The Falcon Project - William has done many types of jobs in his life, but gold-mining has always been the one he enjoyed the most. He has always loved camping out in the wilderness near a creek or a river, where he could live high in peaceful solitude, surrounded by beauty. One night in the summer of 1997, William was camped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, when he watched a large creature wandering down the side of a canyon, then walked up to my tent at such close range, he could have touched it, and then walked on . For the next twelve years William became obsessed with researching, and thinking of a way to film this magnificent creature in it's own environment. As he began to read about other encounters, William was surprised to hear that he was not alone in this endeavour, and he has learned from the problems encountered by other researchers. He finally came up with the idea of using a 35 foot, custom-made remote-controlled, dual airship with an extremely quiet engine and the latest technology in thermal imaging. William has a partner, Jason Valenti, who is also a bigfoot researcher. - www.bigfoot24-7.com

Numerology - Richard Andrew King is a Renaissance man - author of nine books, numerologist, martial artist, poet, public speaker, singer / songwriter, spoken word artist, educator. The King's Numerology is a revolutionary new system defining, describing, and interpreting the forces comprising our lives and destinies. Harvard Ph.D., Emily Hancock, Founding Editor of Moxie Magazine states: "There can be no doubt about the validity of Richard King's research and intuitive use of numerology which goes well beyond other ancient schemes." Hunter Stowers, a New York based metaphysician, says: "It's almost as if the very Spirit of Numerology is using Richard King as an instrument to evolve this ancient science to a new level. After learning from King's numerological teaching, it is impossible to conceive of going back to that 'twilight naive and foggy' state of being where one can only guess or hint at the truths, motivations and directions of one's life that are Pre-King." Metaphysician, George Shaver, adds: "Richard King is bringing back the empowered sciences of long ago, information long since lost upon this plane." - www.RichardKing.net

Upside Down World: The Loss Of The Sacred Cosmos - Eugene Crowley, Jr., was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1944. He spent thirty-two years teaching high school English Grammar, World Literature, and Mythology in Chicago. He earned a Master's degree in General Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago. He is a former member of the Jungian Institute in Evanston, Illinois. He has traveled throughout the United States, Europe, and South America. In his first professional attempt in writing, he extends the focus of his Master's thesis, "Meaning in Life for Urban Adolescents", to adults by encouraging them to reach a level of maturity by living more harmoniously with themselves, their fellow man, and the universe. The author sees a need for an overhauling or a reinventing of Western culture with the application of the moral and wise traditions that had given the Native American Indians and ancient civilizations wholeness, order, and harmony. These cultures maintained a balance with themselves and nature. While many universities are eliminating their Classical Studies, the author sees a need in understanding the past civilizations' spiritual, psychological, and holistic approaches to life. These approaches gave them serenity and security in their connection with the universe. They knew their place in the "Big Picture". Mr. Crowley wants to share his compassion and enthusiasm in predicting what other writers are forecasting, the dawning of a new "Age of Wisdom", a Renaissance, or Enlightenment where Western man will discover his true inner nature and put it to use to serve humanity. In his compassion to help humanity by informing them of the meaning of life, Crowley encourages everyone to discover the sacredness of the Self, nature, and the universe. With these tasks completed diligently, there should be optimism for a "New Enlightenment" and the restoration of the sacred cosmos. - www.american-book.com.

Travis Walton Now Claims: ‘Aliens accidentally killed me but took my corpse onto UFO to save my life'

According to Walton, on November 5, 1975 he was working with a timber stand improvement crew in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona. While riding in a truck with six of his coworkers, they encountered a saucer-shaped object hovering over the ground approximately 110 feet away, making a high-pitched buzz. Walton claims that after he left the truck and approached the object, a beam of light suddenly appeared from the craft and knocked him unconscious. The other six men were frightened and supposedly drove away. Walton claimed that he awoke in a hospital-like room, being observed by three short, bald creatures. He claimed that he fought with them until a human wearing a helmet led Walton to another room, where he blacked out as three other humans put a clear plastic mask over his face. Walton has claimed he remembers nothing else until he found himself walking along a highway, with the flying saucer departing above him.

Walton reappeared after a five-day search. The Walton case received mainstream publicity and remains one of the best-known alien abduction stories.
