICE IN QUANTUM LAND: EXPLORING THE REALMS OF THE UNUSUAL"
"Alice In Quantum Land" is also the first part of the title of the book by Physics Lecturer Robert Gilmore at Bristol University in Geat Britian, with the subtitle: "An Allegory of Quantum Physics."
"Stepping through Alice's mirror is non other than the event horizon in quantum physics which leads tthrough the sirling tunnel to the 'Other Side.' Here where time and space are inversed by the mirror and strange things happen. Yet wizards like Merlin, Gandolf and Dumbledore persist in fiction as psycho-tronics unfolds the reality of man's dual nature, standing astride both 'here and 'there'." reads the conference introduction.
Looking through Keel's Mothman book, with a wonderful book cover by illustrator Frank Frazetta, I look for my "Williams" reference in the first page or two. There's none.
HOWEVER, between pages 78-79 there is an eight-paragraph article from The NY Times of Jan. 6, 1993, an A.P. Story headlned" "U.S. to Term Secodary Smoke a Cancer Peril." One paragraph is outlined in BLUE and it is a quote by WILLIAM K Reilly of he U.S. Environmental Protection Agency! I found my WILLIAMS.
But the two other SYNC-Associations are the topic of Smoking, as in the article and as in the "Natural American SPIRIT" tin advertizement which HID the book from view.
The POINT: Where's There's SMOKE, there's FIRE ----- Which is what this CONTACT, now Confirmed, is ALL ABOUT!!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Today (Sun. February 10, 2002) I saw the Mothman movie for a third time with another friend. After lunch at a coffee shop on FOURTH Avenue here in Brooklyn, we walked along the block towards the ALPINE movie theater on FIFTH Avenue.
I mention to my friend that there are no Rabbit statuettes on the lawns and houses on the block between Fourth and Fifth Avenues, as I had already checked it out. WRONG, -- for sudddenly we're in that "twilight zone" between not only the two avenues but like between the FOURTH and FIFTH DIMENSIONS,
On the sidewalk, thrown out in the garbage is a battered and flithy Barbie Doll House. On the front of the dollhouse is a picture/drawing of TWO PURPLE RABBITS, one twice as large as the other. I snap some photos.
Now, this is not unusual. What makes it a meaningful coincidence -- a SYNC -- is what the dollhouse with the PURPLE RABBIT figures are on: An abandoned refrigerator. So what. Here's our "INDRID COLD," in the form of a frig, making meaning as we are on the way to see the Mothman movie with the mysterious pjanom character of Indrid COLD. And the ALPINE Mountains are very COLD.
"Indrid Cold," if you've seen the movie, approaches Gordon Smallwood at the abandoned chemical factory on the OHIO River.
Here, in the garbage is an abandoned dollhouse with our RABBITS, sutting on an abandoned frig (our Indrid COLD). In Keel's book where he mentions the abandoned chemcal site, h mentions that RABBITS run around its mounds.
Now, one thing I saved until now, is the site of U.S. Psychotronics National Conference, with its "ALLICE in Quantum Land" theme this July:
Columbus, OHIO.
As old baseball TV announcer Mel Allen would say, "How About That!"

Those above words are a line in the Mothman movie told by a Point Pleasant police officer to the visiting reporter. Today I asked a newspaper's movie reviewer, whom I've known for many years, what he really thought about the "The Mothman Prophecies."
Not only did he think it was excellent, as refected in his newspaper review, (he also like the movie "Commnion" when it came out in 1989) but when he was working on his master's degree he wrote a paper on his own Mothman research!! I was astounded! And he talked about Mothman much as Alexander Leek did in the movie.
"Mothman has been around since ancient times, my research shows. Most people who see and like the movie are not familiar with Mothman," said the brilliant man, a retired high school English teacher. "But a lot goes on in the world that is strange but real. I know!" I will invite him to our S.P.A.C.E. MOTHMAN Seminar, an he is willing to come.
Then in an issue of our newspaper of January 30, 2002, I notice a calendar listing for an "Alice In Wonderland" play by Puppetworks in Park Slope for the next several weekends in Park Slope. (I'm going o see the play, of course!)
The SYNC was what was on tthe following page, Page 8 -- My photo of Dr. Fiorella Terenzi, author of "Heavenly Knowledge" about her study of Acoustic Astronomy, standing next to the president of the city's NSS chapter at the lastuniversity meeting, on the exact oppositite side of the page!
MORE BRIEF NOTES ON THE MOTHMAN MOVIE
** My watch changing from 10:46 to 10:47 yesterday morning as the Car with the ALPINE license plates flashed by the Avalon Travel agency yesterday; the number of victims in the real brdge collapse in West Virginia was 46 or 47. What an elegantSYNC, so perfectly time as in theatre!!!
** Room 22 in the Avalon Hotel, where reporter John Klein (Richard Gere) stayed,. I was 22 when I refused to be trained to kill in the US Army, a key time in my life. And my Volkswagen accident on Route #22 in Union. N.J., leading to a near-suicide attempt a week later, followed by a major Visitation, lauching, eventually, into this Search Project.
** The WOWK-TV Channel 13 News reporter "TORY PARIS," making an associative synchronisticiv link between England ("TORY") and France with "PARIS," a recuurent theme in our "Contact Communition."
And remember, UFO buffs, early researcher Gray Barker, author of the classic "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers," now reprinted, was from WEST VIRGINIA. And his 1950s book has many SYNCS!
In yesterday's New York's Sunday "Newsday" newspaper (Feb. 10, 2002) there is a feature article in the "FANFARE" entertainment section titled: "MOVIES -- THE 'MOTHMAN" MYSTERY -- Whatever it was, it is now the subject ofa movie that may put a West Virginia town on the map" -- by Lorenza Munzo, a film reporter from the "Los Angeles Times." It is actually a fairly good full two-page feature spilling over to part of a third page.
I enjoy the CONTEXT in which the MOTHMAN article appears, as it's SYNC-FUL, to coin a new word. The cover feature story, "DREAMS UNLEASHED," is about a new exhibit at the city's Metropolitam Museum of Art on "SURREALISM: DESIRE UNBOUND," which I am eager to see. There is also a book review of "The ABDUCTION of Jane Eyre," not about "alien abductions," so called, but it is placed on the page following the MOTHMAN article.
The CONTEXT is an ideal fit, even though it is not exactly synchronistic. There's even a book review of Doris Lessing's latest book; she is famed for her science fiction novels of "alien agents on planets who somehow, for the most part, forgot their mission.
GOING "NO-WHERE" TO "SOME-WHERE"

DIGITAL CHESHIRE CAT GRINS
Yesterday I get a message from an encounter interfacer and researcher who clicked on Page 16 of our website and then it suddenly went blank, along with her browser connection.
A screen-saver image of a cat's face came on, its legs in a brook known for its "spirit effects." The cat usually has a wide toothy grin. The day before, on Sunday, she noticed that the cat's grin was gone. Later, going on-line again, her cat had its wide toothy grin back! She laughed out.
"How funny, Harold. You are haunted by rabbits and I have a Digital Cheshire Cat Grin which Appears and Disappears," the researcher, a briiliant and sensitive researcher, journalist and wonderful playwrite and author.
One night when I was 22 and stationed at Fort Dix, confined to the fort as I awaited possible court martial for protesting the Vietnam War and refusing to learn to use violence as a way to solve problems, (I did get an general discharge under honorable conditions that to Congressman Peter Rodino and human rights lawyers), I was drawn out of my barracks in the middle of the night.
I stood on a post road, alone, looking at the clear, starry sky. Suddenly I felt as if "the universe was looking at me," and I felt myself thrust into a rainbow-colored field of stars and swirls. as outer space communed with my inner space. There was a connection made that continues to this day, with pain and pleasure.
Humans are very much like puppets on many strings. This is not bad nor good, for the strings keep us in touch with one another and forces that can help or hinder us. Howdy Doody and the Bill Baird marionettes are fun, part of my childhood.
But, in a sense, humans are like Pinocchios. Some of the strings tugging at us include consensus reality, institutionilized beliefs and systems...and for those with the encounter experience, there are strings tugging from forces to hold us back and to forge us ahead, it seems.
Pinocchio's Big Wish was to become a real human boy. Perhaps the human species, billions of Pinocchios, may be in the position of becoming Fully Human in the most Creative Expansion of our Potential into an Awaken Species in partnership with the NonHuman World and Universe.
Bringing ourselves to our concerns here in CONTACT, the very fine SETI astronomers are specifically "Wishing Upon A Star," hoping to find that solar system or a probe from another world that will make contact with Earth.
Close Encounter Explorers, "wishing upon their own inner stars" (as through their own research and those of many fine researchers) want to discover the Who or What, the Why, the How and the Reasons behind the CONTACT already interfacing with them.
Some SETI scientists refuse to look at this, and some ufologists refuse to travel into the tangents and sideroads of CONTACT. Like the scientists and theologians of Galileo's time, they refuse to gaze into the new Telescope.
CONTACT, here and now, offers a chance to become fully human and to learn how to play rather than harm, if we are attuned to the best in humanity not the worst. CONTACT shows that we are being INTENSELY PROBED. It is a REFLECTIVE STATE for those engaged in the Contact, and some of it is very unpleasant and some of it is quite pleasurable. The CONTACT is COMPLEX.
In learning how to move contact along, we may be on the verge of recognizing our Cosmic Citizenship as we connect with an Omni-Directional Interface which acts through interconnecting, telepathic-like synchronisties and assocaited states of Mutual Awareness, an Internet of Consciousness, simply put.
Through space exploration, we are breaking the bounds of Gravity that have held us to this Earth. We must also learn how to break the inner bounds of gravity which hold us back, that make us fear and harm.
It appears that we are to become aware of our place in the universe, and THAT SEEMS TO BE ESSENTIAL FOR SUCCESSFUL CONTACT. SETI should consider the makeup of Contact with forces, intellgences and consciousnesses that are basically NonHuman in Nature, and that "THEY" would PREPARE us for fuller Contact in ways that are UNEXPECTED and FANTASTIC!
Then, like PINOCCHIO, with his Nonhuman Cricket Partner, we may finally have communion with ourselves and the universe which beckons, teases and reveals our own Wonderands in a Cosmic Ecology of many other WONDERLANDS.
A few more notes now, and then the PROACTIVE PLAN THAT YOU CAN TAKE PART IN TO FULLY REALIZE CONTACT.....
By Harold Egeln, NYC, February 13, 2002
"Listen to the innocence and laughter of children," a wonderful and gentle friend, whom I love and respect very, very much, wrote me today. Since he moved, he has seen so many RABBITS where he now lives.
It seems that as we LISTEN to the "Message" of our "Contact," it is being presented in a way of reenchanting our world, bringing compassionate wonderment into daily lives to form a relationship with the wonderlands that compose the universe, places filled with intelligences whom may not all be from other planets but other realms which intersect with our own wonderland, which we, as humans, have been disenchanted from.
On Monday (Feb. 11) I learned that the ALPINE car dealership plate that we saw on the car zipping by the AVALON Travel Agency on Saturday morning (Feb. 9) was from the ALPINE Pontiac and Cadillac General Motors Corporation Oldsmobile dealership on 18th AVENUE between 87th and 88th Streets in Bensonhurst.
"In your ROCKET OLDSMOBILE" went the old 1950's TV commericial tune when cars had rocket-like fins.
Yesterday (Tues. Feb. 12) I came across an old, yellow issue of a local weekly newspaper, worn and frayed with age, dated April 6, 1977. The front page photo shows an Easter Bunny holding an umbrella and a basket.
The caption reads: "Although April Showers came his way, the spirits of FUNNY the BUNNY weren't dampened at all last Saturday. The six foot RABBIT, who is also known as BOB HARVEY (Shades of Jimmy Stewart!) was out to delight young and old alike along 18th AVENUE, between 61st and 68th Streets....."
An ASSOCIATION here is the ALPINE car from a dealership on 18th AVENUE and an Easter BUNNY, a day later, but in a 1977 newspaper, also on 18th AVENUE, hinting at our 18th HOLE in golf, and the whole string of syncs in connection recently with that.
OK, Harold, we know you're going "bunny bonkers," but that's not really so. Soon after finding this newspaper a co-worker at my job (no nothing ofmy SPACE connection, since I am a "Clark Kent") suddenly exploded at me for my slow work that day (yesterday), not realizing that my new blood pressure medicine, a beta-blocker, was making me very drowsy. The co-worker exploded at me calling me "a creep" and worse, and my blood pressure shot up to the point where I became faint as my heartbeat went uncontrobaly wild, racing (the co-worker later apologized).
"MY BUNNY"
Today (Wed., Feb. 13, 2002 and the beginning of the Chinese New Year of the Horse) was pay-day. (I make $8.50 an hour.) Stepping out of the newspaper office shortly after noon I went into shock.... of a happy kind.
A giant van, the size of a huge Greyhound bus, swung off the avenue and down the sidestreet. On the side of the van was GIANT ADORABLE BRIGHT YELLOW RABBIT FACE, the entire height of the van (about ten feet?) with a big smile, facing directly at me, and had floppy ears extending over and down the top of the blue van!
Next to the BUNNY, called "1-877-MY-BUNNY" were the words, in giant letters, "CARE PLUS." I was startled my the TIMELY COINCIDENCE, and fumbled for my own camera in a bag, but the van raced down the street. I started runnng along the sidewalk, (like Roger Bannister in 1954) determined to get a photo.
As it stopped at the end of the street for a Red Light, I put the camera on ZOOM, as I stood across from the apartment building in which, COINCIDENTLY, world famous UFO researcher ANTONIO HUNEEUS, a friend, lives!
The YELLOW "MY BUNNY" van, turning the corner, passed an eye doctors building and a bank where "ZOE," friend works. (Making an OHIO connection which I cannot explain here). I keep runnng, taking more photos with the Zoom lens. The MY BUNNY van turns around a corner by a Haagen Daas ice cream store and parks on the street where I saw and photographed the WHITE and RED "Balloons" a week before.
Now that it's parked, I take close-up photos, but see NO DRIVER. I knocked at least three times on the van door. Finally a man and a woman, on the THIRD SERIES of KNOCKS, came to the van, and I introduce myself as a reporter fascinated by the MY BUNNY Van. It is a mobile information and heath van belonging to CHILD HEALTH PLUS, "New York State's Health Plan for Kids," and I tell the drivers that I've done many stories on the program and know one of its top officials, a former child movie and TV actor.
WOW! "1-877-MY-BUNNY" at the CORNER of where I work, became a Major SYNC...But it was not over!
THE TAKING PUPPET
Afer cashng my paycheck at the bank, with a teller using a HARRY POTTER purple pen, I walk to a check cashing place to pay my KEY-Span gas bill.
Suddenly, walking pass a laundromat, a street clown PUPPET with strings in a candy machine comes to life, moving on its own, and says in a mechanical voice:
"PLEASE TALK WITH ME. TAKE CARE."
Then it rests. I am too startled, as there was no one around to put money into the candy machine to make it work! ike the Health "CARE PLUS" MY BUNNY VAN, it communicates "TAKE CARE."
I pay my bill, then go into a Baskin-Robbins to treat myself to a chocolate milk shake, wishing the owners, who are from China, a Happy New Year. I then go to the PUPPET Candy machine next to the ice cream store to take photos of it. It is between a pay telephone and a toy helicopter ride!
The owner of the laundromat come to the door, asking why I was taking photos. I told herwhy, and asked if the candy machine with the string puppet works on its own. "No, it doesn'. Never,t" she says. I told her what happened and she stared at me as if I were crazy. I wish her a Happy Chinese New Year.
While in the ice cream store, by-the-way, across the street was a BRIGHT RED BALLOON waving back and forth, like the one placed on this webpage in connection with my whiite and red balloon sighting of the week before. It was at the door entrance to a store callrf "HAVING A PARTY II."
THE MESSAGE in this SYNC was perfectly clear to me. THE CONTACT is real, the communication is ONGOING and totally ENCHANTING!!!!!

TRAINS LEAVING FOR WONDERLANDS ON TRACK
By Harold Egeln, NYC, February 15, 2002 |
By Andrew Johnson in "MEDIA"
("Brooklyn Spectator" February 6, 2002, page 22)
You must listen carefully. There are indeed voices out there that you must hear and heed. Unexplainable forces that are part of the universe and have a hand in unexplained phenomena are present. When seen, these creatures, who have insight into everything, look like eight-foot-tall moths.
Such is the premise of "THE MOTHMAN PHOPHECIES," a mystery-thriller centering on a Washington Post reporter whose rather happy and normal life is interrupted when a car accident forces his wife to take an MRI brain scan. She has, unrelated to the accident, a rare brain tumor, and soon dies.
Two years later, the same reporter finds himself in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. He does not know why he drove there or how the trip took only an hour and a half, as he would have had to be going over 80 MPH to arrive so quickly. We then see a series of inexplicable occurrences, based on true events, through the eyes of this reporter.
Events chronicled in journalist John A. Keel's 1975 book, on which this film is based, depict the strange happenings that took place in and around the small West Virginia community. That 13-month period led up to a massive tragedy that made worldwide headlines in December 1967 (the collapse of a bridge killing many people).
The metaphysical and the surreal play enigmatic roles in this mysterious account. Strange sounds, strange voices, and even stranger drawings build the unbelievable reality at hand.
The Mothman, the creature supposedly responsible for these events, lives in lore, what with T-shirts, web-sites, comic books, trading cards, and even a rock album released concernig the being.
Director Mark Pellington moves the film along well, getting a sense of disbelief and trying to make sense of it all from his cast: Richard Gere (John Klein), Laura Linney (Police Officer Connie Parker), Will Patton (Gordon Smallwood), Debra Messing (Mary Klein), Lucinda Jenney (Denise Smallwood), and Alan Bates (Professor Alexander Leek).
Suspenseful and attention-holding, "THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES" makes for fairly good entertainment at the movies. (A Screen Gems/Lakeshore Entertainment production: MPAA rated PG13 - Director: Mark Pellington; Screenplay by Richard Hatem, based on John Keel's book; Director of Photography: Fred Murphy. -Rrunning time: 119 minutes.)

IN THE 19TH HOLE PUB AT THE SPACE-LAND GRAND CENTRAL STATION
Alice walked across a bridge. The middle part was not there! Had it collapsed? She walked into the void, actually walking on air until she suddenly fell into the water, swirling around her much as she had in that rabbit hole, and floated into a dream within a dream. |
By "Gary" of Merry Ole England,
Friday, February 15, 2002
The 19th Hole is the "Next One" after the "Last One." It is where the people go to have a drink and rest after a game of golf.
What we are now being informed of here is the fact that "We Have Everything."
In short, all the things that have happened in our lives, such as sightings, contact situations, dreams and "coincidences," we now have everything to give us the answer?
Hence the 19th Hole -- just sit and rest there, while we work out our clues! Or, if you play golf, check your score board.
DARTMOOR over here in England is where some Treasure Hunts have ended, as with our "MR. FRENCH," and it is in SCORRITON, where controversal "contactee" George Adamski is thought to have "visited" (after his death in a U.S. Navy hospital iin 1965).
Harold and you mates in SPACE, it is the only place in England that has any real UFO contact in connection with America. Hence, the England and America link that connected in June 2000; the reason why I and Friend Harold met to form a link with all that happened!
Scorriton (mentioned in the book "The Scorriton Mystery") is on Dartmoor. -- It is part of our where our "TREASURE HUNT" started off....
(postmark: APRIL 24, 1958, 5:30 PM, DEL MAR, CALIFORNIA)
(From) George Adamski, Palomar Terrace, Star Route, Valley Center, California
(To:) Harold W. Egeln, Jr., 57 Stratford Place, Irvington 11, N.J.
Dear Mr. Egeln:
Thank you for the encouraging things you sai in your recent letter about the work for mankind that I am attempting to do.
As of this time, I do not know what special information of forgotten civilizations the space people have - - but am inclined to think they "know' all of past truths.
Congratuations on your continued sightings!
With every good wish, G.A.
++ +++ +++++ +++++++ +++++++++++
Commentary by Egeln: I received this postcard in response to a letter I secretly wrote to Adamski, since I was forbidden to "think about UFOs and Astronomy" by the Irvington school authorities.
I still have a one page from Adamski that I received in reply to a long letter I wrote to him in the Spring of 1957, just before I was punished for upset my school (I was vice president of my eighth grade class then and a candidate for co-validictorian at graduation).
My parents gave me this post card from Adamski because they were happy that a famous author wrote their son. In 1958 we were already in the SPACE Age, with the first satellite orbitings.
Remember, I was only a kid boy then. I do not that I when I wrote Adamski, who has largely ben discredited since, I wanted to cheer him up from all the criticism he was getting then and encourage him to state what he feels to be the truth of his contact, though it seemed so unbelievable. It was the firstme in my life that I expressed my compassion to another human being.
And I shared with Adamski my own paranormal experiences, new UFO sightings, my deep interest in Tibetan Buddhism and my many dreams of "Space Trains" which haunted my nights, dreams I still remember in detail even now.
Also, note the subtle English connection. The street where I lived in my family's house was "STRATFORD Place," making me think of famed playwrite WILLIAM Shakespeare (making a WILLIAM connection, incredibly, 45 years ago!) and Stratford-On-the-Avon (a link with Avalon, perhaps, too?).
Also, note the number "11" in the address. "11" has been a key number in my contacts of the 1980s and 1990s, as have been the primary numbers 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11, which are mentioned as important in the Jodie Foster movie "CONTACT."

At work yesterday (Feb. 15) I answered the telephone at our newspaper office. It was an elected official returning the call of another reporter who is doing a story about him. While waiting for her to return to her desk, we chat about "PINOCCHIO," his favorite movie from childhood and his collection of Pinocchio puppets.
The other reporter returns and interviews the lawmaker. She then sends me on a bus trip to his local district office to pickup material he has that she needs for her article.
On my way to the bus stop I take some snapshots of the AVALON Travel Agency, then board the bus, which circles around the southern part of the huge Dyker Beach Golf Course mentioned by Byron LeBeau in connection with the now-gone 19th Hole Bar.
After stopping at the official's office, which is just off 18th AVENUE, I walked south on 18th AVENUE towards the ALPINE PONTIAC, CADILLAC, GMC TRUCK and OLDSMOBILE Auto Service Station and snap some photos. (The main dealership is on 16th Avenue.)
I quickly board the bus on 18th AVENUE, thinking of the 18th HOLE in golf games, "the LAST one" as Gary calls it. As the bus passes by the golf course I hope to spot a rabbit, knowing it is extremely unlikely.
THEN, as the bus swings around onto 7th AVENUE, I see a sign about "Parallel Parking," making me think of PARALLEL Dimensions, Universes and Realms.
AT THAT VERY MOMENT, a child behind me talks about her "CHRISTMAS RABBIT" as the bus goes up SEVENTH Avenue (7 being an important number in some spiritual theologies.)
RIGHT NOW, at this moment, (2:00 AM in the morning I remember a friend in the 1980s telling me about a Dream she had about RABBITS over-running that very same golf course! -- years before our RABBIT and associated SYNCS!)
Curiouser and curiouser!!!!

A VERY LARGE (HUMAN-LINK) ARRAY
By Harold Egeln, February 16, 2002 |
Aside from the mention of "The Lost Mansion of West Orange" in 1972 and "The Grail" in 1986, there is also a connection with the 1935 movie based on James Hilton's novel, "LOST HORIZON," the wonderous classic about the mythcal Shangri-La tucked away, hidden from the world, in a a valley surrounded by high mountains in Tibet.
The movie starred marvelous actor Ronald Coleman as the abducted British diplomat Conway, and I have loved the film since I saw it first as a child on TV back in the 1950s.
After finally meeting a wonderful psychologist, the now retired Dr. Jean Mundy of 13th Street in Greenwich Village, to explore, through hypnosis, my West Orange and Grail episodes in mid-1988, I was set on seeing the movie "LOST HORIZON" after the session.
I had never seen it on the big screen. It happened to be playing at the now-gone Theatre 80 St. Marks on St. Marks Place in the East Village, so I walked over there after my session with Dr. Mundy.
It just so happens, of course, that actor Richard Gere, who played journalist John Klein in the "Mothman Prophecies" movie is a Buddhist and is active with The Tibet House here in New York City.
With our CONTACT, new possibilties have emerged and "Event Horizons" and "Lost Horizons" and "The Lost Mansion" and "The Grail" have come together at Avalon, the 19th Hole Pub and in Wonderland.
When I was a shy lad of ten, I was in the Boy Scouts for just about a week. Never could tie those knots. But what stuck with me was the phrase:
BE PREPARED.
Now, it's Just In Time........
And also, BE KIND.

By Harold Egeln, NYC
Coming home tonight, walking towards my apartment building after coming off the R (as in Rabbit) subway train after eight, the CHESHIRE CAT MOON shined bright in the southwest sky, surrounded by stars.
"Cheshire Cat Moon?" Alice would ask.
Oh, that is what I call the Crescent Moon, because it looks like the white toothy grin of the Cheshire Cat when the cat is invisible, I would reply.
The Cheshire Cat Moon first appeared over the city's horizon, blotted out by sunlight and clouds, at 9:06 this morning as the Earth rolled around and the Moon came into view. I had just gotten up, ready for "A Day In Wonderland."
The plan included meeting a friend to see a puppet play of "Alice In Wonderland" in Brooklyn, followed soon afterwards by a visit to the Alice In Wonderland Statue by the Boat Pond in Central Park, and finishing at Alice's Tea Cup cafe and store on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
By the time I was walking home enjoying the sight of the beautiful bright Cheshire Cat Moon, which would roll out of view at 9:43, our own Adventures in Wonderland went beyond our plans, mapped on a roadway of synchronicties once again, emerging unexpectedly as usual.
THE PUPPET SHOW
After a meal at the Purity restaurant in Park Slope, Brooklyn, we walked down toward the small Puppetworks theater for its own production of Lewis Carroll's "Alice In Wonderland," adopted for marionettes by Nicolas Coppola, Puppetworks artistic director, and Adam Kilgour. with parts of "Through the Looking Glass."
On our way through the beautiful Park Slope community to the theater. located at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Fourth Street we had our first SYNC on that avenue at Fifth Street.
For at that corner we had our WILLIAMS SYNC again, the name of attorney J. WILLIAMS and the law firm of Graham and Graham. I took my first photos of the day, which I would do again and again and again later.
The puppet play was wonderful, enchanting, charming and delighful! There was original music composed by George Brackman, arranged by Bruce Haack, with additional music from Michael Praetorius and Benjamin Britten, two of my favorite composers.
The marionettes were designned b Coppola, with absolutely excellent stage sets by Kevin Frisch and sound and lighting by Terry Alan Smith. We had so much fun, being among mostlychldren and their parents. On "the way out" we had a delightful talk with the souvenior Boutique manager, and bought an Alice In Wonderland JIGSAW Book, a PINOCCHIO marionette and some post cards.
Puppetworks was founded in 1938, the year of Orson Wells "War of the Worlds" radio show.
After having ice cream, we headed by subway into Manhattan, taking the Q (as in Queen of Hearts) subway train. We had to exit the subway early to make a rest stop at UNION Square.
AT UNION SQUARE
Getting off the R train, we headed upstairs into the underground passage way where we run into a Puppeteer getting ready to do a show! Her name is PUPPETSKIA, and she was setting up her show with two Marionettes, one WHITE and the other mostly BLACK. She stands in front of a subway station ELEVATOR (Elevators and "Lifts" being recurrent images in encounter-explorers "dreams.")
SYNC #2! Amazed at seeing a puppeteer so soon after the Puppetworks "Alice" show, I snap some photos and then we headed out, realizing the importance of UNION, as in Union Square the name of the park above the subway station. UNION seems to be a word meaning here "the Union of Contact, the Union of Other Intelligences and Humans."
After our rest stop, we headed to Park Avenue South to catch a Madison Avenue bus towards Central Park. Up the block from the bus stop was SYNC #3....
The Park AVALON Restaurant, between East 18th and 19th Streets, linking in with the AVALON Motel in the Mothman movie and last week's Avalon Travel Agency and all the associations with that!
And only a few blocks from The Friends Quaker Meeting House, such as the place where Gary was having his UFO group's meeting that day in England.
We happened to board an M-3 bus, (which last stop was the CLOISTERS, a transported medieval complex owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.)
The CLOISTERS SYNC (#4), involved the term used by an "Invisible College" SETI professional who recenly wrote me how "Other Intelligences" with shared group-communal consciousness connect with arrays of "Human Cloisters," as he put it, and that it was necessary for us to identify other such "Cloister of Humans Arays" to move CONTACT forward.
AT THE ALICE IN WONDERLAND STATUES
After discussing the Park AVALON Restaurant SYNC, we board the M3 Cloisters-bound, getting off in the East 70's to get into Central Park Boat Pond's area. The temperature is warm, feeling about 60, so the grand park is filled as we make our way to the Alice In Wonderland statue at the north end of the Boat Pond.
The statues, which include giant bronze or cooper colored figures of Alice, The White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Dormouse, is crawling with children, as usual. I snapped some pictures. The statue was financed and donaed by the DelaCourts in 1939, the year after Puppetsworks was founded.
And then we sit, looking at the Alice In Wonderland JIGSAW Book, and we head over to the west side of the Boat Pond, designed for little motorized boats and children's sail boats.
While heading towards the Hans Christian Anderson statue, we notice a rather large black telescope at the southwest edge of the pond.
THE SPACE TELESCOPE AND WINGS
I get excited as SYNC #5 becomes evident. A telescope equals space (SPACE)! That suddenly and unexpectedly fits into the SYNC Equation. There are many people taking turns looking into the telescope, a Meade LX200 EMC.
Since it is after four o'clock and it's daytime, we assume that they looking at a planet in the daytime sky. Wrong. They are looking at a RED-WINGED HAWK, sitting on one of two large TV antennas atop a large apartment building.
I take a gander into the telescope and clearly see the magnificent giant RED-WINGED HAWK. The telescope is there as part of a birdwatchers event.
Then the associations are made: The Wonderland Statue setting -- RED WINGED relating to the Winged Mothman and Red related to the Mothman's RED EYES -- the two TV antennas relating to the two TV-Radio Transmitters atop two worlds, as illustrated at the beginning of the Homepage of this SPACE website -- COMMUNICATION -- and, being near the statue of Hans Christian Anderson, the Danish fairy tale writer who was first published in a Copenhagen NEWSPAPER.
THE RAMBLES
We then strolled through Central Park to get to the West 72nd Street exit to get to ALICE's TEA CUP cafe and store. But we turn a bit northwest and wind-up in the Park's Rambles, winding paths on hills and going over small bridges such as the BOW BRIDGE.
Passing a pond I notice what looks like a small RED bridge or ladder horizontal between two trees. It reminds me of the little RED BRIDGE, with the two tiny space alien figurines on it, that toppled from my Bamberger's (Macy's) artificial Christmas tree several nights ago.
That was the tree I just happened to buy in DECEMBER 1967- the month of the collapse of the SILVER bridge over the OHIO River at the climax of "The Mothman Prophecies." The night my tree toppled, the SILVER Aluminum Tree also collapsed. So, we have yet another SYNC, #6
There's More. Of Course, Alice.
Because we rambled a wee bit out of the way, we came out of the park at the southeast corner of the American Musuem of Natural History at West 79th Street and Central Park West. The museum's planetarium is two blocks up, where I placed my first new "Alice In Wonderland" story about "Spacer Rabbit" in the year 2012.
We were on the other side of THE LOOKING GLASS. SYNC #7.
We journey down Central Park West to visit ALICE's TEA CUP Cafe and Shoppe, located at 102 West 73rd Street off Columbus Avenue.
I snap some photos and then enter the charming and magical Englishside Wonderland of Alice's Tea Cup, founded by two sisters, Haley and Lauren FOX.
We wander through the store, with its many varities of tea, tea cups and pots, and Alice In Wonderland items and books. In the back is the cafe. I ask to see a menu. The items are fabulous and the prices just right. The cafe is packed. As I try to place the menu back, it falls through a slot three times, and I tell the amused waiter that it must be going through a Rabbit Hole.
I will return another time to sample the menu. I buy some figurines of Alice (three) and the White Rabbit (three) for just $5 and introduce myself to Haley FOX.
I tell her of my interest in Things Wonderland and that I am a journalist for two Brooklyn newspapers. But I say that I am working on an article about ALICE IN WONDERLAND places around the city, which I am doing separate from my regular newspaper work. She gives me her card so I can set up an interview.
I show her the playbill for the Puppetworks "Alice" marionette show and she gets excited. "My sister and I have to see that!" she says. I mention nothing about SPACE.
Then my friend and I walk out, heading down the block and around the corner to Amsterdam Avenue for dinner at the UTOPIA Restaurant, the same block where last February 2001's SYNCS happened involving the mystery man asking us about Daylight Savings Time, which would begin then on April Fool's Day.
On the way to Utopia, people at a large party store were just beginning to place Easter bunnies and items in the store window.
At the restaurant we site at a booth with mirrors behind both of us, creating an affect of mirrors reflecting mirrors. We are in a LOOKING GLASS WORLD.

By Harold Egeln, NYC
I came home ENCHANTED on Saturday evening from the day's "Adventure's In Wonderland," looking at the CHESHIRE CAT Crescent Moon grinning in the early nighttime sky.
Today, I headed back into Manhattan to meet two Spacers for lunch in the East Village and to catch up on talk about train dreams and associated material.
We also talked about a public forum based on the Mothman movie with John Keel and somebody from the movie, perhaps Richard Gere himself. But, of course, again, as in a refrain, not expecting Synchronicties, they happened again.
I passed the site of the old Theatre 80 St. Marks, the once famous but now gone revival movie theater on St. Mark's Place where I saw the great "LOST HORIZON" movie about Shangri-La the Utopia in the mountains of TIBET as I began the exploration of my close encounters with Dr. Jean Mundy back in July 1988.
The theater is now home to The Pearl Theatre Company. It's current production is "The PHANTOM Lady," by Pedro Calderon de la Barca, the famous 17th Century playwriter considered his nation's WILLIAM Shakespeare. Of his 300 plays, "LIFE IS A DREAM" is his greatest. "The Phantom Lady" was made into a movie in ARGENTINA, which connects with one of the Spacers I was to meet for lunch.
A MARIONETTE SYNC
Across from the theater I notice STROMBOLI Pizzeria. Stromboli is the name of the Puppeteer who "The Great STROMBOLI Marionette Show" in Collodi's PINOCCHIO story. In the story, Stromboli ABDUCTED innocent Pinocchio, who was rescued by THE BLUE FAIRY.
The Pinocchio story figured into the climax of Steven Spielberg's "A.I." (Artifical Intelligence") last year, which we've discussed withn the Breakthrough pages here.
As I notice that, I am thinking of the state lawmaker I visited the other day who has a great interest in All Things Pinnochio.
At that precise moment a blue van pulls up in front of Stromboli's Pizzera, stopping for a red light on First Avenue. I am startled to read the address on the little delivery van. It's a CROPSEY AVENUE address. To get to the lawmakers office on Friday, I took a bus that travels across Cropsey Avenue, which begins on the southern end of the Dyker Beach Golf Course.
I am amazed by how this SYNC happened. Theatre 80 St. Marks -- "Lost Horizon" -- "The PHANTOM Lady" and "Life Is A DREAM" plays -- Stromboli the Pizzeria and the Pincchio connection -- the Cropsey Avenue and its associations, ETC.
After a productive and enlightening lunch with my two friends from SPACE, I take a slow stroll back towards the subway station.
WOWS-VILLE MEETS LOST HORIZONS
On Second Avenue, between St. Mark's Place (Eighth Street) and Seventh Street I notice a record store called "WOWS-VILLE!" right next to a HIMALAYAN VISION Tibetan Store.
What a wonderful, charming and ever so timely synchronicity! I snap some photographs and enter the Tibetean Store, in an enchanted mood, thinking of our WOW! CONTACT, the "LOST HORIZON" movie which began my enconter adventure explorations in 1988, and of the actor Richard Gere, star of the Mthman movie and a Buddhist.
As I walk into the store, my head turns left to a CD section and I immediately notice a CD album called "SYCHRONICITY -- Contempary Meditation by Master Charles."
I am absolutely awed and happy about this literal SYNC. Out of respect for the store, I did not take a picture inside. And since I had not enough money to buy the CD, I popped out my trusty pocket notebook to jot down the album title, and to make note of the sync as it happened.
"Mister, YOU CAN"T DO THAT!"
Startled, I turned to see what was happening i the store, thinking there was a shoplifter there. BUT it was a store employee who shouted that at me. Confused and startled by his unexpected remark, he mumbled something about his concerns about MONEY, apparently thinking I was a businessman taking notes of the store's merchandise for my own gain!!!
My HAPPY MOMENT instantly crumbled into depression and I just wanted to leave this very mean planet I am trapped on. And here I was in what I though was a good place, I thought. The irony of this was that when the Dali Lama was forced to flee Tibet in 1959 by the Chinese government, an event I remember very well, I was deeply concerned, as my first interest in nonviolence and peaceful ways came to be.
Because of the government's repression of Tibet, which distressed me as a boy so much, I wrote a poem in 1960 called "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" about the cruel treatment of the Tibetans, using those words to describe China's repression.
Now, 42 years after I wrote that poem, and in a moment of extreme happiness, a man shouts at me "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" I explain to him, hoping he would listen and believe me, that I am a reporter and am working on things that might involve actor Gere.
And then I explain that I want to buy the CD at a future date at this store when I have the money, hence I was making a written note of it (and of the sync, which i did not mention to him.)
This event proved to me that meanness and money profits rule this planet, and it will never change. Of course, I forgave the man, in private, for I found great love for him despite the harm he caused me -- not wanting to deal then with hostile humans. In a deep funk, I had a depressing ride home on the subway after the third unpleasant incident within a week, which included being called "a creep," all in which I was the innocent victim.
When I got off the subway station again, I did not look up to see the Cheshire Cat Moon, engulfed in sadness about how people treat on another on this planet of violence and greed. So I bought a chocolate cake, intending to eat the whole thing.
I later rallied and did many creative things inside my playland apartment.

On February 10th I atttended a beautiful organ recital at an historic Lutheran church here in Brooklyn, with the organist being a famous musician from a church in Manhattan. I wrote an article announcing the concert, which featured Romantic Age classical composers such as J.S. Bach, Felix Mendelssohn and Edward Elgar, among others.
Early this morning I started to write my newspaper review of the concert and was writing about Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D," which was featured in the movie animation masterpiece "FANTASIA" by Walt Disney in 1940.
To get the dates of Mendessohn's life, I went to our trusty 1,550-page "American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language -- New College Edition," printed in 1976 by Houghton Mifflin Company in Boston. After getting the information, I close the dictionary.
Suddenly I get very curious about the word "FANTASIA." I get the huge dictionary out again and immediately open to the C section with a page featuring TWO illustrations of the CHESHIRE CAT!!!
Wow! How can these SYNCS happen so often and in the perfect context???
The margin drawings are "details from illustrations by Sir John Tenniel for Lewis Carroll's Alices's Adventures in Wonderland," one showing the cat in full visibility, the other just its grin and a wee bit of its face. I am amazed how it can JUST HAPPEN that I opened to Page 231 while looking for the word FANTASIA? Especially in the context of the last few days!
I feel like I am actor Jesse White, "Mr. Wilson" in the 1951 movie "Harvey" reading the dictionary description of a mischievous pooka and the words "...and how are you, Mr. Wilson?" are magically inserted into the defination.
I magically come immediately to the word FANTASIA: "A free form composition. structured according to the composer's fancy. A medley of familiar themes, with variations and interludes." (from the Italian PHANTASIA).
That pretty well states the way things are "hoppening" here in this WOW! CONTACT Adventure, folks!!!
Also, a "FANTAST" is "a visionary, dreamer," ("from 'PHANTAZEIN,' a Medieval Latin word meaning "to make visible.") Such as the fictional title "THE VISIBLE DARK" by the fictional Professor Alexander Leek in the Mothman movie.

While we are so focused on the imagery, symbolism and themes of "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" which are a pattern within our Contact, if we put Lewis Carroll before the Looking Glass, who do we see?
Why, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Carroll's real name, and the scholarly mathematician he was. In 1854 he was appointed as Mathematical Lecturer at Christ Church College in Oxford.
During his career in mathematics and logic, he published many scholarly books, the most famous being "Euclid and His Modern Rivals" (1879). Other books and papers included "A New Theory On Parallels," "Tangled Tale," "Mathematical Problems Thought Out," Pillow Problems," "Grills," and "The Game of Logic."
Recently we were given, through SYNCS in a shopping mall bookstore, references within a SYNC Cluster Episode to PRINCETON University Mathematics Professor John Forbes Nash, Jr., the 1994 Noble Prize Winner in Economics, the subject of Sylvia Nasar's book "A Beautiful Mind" and the current award-winnng movie based on the book.
Like fellow 19th Century mathematician Dodgson, Nash had another side to his life, --- through what is considered the distorted looking glass of schizophrenia, from which he later largely recovered. Carroll's fantasies were delightful stories brilliantly written, arising out of an incredibly creative imagination. Nash's delusions arose from other creative forces in attempts to deal with life's conflicts, causing destructive influences upon himself and others.
Some encounter explorers contend that Dodgson/Carroll had some form of close encounter experiences which partly engendered his Wonderland stories.
Nash claimed communications from extraterrestrials, a knowledge obtained through the same methods of his obvious mathematical genius.
For SETI astronomers, Mathematics would be a key component to noticing a Confirmed intelligent otherworldy WOW! Signal, separating it from random radio noises throughout space.
To put it simple, we again return to Carl Sagan's "Contact." When Dr. Arroway's SETI team picks up suspicious signals from Vega, she explains:
"Finally, what seems to be sent is a long sequence of prime numbers, integers that can't be divided by themselves and one. No astrophysical process is likely to generate prime numbers...This looks like the real thing."
Now, we do not seem to be getting prime numbers, as expected, because we have the nosensical math of Wonderland, which may make sense there not here. So we are getting:
GOBS OF MATHEMATICS IN THE MESSAGES:
THE MATH OF SYNCHRONICITIES!
This fact is extremely important, underlined many, many times. The statistical odds of the numbers of the types, themes, occurrances, symbols and cluster of synchronicties must be analyzed by the best mathematicians.
For they seem incredicably rich in information and new knowledge!
It has been there all along, hardly mentioned throughout this Contact Material. Our STATS TABLE, currently in bad need of updating, can be used for the study, once fully updated. Otherwise, a mathematician can study all that is here and calculate the odds against all these SYNCS happening, especially in the way they do.
There is the MATH in this CONTACT, a factor being overlooked.
Perhaps there is something within that math that has some Mathematical Meaning, perhaps a New Form of MATH as expressed with synchronstic and associated material! A math to help us comprehend the Invisible Universe.
Given this CONTACT, YOU CAN COUNT ON IT!

In his book "The Mothman Prophecies" author and journalist John A. Keel sees and states the problem of this research clearly, back in 1975:
"You can't learn the truth by chasing UFOs helter-skelter through the skies in planes...It is vain to hire astronomers. They are not trained in the kind of disciplines needed to investigate earthly phenomena, or even to interview earthly witnesses."
"INTERVIEWING IS AN ADVANCED ART, THE PROVINCE OF JOURNALISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS." (Our emphasis here)
"One does not hire a parachutist to go spelunking in a cave or a balloonist to go diving for treasure. If you need a brain surgeon you don't hire a horticulturist who spent (a) life trimmining plants."
(To put his comments in context, Keel is talking about the government's approach to the UFO situation here. But I see it applying in a wider context.- H. Egeln)
"I realized the folly of trying to measure the circle from some distant point, so I picked a microcosm on the edge of the circle -- a place where many strange manifestations" ("Mothman," etc.) "were occuring SIMULTANEOUSLY."
Which seems somewhat applicable to our CONTACT situation AT HAND NOW.
In his most recent book, ""THE A.T. FACTOR: PIECE OF A JIGSAW III: A SCIENTIST'S ENCOUNTER WITH UFOS," (Adventures Unlimited Press, Kempton, Illinois, USA, August 2001) British inventor Leonard Cramp mentions SYNCHRONICITY, as well as precognitive or prophetic DREAMS and their importance:
"Should there be any remaining doubt about the reality of synchronicity and/or foresight, there are other worthwhile sources of information," he writes on page 353. "...in my case the events in this book are in themselves of relatively little significance, while the NUMBER of them spread over a LIFETIME renders the numerical chance odds 'explaination' rather tiresomely thin.".
We have a similiar situation, only compressed over a shorter period of "time and space," with an array of SYNC CLUSTERS that defy the odds.
We need skilled MATHEMATICIANS to study the events described on these pages and come up with the mathematical odds statistics about them.
We also need serious journalists to come together and form an informal "FOURTH ESTATE OF THE CLOSE ENCOUNTER KIND" --- such as Terry Hansen ("Missing Times"), C.D. Bryan ("Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind"), Howard Blum ("Out There), and Ed Conroy ("Report On Communion"), among others, known and unknown. And I, as a longtime journalist, would be willing to do the networking to get the ball rolling.
In the meantime, our website is near full to capacity with information freely offered to the general public, SETI and UFO researchers and experencers, scientists, media professionals, and that brings us to the words:
"BE PREPARED."
As demonstrated by our own CONTACT Reports, "CONTACT" is far more complex and convoluted that can every be imagined! And, at times, lots of FUN!
"There is nothing so powerful as truth, and often nothing so strange," said Daniel Wenster, as quoted by John Keel in his "Mothman" book.
So, now and here, at this point, on February 20, 2002, (2-2-2002), as we begin our10th anniversary this month, S.P.A.C.E. becomes the:
"Search Project for Aspects of Cosmic Ecology."
ENJOY!

New York City, February 21, 2002 -- Yesterday (Feb. 20) at work after writing a feature article about a city chapter meeting of a national grassroots organization advocating major human exploration of space, I go over to our newspaper's proof-reader to let her know that my story is now in the PROOF File for her to read.
As I come up to her, on her computer screen is a story headline, "What TIME Is It?", a crime short written by another reporter. My story ID is called "SPACE." I tell her that space and time have come together! "As they should," she replies with a laugh. I RARELY write stories about space in the thousands of articles I have written siince the 1980s, and since I wrote a story about Whitley Strieber's then-secretary Lorie Barnes and her close encounters in October 1989, I have not been allowed to write UFO stories unless I make them funny, which I refuse.
This article is titled, 'To The Stars!' Says Space Travel Leader, an in-depth story of a local Brooklyn resident who is president of a space advoactes group -- not at all connected with UFOs, but the nation's own space program!
I find the "timing" of this curious, and on a day that marked the 40th anniversary of John Glenn's historic flight making the U.S.'s first orbital flight back on February 20, 1962. And that, on that ver day, at 8:02 p.m. a unique number arises in time: 20:02 p.m. on 2-20-2002. But I brush it off as an interesting coincidence because thought it not worth mentioning.
Until today. Of course.........
*NSYNC star will be *NSPACE
That is the headline in today's "New York Post" on page nine, about "*NYSNC star Lance Bass may be shooting for the stars this November. The teen idol is in talks with Russian officials for a trip to outer space on the Soyuz rocket, his agent revealed," the lead paragraphs state.
The story, from wire services, tells of Bass's boyhood dream of going into space and the trip would cost $25-million.
"Bass, it seems, has been fascinated by space travel since he attended Space Camp near Titusville, Florida at the age of 12," the article says. The thrilled pop super-star of the worldwide, wildly popular *NSYNC music group will probably go on a weeklong mission to the International Space Station this Autumn.
I found this *NSYNC-*NSPACE synchronicity so very fascinating, especially after yesterday. If only there was a "WILLIAMS" on the front page! I think.
I am astonished at the huge front page story in today's Post: "Post EXCLUSIVE -- BIG SHOT -- REVEALED: Jayson WILLIAMS' gunpaly SECRETS," a story about a former basketball star (I'm not a sports fan, so I never head of him. I am a *NYSNC fan, however, so I know of James Lance Bass.)
The WILLIAMS article (nothing about space) continues on PAGE 8, across Page 9, where the short article about *NSYNC-*NSPACE appears.
I put certain words in the N.Y. Post in BOLD letters to emphasize our remarkable sync here: EXCLUSIVE -- BIG SHOT -- REVEALED -- WILLIAMS' -- SECRETS.
Dwelling on today, I realize that S.P.A.C.E. and its associates, such as Gary in Egland among many others, have an EXCLUSIVE story to tell, -- that of a most remarkable "CONTACT."
And with PROOF, as yesterday's Time-Space-Newspaper SYNC incident tells us.
The Exclusive story was given (as a GIFT??) to a Professional Working Journalist (although I am not a star reporter nor good writer) to POST on the WORLD WIDE WEB, as the "CONTACT" has REVEALED SECRETS.
And all around SYNCS through SPACE, with a lot of WILLIAMS who multiplied like RABBITS since June 12, 2000, when this all began.
Oh, there's more, of course, but I must stop now to cover a news assignment this evening, a Town Hall on TRANSPORTATION...
So I can't be late for a very important date....
By Harold Egeln, Feb. 21, 2002
I am back from my evening news assignment, a Town Hall meeting about Brooklyn-NYC ferry service, featuring the NYC Commissioner for the Department of Transportation, who is the wife of New York Senator Charles Schumer and other top DOT officials. I took my notes with my BIC UFO pen (best way to travel--UFO, that is) and took a lots of photos.
On my walk home, I am thinking of the Clark Kent - S.P.A.C.E.-man double life I lead, and how I separate them, keeping them worlds apart, for my own job security. I walk back home through the beauiful tree-lined neighborhood steets I live in and gazing up at the sky lit by bright stars over the Alantic Ocean, I wonder, in frustration, why no one is really paying attention to our CONTACT material and "THE PROOF" we have.
Even Ufologists do not, for the most part, comprehend it, going so far as to dismiss or ignore it, with some removing SPACE from their Links, cutting people off from our reports. Some in the SETI community seem to understand much of it, but they would have tough hurdles to have their fine and sharp colleagues understand this. Are we wasting our TIME?
I come home, make a late dinner and suddenly, before getting back to my writing here, feel compeled to watch part of Steven Spielberg's 1977 movie "Close Encounters," so I plop in the tape, which I notice is in mid-movie position. So....
....LET'S GO THE THE VIDEOTAPE
Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is fighting with his wife, as he's in anquish over the torturingly repeating images he seems obsessed with. He comes out of the bathroom. On the wall there appears, at first glance, images what looks like Alice and the White Rabbit and Red Queen from Alice In Wonderland. Upon closer examination, it appears that they are not.
Neary falls asleep in the TV and family play room, in front of the sclupture of a mountain that he's been working on. He awakens to the TV set on, and there's a Bugs BUNNY cartoon, as Bugs plays "Duck Dodgers" doing battle with the Martian cartoon character.
Yeah, it's all not worth it, Neary thinks, ripping down all his UFO articles. The scene show his Pinocchio music box spinning, playing "When You Wish Upon A Star" set on his model TRAIN set by a toy TRAIN BRIDGE.
As he attempts to destroy his sculpture, he breaks off the top, and starring at it, thinks, "That's It!" not yet releazing it's Devils Tower, the repeating synchronistic image he and other close encounter witness have been implanted with (somewhat like our RABBITS).
His wife and children leave him. He is now alone in the family TV room, with a much bigger Tower mountain. Then I notice an array of three TRIANGLES grouped together on the wall by his glass door. The arrangement looks familiar.
I check out Page 8 of this website and Gary's first photo of the TRIANGULAR Lodge built in England in the 1590s near a RABBIT WARREN. On the top floor, in the left section of the image as I look at the building, there is the SAME PRECISE ARRAY of TRIANGLES as in the movie scene from 1977 -- an ASTONISHING COINCIDENCE, I think.
On the TV the theme of "The Days of Our Lives" soap opera is playing as Neary looks out the window at a normal everyday scene, then closes this curtain, through his Looking GLASS Door, apparently thinking of the contrast between the obsessive images that haunt him and the normalcy of everyday life.
Then there is an ABC-TV NEWS Bulletin with Howard K. Smith (the wonderful newscaster who just died a few days ago), about the "TRAIN Rail Wreck" near Devil's Tower. As Neary sees Devil's Tower on the TV screen, it all dawns on hi what his image is and where he must go.
Then I notice that the TV set two antennas (called "RABBIT EARS" in the U.S.) are bent down, and their tips are in front of Devil's Tower's top, with the RABBIT Ears ends, two hite orbs, resembling UFOs. I am fascinated by all this meaningfully symmetry in these movie scenes, as they relate subtly to our SYNC CONTACT.
I rewind to the beginning of the movie, with its references' to Neary's Model TRAIN set (TRAINS, as we know, being a recurrent theme with us, especially in dreams). All this I've known about in the movie before. BUT what I notice now are references to GOLF and OHIO near the movie's start -- two associations which were recently prominent in our reports here.
It's now 10:00 PM, and I turn on the TV news, and the first words I hear are "The JOURNALIST from PRINCETON," a news reportabout the killing of the Wall Street Journal reporter. I feel terrible about the man's tragic death. But I make the association with JOURNALIST and PRINCETON, given recent SYNCS over the past weekend,
In those I refer to PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, where there will be a Conference of the Lewis Carroll Society this Spring, and which is the ome campus of Math Genius John Nash, and where Gary, at his UFO group meeting this past Saturday had a fellow bring an issue of the DAILY MAIL newspaper with a feature article by Colin Wilson about a PRINCETON UNIVERSITY study on forecasts of futue events.
What Gary DOES NOT know is that a Sketch I made of a close encounter I had with a friend at a Sheridan Square restaurant here in NYC showing three "aliens" (my friend saw one carrying a TRUMPET), appears in Colin Wilson's recent book about UFOs! The incident also connects with a dream of a UFO rimmed by SEVEN TRUMPETS, as explained fully on our site's DREAM page.
Colin Wilson obtained my sketch from the FORTEAN LIBRARY in England and misidentifies it as a drawing by an abductee in Dr. John Mack's grop by Harvard University.
Curiouser and curiouser.......
DAVID LYNCH MEETS LEWIS CARROLL
|
Today I took note of the block where I saw people from a hair salon looking skyward to te area of Coney Island, seeing the two set array of triangular white lights in the sky, plus a lone white light, making for SEVEN.
That was the sighting of mid-September 1995 which gave Gary his INSIGHT in England on June 12, 2000, on the day that a SETI-related organization just happened to contact us (for different reasons). I studied the block during my lunch time today, taking photographs.
The hair salon is now a MIRROR and GLASS Factory Outlet store. The old barber pole is still there, retained from the hair salon days. The Hair Salon Sighting over Coney Island brought us to the Coneys, the old term for Rbbits or Hares. Now a MIRROR and GLASS store, we've been THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS!
Next to it is a Picture Frame store, (framing it all) followed by a card-gift shop, then another card shop, and a gift shop. Flanking the row of stores is a church at one corner (symbolizing institualized spirituality) and a government official's office (symbolizing authority).
The Mirror store, the Picture Frame, and the three card and gift shops all have windows now FILLED with RABBIT ITEMS, five stores in a row with Rabbit statutees, and all things Rabbit, as, obviously EASTER is coming soon (March 31).
Across from the row of stores are two eating places, a CIRCLES Restaurant and the 24-hour BRIDGE-VIEW Diner. Between them is a house, attached to the restaurant with a wall ad for PYRAMID Realty.
The block between the government official's office and Visitation Academy at the other end of the block, with its statue of the three children and "the lady" of Lourdes, Portugal of 1917, (perhaps a mass UFO sighting) is lined with huge, towering LONDON Pine trees, giving us our Gary-British association.
There is so much MEANING IMPLIED in this location now, that it's almost Magical (at least to me if no one else). A True Wonderland made Real within our Reality, from the Omni-Jective Outlook.
And yes, Easter Bunnies are not unsual at this time of the year. We'll have a GALAXY full of RABBITS as Easter approaches. The trick is to find which ones are the "HARVEYS" (more likely from the Invisible Universe) who can communicate with us, as SETI sweeps the billions and billions of stars for that one "WOW! Signal," there "HARVEY."
Well, folks, we have no further to search than to find CONTACT not necessarily from "Out There" but from "In Here."
We have a lot on our plates (our Saucers) here, and, with, a sip from Alice's Tea Cup, we look at the words of Lewis Carroll and the stuation we find ourselves in......

"MY OWN VIEW OF LIFE IS THAT IT'S NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVINCE ANYBODY OF ANYTHING." -- from a letter by Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) |

---- Source of quote: "The Mathematical Manuscripts of Lewis Carroll" by WARREN WEAVER, The Princeton University Library Chronicle, XVI -1954-55, pages 4-9, as published in "Alice in Wonderland- Lewis Carroll -- Authoritive Texts of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, Through The Looking-Glass, The Huntting of the Snark, (with) Backgrounds (and) Essays in Criticism," edited by Donald Gray of Indiana University, W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., New York, 1971. |
By Harold Egeln, February 22, 2002
We have been given all "the PROOF" of our "CONTACT" needed for a fuller, deeper and wider investigation for others to pursue with and independent of SPACE, given their own choices.
This CONTACT-COMMUNICATION will continue and we will experience more SYNCS, with Rabbits, Williams, Sightings and a whole lot more, arranged in different settings and ways, as the Information Loop of Contact keeps going on and on.
"Sceptics may laugh at what we have here, but when all of its is out and laid on the table, the MESSAGE-INFORMATION will be well above chance odds," wrote Gary in England yesterday. "So much so, that COMMUNICATION cannot be ruled out."
Critical thinking is essential in our situation. But criticism of a personal nature is like Kryptonite, weakening our resolve, designed to undermine our confidence, creating fear and doubt, - destruction.
We are not trying to CONVINCE others of the overwhelming reality of this Contact. We are, however, trying to convince people to pay attention to it, especially in scientific circles, as well as in ufology.
So, we are now embarking on a vigorous campaign to get this EXCLUSIVE NEWS of CONTACT OUT, which requires much time and effort, while operating under the restraints of normal working life (paying bills, taking showers, going out for a nice breakfast) beyond the time and effort it takes to log this INFORMATION for review.
The first part is to appeal to visitors to our site, who understand and support this CONTACT situation, to do their bit by PRINTING OUT and MAKING COPIES of the leaflet on our Homepage, distributing to places as we suggest.
We need to reach the PUBLIC. The group of newspapers I work for reach far more people in one week than this website has reached in two years. We appreciate EVERYONE who has visited us and value your interest very much, and hope you may be able to help.
"Part of it (the Communication) was written in the past for our future, which is NOW," writes Gary yesterday. We know that, of course, as partly documented on our "WOW!" pages. It was re-enforced today when I passed that row of storefronts I mentioned yesterday.
I unwittingly left one store out, an ANTIQUES shop between the picture frame store and the first card/gift shop. Of course, like the other five stores on that block, its windows, too, are filled with RABBITS for Easter. The ANTIQUES store associates with what Gary says about part of the Communication being written in the past for us TODAY. (And the church at the corner has TRINITY in its name.)
In placing these reports here, we have lost some good support, gained new supporters, and puzzled a great deal of our website visitors, which is expected when an Otherwordly Prescence makes itself known through allegories, stories, recurrent images and themes, and more.
Humans tend to PROJECT their human perspectives on material that appears "alien" to their experience.Those projections may lead to belief systems as that can be understood by human minds. So, HOW we DEAL with our CONTACT says much about HUMANS, and from that we can learn much about ourselves.
But we seem to be dealing with something DISTINCTLY NONHUMAN which appears to be VERY AWARE of OUR HUMANITY through ways we can ony speculate about it. CONTACT has always been here, it seems, -- in many diverse forms, -- but here we have a SPIKE, a HUGE ONE, in That Contact now at play.
With limited resources -- no academic base, without the necessary tools to do what we should be doing with all this -- we have to try our very best.... and QUICKLY and WIDELY.
I well remember a front page story in the NY Times, I think in 1967, about a signal from farout in space that appeared to be a beacon of an an intelligent civilization, because of rapid pulses, the number of which predictable. I turned out to be the first discovery of a PULSAR, an apparent extraordinary natural object in the universe.
Does out CONTACT represent a similar phenomena? But one which is a NATURAL HIGH INTELLIGENCE ( or a NATURAL SYSTEM for Other Intelligences to Express Themselves to Us and Others? -- like the Tunnel Wormhole Travel System wriiten by Carl Sagan in "Contact" ) occuring all around us which we can loop into and enjoy and learn from?
While part of "the Mystery" of Close Encounters has been SOLVED, showing it to be part of a wider COSMIC ECOLOCY, there remain even MORE QUESTIONS! As usual.
By Harold Egeln, NYC, February 26, 2002
The title above introduces the last section of a feature "Science Times" article by famous science reporter John Noble Wilford that appeared three years ago in "The New York Times" on Feb. 9, 1999, pages F1 and F9.
The article, "New Findings Help Balance the Cosmological Books" reported on the highlights of on a six-day "summit conference on the universe, (with) the world's leading cosmologists" in Chicago focusing on new research.
In the particular section with the reference to "rabbits" cosmologists talked about the "anthropic principle," a term created in 1974 by Bristish cosmologist Dr. Brandon Carter, looking at the fact that since life exists on Earth, and given the makeup of stars and galaxies everywhere, the essentials for llfe may exist throughout the "inflationary universe", and beyond with an infinite number of universes created all the time.
"Conceiving of an inflation that cannot produce bubbles of new universes many times, Dr. (Alan) Guth (of MIT) said, seemed 'as implausible as discovering a species of rabbits incapable of reproduction.' -- He paused. 'So universes reproduce like rabbits.' From the front row, Dr. Rocky Kolb of the University of Chicago piped in, 'You mean, pull it out of the hat.' -- 'O.K., I'll look for a different analogy some other time,' Dr, Guth responded." -- (from the Times article)
The use of the RABBIT image, so familiar to us here in this Contact is not so far out, as it was used as a symbol at the Pritzker Symposium and Workshop on the Status of Inflationary Cosmology, the title of the conference.
Are our RABBITS telling us that there are countless sources of intelligences in countless universes and worlds, able to interface with us? And that a grouping or convergence of such hyper-consciousness has made our Contact possible? Were "they" aware of this conference, pre-2000 Breakthrough, and the reference to Rabbits?
They have certainly displayed an intimate knowledge of Lewis Carrol's "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland," perhaps, in some way evoking their reality into the furtile and creative genius of Carroll.
Last night I was visiting the Carl Jung Foundation Center website, and for the first time I took notice of the webmaster. His name is Doald WILLIAMS, a Jungian analyst in Boulder, Colorado. If figures.
The apparent crafting of this contact continues to astound me, as the synchronicities are far way beyond chance coincidence and seem so well planned and orchestrated. But I feel at home with this, since it makes perfect sense to me.
When the first great wave of UFO sighting reports came swept the world 1947, after centuries of occasional reports, everyone talked about the craft, greeting reports with skepticism. As were the landing reports of the 1950s, and the occupant reports of the 1960s, and the "abductions" of the 1980s, and so forth, on and on.
The whole subject of evidential claims of Dark Matter and Dark Energy, composing most of the universe, apart from close encounter experiences, is now being hotly debated with fierce arguments among those making the claims and those attacking them.
What we share with you is just as controversial. And we stick by our claims, as the evidence and proof is overwhelming, although the interest in it is largely insubstanial so far. The Contact helps us gain deep insight and knowledge into cosmology, ufology and the human condition and its creative potential, and, perhaps, where we go next with all of this.

(A minor correction and clarification first: The Yellow Bunny on the van that I saw recently, well the number is 1-877-MY BUNNY, not1-800. And the book by best-selling author COLIN WILSON, in which I mention the drawing I made appearing in it's photo section, is titled "ALIEN DAWN -- AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CONTACT EXPERIENCE" published by Fromm International, NYC, 1998. He just wrote a two-part article in the "Daily Mail" on precognitive dreams and senses. And now, its seems "NSYNC's Lance Bass will not make a space trip, according to Russian space officials today.) |

Since our last entry a few weeks ago, the Contact, Communication, Coincidences and Confirmation continue, which is no surprise.
This incidents will be described on a page in our SPACE EXPLORER ORBITZINE or through a new website devoted to all this. It is still a REPEATING PATTERN (a criteria for SETI confirmation, although not received through radio telescopes) but in different presentations and places, and with people "new" to us.
We have gotten some sigificant new comments and observations from other learned sources, such as Dr. Remo Roth in Zurich, Switzerland (see his website on Close Encounters of the Synchronicity Kind page), and we will be sharing those with you on the Orbitzine or new website.
We thank Dr. Gibbs Williams for uncovering the following article today from the "E.L.F. Infested Spaces -- Journal of Possible Paradigms," Issue #3, Summer 1995 which gets into a remarkable discussion of "UFOs Po Rabbits: Synchronicities & Symbols of Meaning" a full five years before our High Strangeness episodes.
Our visitors who have followed "The WOW! Breakthrough" may find this very, very interesting:
