An important new statement
from Henry Deacon

___________________________

For Henry's background and for a transcript of our first interview, please click here.

A few months later, we published updates here and here. These were compilations of further information from ongoing communications we had received.

All three should ideally be read carefully before studying the further report which follows here.

_____________________________

Our last communication from Henry was on 30 March, 2007. Since then he had been totally silent, despite many efforts to re-establish contact. Prior to his last communication, he had told us that he was being 'coerced', and that he decided to cease communication with everyone.

Eight months later, we're delighted to report that we've heard from Henry again, soon after our return to Los Angeles after spending some time in Europe. His reasons for cutting off contact were multiple: he had indeed been coerced, but there were also many personal issues which influenced his decision to 'go quiet' for a while. Now, however, there are a number of factors that have motivated him to speak up once more. We salute his courage - and share his concerns.

_____________________________

The Report from Iron Mountain

For this update, Henry specifically asked us to refer again to The Report from Iron Mountain, which he spoke about in our first interview. For those unfamiliar with the document, this is the detailed report by a major think tank that was commissioned by JFK in the early 60s, briefed to focus on emerging major problems of the world in the post-war era. Although it exists more or less in its entirety, Henry was adamant that a false introduction had been added to the Report as damage control after it had been widely leaked and published as a book. The idea was then 'seeded' that it was imaginative fiction. Henry is adamant that it is not fiction.

To summarize the document is impossible in a single paragraph. The relevance to the present day is that the problem of the Earth's rapidly growing population is one of the core themes. Henry states that most of the recommendations of the think tank report have now been implemented.

Henry had been given the official document to read in a government meeting in Tucson, Arizona, in 1986, in which a high-ranking military briefing officer made this statement, in connection with the document: "There are sheep and there are wolves. We are the wolves."

_____________________________

Threats to life as we know it

Henry's reason for coming forward again is that he is concerned that we are in deep trouble. He has watched most of Dr Bill Deagle's December 2006 Grenada Forum lecture and confirmed to us that much of what he heard Bill Deagle speak about was accurate.

Some of the important information Henry gave is summarized here:

1) Stealth pathogens have been covertly deployed with the intention of reducing the world's population. Henry was aware of many other programs besides the weaponized Avian flu deployment described in detail by Bill Deagle. Weapons that are genetically selective (racial) were also mentioned. Also, "Environmental threats" he had referred to in his previous update here, were reiterated.

2) Attention should be paid to Alex Jones's documentary Endgame, which documents comprehensive and well-established plans to reduce the world's population to a manageable 500 million. (This is also reported in detail by Deagle.)

3) Naomi Wolf is accurate in her assessment of the coming threat to US democracy, brilliantly laid out in her book The End of America.

4) It is likely that there will be an economic meltdown in the very near future, starting with the dollar, then spreading to the pound and then the euro and onwards. This could happen at any time. In an extreme case, cash holdings may be next to useless. Bartering of skills and commodities might be a useful alternative for survival during those times. Water purification facilities are a good investment. Psychological/Spiritual (not religious) focus is Most important for one’s readiness.

5) A Solar CME (Corona Mass Ejection) is likely, but in Henry's words is "Russian Roulette" as whatever transpires depends on the position of the Earth in its orbit around the sun when it occurs, and also - for specific global areas - on the rotation of the Earth itself.

6) Henry suggests those with the means to do so to find a safe place as soon as possible. It should be away from coastal areas and other locations vulnerable to flooding; be away from earthquake fault zones; be away from major conurbations and population centers; ideally have at least part of the dwelling against a hillside or under the ground; and have reliable access to uncontaminated fresh water and food.

7) To protect against the EMP (electromagnetic pulse)

at might be associated with a Corona Mass Ejection or EMP devices, electronic components should be (a) wrapped first in cotton or natural cloth (an insulator) and then (b) wrapped in aluminum foil, or buried in the ground or stored in a metal container.

8) In the event of a heavy EMP, any vehicle with an electronic engine management system would be vulnerable to being rendered useless. A reliable powered vehicle to have would be a diesel-engined car or truck, old enough to contain no electronic components. Bicycles are a good asset.

9) Ham (Amateur) radio systems may be the only reliable means of communication for local and global communications. Even these systems may fail temporarily to some degree for direct, long distance communications, if the ionosphere is perturbed by HAARP-like systems or Solar activity.

10) Vitamin D3 (5000 IU per day) provides excellent cheap insurance against viral epidemics, whether natural or engineered. Dark-skinned people may require slightly higher doses. More than 5000 IU per day is not recommended on a regular basis. D3 has many additional benefits to include teleomere protection. Ten to twenty minutes of exposure to sunlight (on your skin) will generate more than enough D3, but for those who are indoors most of the day (elderly or office workers), or those who are in high-latitudes (during winters) should compensate with approx 5000 IU per day of D3.

11) Working free energy systems have been developed, in essence making use of the Casimir effect (which Henry explained would come as no surprise to most "physicists"). In general, the resulting technologies have been withheld from the public not for economic reasons such as oil interests, but because it had been judged that widely available free energy would only speed the unchecked growth of the world's population - this being regarded by the Powers that Be as the most pressing problem of our times. Due to many religious and other social constructs, addressing the population growth issue appears to have no gentle, timely, easy solution.

_____________________________

Apocalypse now?

Maybe, or maybe not. Close observers of the current global situation differ in their views and their evaluations. Many are optimistic that corners have been turned. Dan Burisch has very recently stated (November 2007) that he believes we are safely on Timeline 1 (as opposed to the catastrophic 'T2'). Others are not at all sure that we are out of the woods on all economic and geopolitical counts and fear that things may get a lot worse before they get better.

Forewarned is forearmed. For the record, Henry believes that it is almost too late to do anything whatsoever except safeguard oneself personally (especially through nondogmatic-religious, mental/emotional/spiritual preparation). It is to his credit that he has allowed us to publish this update. Those familiar with Bill Deagle's views will know that he too has said - a full year ago - that we are at "one second to midnight".

Two statements are important here:

We at Project Camelot believe that it's not too late to spread the word - if word needs to be spread. Every life saved is a gift. And it's possible that by marshaling positive intent on a widespread scale, disasters may be minimized or even averted altogether. While we're watching the situation very carefully, those who listened to Deagle's December 2006 lecture will note that nothing too bad has happened yet. If we make it through 2008 as another 'reasonably normal' year - with no nuclear detonations, terrorist attacks (real or fabricated), pandemics, or economic meltdown, then there may be good reason for renewed optimism. We live for that day.

Separately, Henry has asked us to state on his behalf that he is fiercely critical of anyone who is producing information or making money on the back of potential catastrophe by selling products or information at anything other than reasonable normal prices. (Of course, we agree.) He believes that all helpful information must be free and available to all people, with consideration given that one must weigh if what is disseminated will provide the greatest good for the overall future of humankind.

Henry states: “Be a part of nature and let go of your fears. Go with the flow. A lifetime is short. There is not much time. So Slow Down as you travel through time and enjoy each moment – the here and now.”

_____________________________

Other information

We could never have an in-depth conversation with Henry without our touching on other topics - some of them in considerable depth. It had always been that way.

• We heard more about the Mars Colony (old, multifunctional, the largest of several on the planet, almost completely underground, and occupied by many diverse groups);

• We were told that the terraforming of Mars has begun;

• Global warming is natural and not created by human activities. It is well known that all of the planets are in a state of global warming during this period. The destruction of the world’s forests are of great concern to Henry.

• Henry confirmed that David Wilcock's contact 'Daniel' was fairly accurate in his depiction of the Montauk project (the one correction being that the means of transport to Mars is now via jumprooms rather than jumpgates)

• Henry confirmed that Bill Deagle's information is fairly accurate (with the caveat that Henry had not heard of Project Omega, and that some of the 'electronic cage' scenarios referenced by Deagle were plans which had not yet been implemented);

• We learned that the alien visitor referred to in his original interview was slim, although human-proportioned – was low in mass, was dark in color, had "squinty, slanted eyes", did not appear to attempt any form of communication (possibly due to the condition of “his” health), and survived for about a week, his death probably being caused by poor treatment and a couple of portable devices having been (ignorantly!) taken away/removed from him;

• Henry estimated that there were, on Earth, currently at least 40 differing groups of "alien" visitors, from different places or times, and with many different agendas;

• Henry told us again that Alpha Centauri A was an inhabited system (confirming what we had learned in our first interview);

• We asked Henry what he knew of exotic propulsion systems. He replied that there were many different technologies. One that he knew a little about featured the creation of a 'gravity well' in front of the craft – the system remotely looking like the physical construct of a small linear accelerator (wave-guide) projecting off of a central "orb". He stressed that this was a very loose analogy. This is used by some of our own advanced vehicles.

Other technologies require pilot(s) who interface consciously with the craft, as was reported by Col. Philip Corso in his book The Day After Roswell. Remotely similar to system control in the Montauk Projects, and described in detail by David Wilcock in his interview with us here, the emotional focus of the pilot must be extremely stable (more so than can be attained by almost any present-day earth humans). For this reason, some of the visitors - who were time-traveling future humans - had been 'modified' biotechnologically to optimize the interface.

• We asked Henry if the Apollo astronauts had actually gone to the moon. This was a question that had not actually previously occurred to us in earlier meetings. There was a long pause before Henry replied saying: Yes, they had. But it was not a simple answer.

Most of the missions did indeed go to the moon, but some photos and film footage were fabricated for PR purposes, and - remarkably – some advanced technology was borrowed: a lightweight nano tech-skin shielding combined with a charged-field technology were utilized on some of the craft to provide very effective radiation shielding, combined with other technologies used to protect the astronauts from Gamma and other hazardous radiations and energetic particles during the journeys. Additional advanced “alien” technologies were added to land the Lunar Module and assist take-off from the moon.

Some Apollo astronauts were aware of these technologies (though only a couple were aware of the alternative space program). This accounts for some general reluctance to be interviewed or to speak openly on the subject. Their anger at those who claim they never went at all is understandable, because they did indeed reach the moon. They were very brave men... and they had some help.

• Incredibly, Henry stated that the one moon we have now is known to have been engineered into position eons ago. When we asked if this was done by our ancestors or by our creators, the answer came back "both".

• There is sentient life on a number of other planets in the solar system. General conditions 'out there' are not always as has been presented. Henry stated that Mars had experienced several catastrophes, not all naturally caused. He told us that it was known that the Van Allen belt had been created artificially a long time ago to provide protection to the Earth and its extraordinary teeming life. The present condition of the Van Allen belt is in a functionally deteriorated state. It was also put in-place to prevent “primitives” from leaving Earth before certain criteria were met.

• Henry continued to urge us to interview the great writer and futurist Arthur C. Clarke, who was 90 on 16th December 2007. Those who saw Clarke's magnificent movie 2001 will remember that an alien black monolith was discovered in the crater Tycho. Henry told us that certain lunar magnetic field anomalies (just as in the film) have been discovered. But he does not have any information about what was discovered. It seems that Arthur C. Clarke knew exactly what he was writing about. Keep an eye out on Europa!

_____________________________

The Secret Space Program: for our benefit, or that of others?

Maybe most importantly, Henry held the strong opinion that what has become frequently referred to as 'the secret space program' is well-intentioned (at least one of the programs) and is being managed by a group with the purpose of ensuring that the human race will survive, come what may.

For that reason, Henry was extremely reluctant to do or say anything to jeopardize its continuation. He urged us to support his stance.

In answer to our many questions, he explained that a classified, alternative space program, not in any way connected with the use of rocket motors, began soon after World War II and that other agendas - such as to radically reduce the world's population, and keep the remnants under tightly corralled control - were being pursued by entirely different and separate groups.

He emphasized that there was extreme diversity and compartmentalization among behind-the-scenes governing groups on Earth (just as among the alien visitors), had not seen any evidence that one single group was in overall control, and that their differing plans and agendas for the human race were not in any kind of strong alignment.

Most interestingly, he told us that the Department of Homeland Security (apparently the name bears little relation to its function) had been established partially as a co-ordinating organization for at least some of these groups (many of them intel) after other attempts to facilitate the groups working together to share project information had failed. Henry had been part of some of those attempts, which is one reason why he is so unusually well-informed in diverse areas (compartmentalized for many people) where much information is not shared at all.

This extreme compartmentalization seems to explain the confusion about how it was that the controllers, whoever they are, appear on the one hand intent on exterminating or controlling huge numbers of people... while on the other hand are actively reaching for the stars. Henry again stressed the very high level of complexity, urged us to take our attention off intriguing issues such as Mars, exotic technology and alien visitation, and focus instead on immediate threats to our survival, freedom and reorganization closer to your Ýhome. We acknowledge his wish and hope that we have represented him fairly and accurately.

_____________________________

It's not too late

Henry told us many times that he did not believe that essential information could possibly be presented to the public in such a way that they would be able to understand, accept and work with it in a timely, calm and rational manner. He feels that the Powers that Be are (in general, planned genocide notwithstanding) doing their best to handle an overwhelmingly difficult and complex situation by keeping the public uninvolved. He believes that it now appears to be too late to do anything to change the direction of many already implemented major global agendas. Unfortunately, critical situations may soon become quite apparent to us and may leave us in a state of confusion and chaos. Only prepared minds will be able to calmly sail hrough the stormy seas ahead.

We at Project Camelot believe strongly that the public has a right to know their history; their identity; their future; the problems the world faces; who our real friends and foes are; and everything that has happened and is happening in our own solar system and on the planet which is our only current home.

This is our only area of disagreement with Henry, who has become a close friend. We will never believe it's too late. We encourage everyone reading this page to copy its contents in full for the widest possible distribution.

AN UPDATE FROM 'HENRY DEACON'

_____________________________

We've had ongoing continued communication from 'Henry Deacon' (see below). For Henry's background and for a transcript of our first interview, please click here. It should ideally be read first before studying the information which follows.

What we present here was not recorded in any interview. This is our own compilation of what we consider important from a number of conversations and written exchanges since our first meeting.

We know Henry very well now. He's a values-driven man of high intelligence, acutely aware of the import of the information he shares at considerable risk to himself. He's softly-spoken, kind, and has a delightful sense of humor. He does not seek any limelight. He is extremely concerned about the state of the world... and the direction in which it seems to be heading.

Because of the professional posts he's held, he's in a privileged position to be able to see everything that's happening – which he describes as a bewildering complexity, all the details of which are known or understood by very few people – from an overview vantage point. The picture he presents is complex, challenging, and significant.

_____________________________

Dan Burisch's testimony

In our first interview, Henry told us he had never heard of Dan Burisch. Because parts of Henry's story seemed to overlap with Dan's, we strongly urged him to view our three part Dan Burisch video interview.

On 27 September, three weeks later, we received the following e-mail. It's quoted verbatim and in its entirety.

Dan Burisch is telling the whole truth.

I confirm this.

timelines and all

best wishes

This was of extreme importance, and we checked this with Henry in person as soon as we could. It appears that Dan's claims – as extraordinary and incredible as they may seem – are true.

Henry did not comment on J-Rod, the treaties, or Lotus, as he has no experience or knowledge of those. But he did confirm that the greatest secret in the classified world – about which many insiders themselves have not been briefed – is that there is a complex problem concerning alternative timelines, that some of the visitors are indeed humans from the distant future, and that there are significant issues with a possible future event which may seriously affect the earth and its population.

The last of these is the reason that all this has been kept so highly classified, and why disclosure is so problematic.

Roswell

The Roswell visitors were future humans – as Dan Burisch has stated. They were not from another planet, but from a future Earth – stepping (which is a better word than "traveling") back in time to 1947 to attempt to deal with the problems which had occurred in their history. Apparently, Dan was also correct in that the Roswell visitors were from earlier in the future than some other visitors who arrived subsequently. But Henry didn’t give details or time frames.

The Roswell visitors were on a purely altruistic mission. They did not have to do this, but chose to... out of compassion. But the mission went disastrously wrong – not just because they crashed (an accident caused by high-powered radar – later the military realized this and adapted the radar as a weapon), but because they had a device with them which was their only means, as an orientation device in time and space, to get them home and back to their own time.

The device was a little box, far smaller than the "Looking Glass" that Dan Burisch and Bill Hamilton describe as being subsequently utilized by military scientists in various experiments. When the box was acquired and investigated by the military, this became a catastrophe in itself. It made the timeline problem many times worse, because this both introduced the time-portal technology to us at the wrong time... and also told the military what lay ahead.

Henry could not stress too strongly how totally calamitous for us all the Roswell incident was. It was a major, major setback, right at the start of the future humans' project to help fix the problem.

Since then, there have been continued attempts by the future humans to remedy the exacerbated situation. This is what has caused an overlay of timelines, creating a tangled complexity which apparently is challenging for even the most brilliant present-day minds to understand fully.

We asked Henry why the disks kept on crashing, almost year after year. He said that it seemed strange that the visitors had not evaluated the risk from radar before they returned in time, but he explained it was just very dangerous for them to be here for a variety of reasons, despite their advanced technology. Crashes have been caused by many factors, including offensive action. Importantly, Henry emphasized that the Roswell visitors were not the Grays. (He did not mention who the Grays were.)

NOAA, the Dark Star, and global warming

Henry at one point did some work with NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and it was there that he learned about what he called the “second sun”. This is a massive astronomical object which is on a long elliptical orbit around our own sun, on an inclined plane to the rest of the planets. It’s now approaching, and is causing resonance effects on our sun in various ways. A small organization within NOAA is aware that this is a cause of the warming of all the planets, not just the Earth. This information is classified, but has been known for a number of years.

We told him about Andy Lloyd's excellent 'Dark Star' website, which he had not seen before. We also offered to send him Lloyd's book 'The Dark Star'; but he declined, saying that there was a risk that it might 'front-load' him too much before he had the chance to recall more information.

This issue is connected with the Roswell catastrophe described above. The problems the future humans were attempting to address were multiple, but principally – as Dan Burisch has stated on many occasions – featured a possible event triggered by a massive 'spike' of solar activity at some point in our currently near future.

Henry, like Dan, is at pains to emphasize strongly that this event is only possible (having been observed in Looking Glass devices in a possible future)... and currently is evaluated to be unlikely.

Henry explains that the increase in solar activity is caused only in part by the 'Dark Star', multiple factors being at play. These are complex. Some of them are on a galactic scale, and are associated with natural, periodic events which the Earth has suffered through a number of times previously. What makes this particular time completely unique for our planet is that there is a convergence of serious factors – such as carbon emissions, overpopulation, and our propensity for choreographing war – all of which combine with these major, cyclic and solar events to simultaneously threaten the well-being of ourselves and the biosphere.

Mars

Henry confirmed the existence of a large manned base on Mars, supplied through an alternative space fleet and also through stargates.

Signal non-locality

Henry told us that he had personal experience of interfacing with a team which effectively conducted Alain Aspect's pivotal and conclusive 1981 experiment to prove Bell's Theorem, under the auspices of a classified project at Livermore in the late 1970s. The results obtained were never published in journals - as is usual in the case of "black budget" research.

The mathematical physics is complex, but the technology developed is now regularly used to communicate instantaneously across vast distances.

The disk shot down at Hunter Liggett

We asked Henry to tell us more about this event. He gave the location of the incident: within a mile of the center of this map. It occurred in late 1972 or early 1973. His team were testing experimental laser weapons, targeting various materials in the field environment. Suddenly a disk-shaped craft appeared out of nowhere – measuring about 100 feet diameter by 25 feet high. It was about 150–200 yards away. Someone shot at it with Air Force experimental laser which was under test at the time. The primary laser system was contained and operated from the back of a slightly modified M-35 2.5 ton truck called a "Deuce and a Half". There was no visible external damage from what Henry could see or remember, but the craft was disabled. Three small child-like aliens (not classic “Grays”) were captured, alive and in good health, and were transferred to a Nike base located in the hills near Tilden Park, directly east of Kensington, CA. All this happened very quickly and was quite a shock to all concerned.

Click here for a further update (May 2007)

We have heard nothing from Henry Deacon for the last five weeks. Prior to our last communication, in the last week of March, he had told us he was being 'coerced'. Up to that time he had been in very regular communication with us. We now feel certain he has been forced into silence.

While this newest update contains fascinating further information on a number of topics (including more information about Mars and some details of the inside story of 9/11), we continue to believe that the most important information he has shared is to be found on this page.

2 May, 2007

__________________________

Click here for an important new statement (December 2007)

Henry has broken his silence after six months to tell us of his pessimism about a number of current serious global problems. He again references The Report from Iron Mountain, and urges us to pay attention to Dr. Bill Deagle and to Alex Jones' Endgame. He then talks more about Mars and the solar system, the secret space program, Arthur C. Clarke, the Apollo moon landings, and more.

FROM THE CANADIAN NATIONAL NEWSPAPER

Time Travel: Egyptian Artifacts support scholarly testimony of oppressive Manipulative Extraterrestrial infiltration of human society through militarism

by Peter Tremblay

Photos taken of ancient hieroglyphics on different visits by individuals to Egypt, distinctively show a military-looking helicopter, an airplane, a submarine, and even some kind of alien spacecraft. Photos which accompany this article, were further documented to have been taken in 1996 and 1997.

	Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics that show a military-looking helicopter constitute apparent evidence of time travel related to Manipulative Extraterrestrial infiltration of Earthbound human society.

The glyphs suggest that Extraterrestrials have shown an interest and have demonstrated the capability to rule over humanity. The glyphs also suggest that similar technologies today, that apparently existed thousands of years ago, may have originated from a similar source. Indeed, Dr. Michael Salla has suggested the current existence of military-industrial-extraterrestrial complex that has access to “exotic technologies” which include time-travel. If these technologies existed thousands of years ago, wouldn’t time travel by a related group account for the re-introduction of the same technologies?

Retired NATO Commander, Rhodes Scholar, and four-star general Wes Clark -- who made a late October 2003 entry in the 2004 U.S. Presidential race following a successful draft campaign -- made comments in reference to "time travel" as an important area of research that was quite attainable. Perhaps according to scholarly testimony like Dr. Salla, and other researchers of UFO phenomenon, such technology has already been developed, this LINK

Bill Hobbs further records that Clark said on the U.S. Presidential campaign trial, that he thinks that time travel is possible and that it will be accomplished. And he strongly implied that as president, he would openly allocate federal money to develop it. LINK Indeed, if such an "exotic technology" was already developed, then the elites who presided over any such technology would be able to evaluate the American publics reaction to such information.

Could time traveling manipulative extraterrestrials that presided over the destruction of previous human civilizations, use time travel as a means of selectively seeking to influence sentient races at different stages of the technological development of various planetary civilizations?

In 1848, one of numerous archaeological expeditions working in Egypt discovered strange hieroglyphs at the height of about ten metres right above the entrance to the Seti Temple in Abydos. The walls were apparently covered with the strange signs that greatly puzzled researchers. The only thing the researchers realized at once was that they had discovered some images of strange mechanisms that nobody ever saw before.

"The archaeological expedition carefully copied the mysterious signs on the temple walls, and the hieroglyphs gave rise to endless disputes and heated debates among Egyptologists. As a result, majority of Egyptologists arrived at a conclusion at that time that there were just strange objects drawn in different variations, " documents the Russian newspaper Pravda. LINK

Researchers of the 19th century failed to understand what ancient Egyptians actually drew on the temple walls. Like any sensation the mysterious Abydos hieroglyphs were absolutely forgotten some time later.

In about 150 years, the respectable Arab newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat published several evocative photos taken in the Amon Ra Temple in Karnak. At that, the newspaper asked its readers whether they believed that ancient Egyptians knew about battle aviation. The photos showed an ancient artist(s) engraved a battle helicopter with a distinct rotor and a tail unit. Nearby, the artist depicted several other aircrafts astonishingly resembling contemporary supersonic fighters and heavy strategic bombers.

The Russian article from Pravda titled "Ancient Egyptians used helicopters and airplanes for battles?" documents that "After the thought provoking publication of the photos it became clear why Egyptologists of the 19th century could not tell what was depicted on the walls of the temple in Abydos." LINK.

Indeed, the nineteenth century researchers did not know how helicopters and aircrafts look.

Well-known Egyptologist Alan Alford left to the Nile banks to study the Abydos mystery. The researcher studied the mysterious hieroglyphs and made sure that what seemed absolutely incredible was in fact quite real. Alford told journalists that ancient Egyptians had depicted a real helicopter model as if they made the engravings from life. LINK Some of the depictions by artists thousands of years ago, are still apparently unknown.

These photos were met with the usual attempts by operatives of a modern era, who are paid by the Establishment, and who operate in a cloak of secrecy, to spin an accompanying web of deceit and dis-information. LINK

These photos are further accompanied by archaeological findings in Egypt of alien skulls attributed to an oppressive apparent human-extraterrestrial hybrid race. Professor Zecharia Sitchin’s research further supports eyewitness accounts by indigenous and other peoples, about numerous skulls of human-extraterrestrial hybrid race that have been photographed.

Joel Mills in the process of producing the CD-ROM "The Secrets of Stargate." sought to collect photographs of giant skulls of apparent human-extraterrestrial hybrid races. These skulls were later apparently censored from the producing of the CD-ROM. Notwithstanding this "these skulls are so numerous in the area of the Nasca desert in South America, that you can find small makeshift museums in the backyards of the locals."

Mr. Mills believed that these alien skulls and related artifacts proved that original Stargate film (1994) of an interseller time teleportation mechanism could be not simply some sort of science fiction fantasy.

Wikpedia documents that the film and later developed television series was based upon the following storyline:

"The United States civilian government holds the Stargate's existence a secret, so story lines present no contradiction between the episode's events and reality. In the story, many Earth mythologies are in fact based upon events involving aliens who visited or controlled Earth civilizations in the distant past." Posing as gods, Manipulative Extraterrestrials were presented as enslaving the inhabitants of ancient Egypt, creating its culture and religion. These malevolent aliens were presented as using Stargates to move laborers from Earth to other habitable planets. The aliens were also depicted as being forced to flee Earth following a successful rebellion by the humans, and the Stargate was buried and forgotten until its rediscovery in Giza, Egypt, 1928.

Adolf Hilter has been historically documented as being a member of the UFO oriented Thule society, before his rise to power. Nazi Germany was allegedly inspired from his contacts with representatives of alleged Great Pyramid inspiring Extraterrestrial "Aryan" civilizations. This has been documented in the article titled, "The Aliens of the Golden Dawn". LINK

In the book entitled The Dawn of Magic by Louis Pauwells and Jacques Bergier first published in France under the title Le Matin des Magiciens 1960, Hitler was documented as having indicated: "The new man is living amongst us now! He is here!" exclaimed Hitler, triumphantly... I will tell you a secret. I have seen the new man. He is intrepid and cruel. I was afraid of him." LINK

Did the same group of time-travelling Extraterrestrials that provide military technology that were drawn on the Egyptian glyphs, also seek to funnel technology to Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany so as to effectuate an agenda to run planet Earth as "Aryan" custodial gods, over the enslaving of humanity?

Local guides in Peru explained their church leaders feel the skulls of apparent ancient ruling castes of human-alien hybrids, are "the work of the devil", and the offspring of the fallen angels in the Bible.

With this in mind, learned scholar and author John Lash in Metahistory.org documents ancient Gnostics as seeking to warn humanity about intelligent inorganic life possessing demonic consciousness that were presented in Gnostic cosmology to be Archons or "fallen angels".

Findings prove that the Archonic rulers of these apparently technologically advanced societies, shared the common bond of huge skulls and brains that probably provided them with highly developed intellectual capabilities. This information has been allegedly shared by secret societies and religious leaders for hundreds of years. These pictures have been described by viewers as showing "proof of beings from another world" interacting with humans LINK

Egypt's King Akhenaton and his daughters were allegedly proud of their "distinct features" (elongated skulls) and the true facts of this royal family are shrouded in controversy. LINK.

Some historians paid by the Establishment to create dis-information, point out that the giant skulls of this family are simply a deformity caused by inbreeding. Others discount this and claim that it is the art style of the Armana period. LINK.

Ignatius Donnelly in his book entitled Atlantis, The Antedeluvian World explores historical accounts of a Continent that existed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that sank into the sea. He documents that before it sank, the apparent Human-Manipulative Extraterrestrial hybrid rulers left for Egypt, Mexico and Peru and became rulers of newfound apocalyptical empires with Great Pyramids, that were based around oppressive religious-militaristic cults. He found information about elongated apparent alien-human hybrid skulls hidden in the Library of Congress in Washington. Perhaps "the sinking" of Atlantis had something to do with a military attempt of these alien-human hybrids to seize and take control of Atlantis as an allegedly highly advanced human civilization?

Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori had advocated the release of official photographic documentation of the apparent skulls of an alien-human hybrid ruling caste.

When President Alberto Fujimori took power in Peru he had decided to allow the skulls to be photographed. The Peruvian government had indicated to a researcher that "these unusual skulls could be found in many museums in Peru and excavations were uncovering them even now near the Nasca Plateau." LINK.

Brad Steiger’s book entitled Worlds Before our Own presented evidence that previous earth civilizations were destroyed possibly by very sophisticated nuclear weapons, in a catastrophic war on Earth of intergalactic proportions, involving different alien civilizations . If this is the case, then these glyphs corroborate Dr. Salla’s research of a military-industrial-extraterrestrial complex that once again may be taking humanity into a path of planetary destruction for whatever alien agenda might exist.

Dr. Salla in "A Report on the Motivations and Activities of Extraterrestrial Races – A Typology of the Most Significant Extraterrestrial Races Interacting with Humanity" in Exopolitics, revised January 1, 2005 documents that Clifford Stone, a retired U.S. army Sergeant who served in the U.S. Army for 22 years and participated in covert operations to retrieve crashed extraterrestrial ships and extraterrestrial biological entities (EBE’s), revealed there were a total of 57 extraterrestrial races known by UFO and Extraterrestrial dis-information operatives. LINK.

Dr. Salla further reveals that apparent Manipulative Extraterrestrials (in contrast with socially responsible and Ethical Extraterrestrials) have sought to introduce military technologies through ego and greed driven elites, that have literally sold their soul to gain access to these technologies. Dr. Salla indicates that Manipulative Extraterrestrials having exploited short-sighted human elites, have instigated a "range of systemic global problems."

Indeed, if there are, for example, baseball and football players as well as track and field stars, who are willing to sell out their personal health by taking steroids in order to get more money and in their apparent view, "more glory, just think how many corrupt human politicians, in turn, would be correspondingly willing to similarly sell out their soul to manipulative aliens in their quest for their sought prize of short-sighted planetary power.

Dr. Salla's further documents alleged interactions between Manipulative extraterrestrial races and empire-driven human elites as having "reached agreements with, and even collaborated in a number of joint projects."

Gary McKinnon in a Wired Magazine article titled "'UFO Hacker' Tells What He Found" indicates that, "I also got access to Excel spreadsheets. One was titled "Non-Terrestrial Officers." Mr. McKinnon uncovered what he indicated appeared to be orbiting alien spacecraft, that would then be systematically airbrushed out of high resolution satellite images.

Could nuclear weapons itself, which human elites now seek to threaten Iran toward a global nuclear holocaust, also have been introduced through human elite collaborations with manipulative alien toward a global conquest agenda?

Secrets of the Lost Races writer Rene Noorbergen reveals scientific research on ancient Pyramids that have been in turn linked to Human-Extraterrestrial hybrid races, have also demonstrated traces of nuclear radiation consistent with a pre-historic nuclear war.

In South America the Brazilian ruins of Sete Ciddaes are enormously revealing. Author Noorbergen in Secrets of the Lost Races writes of "ruins melted by apocalyptic energies..."! Elsewhere, in Mesopotamia sizable ziggurats -- a form of early pyramid -- have been found melted to their base in a vitrified mass! LINK.

In the article "Nuclear Wars in Antiquity", by author Harry Hinde further documents the following:

"In the Arabian desert blackened stones litter the sands over a wide area, showing signs of having been subjected to intense radiation. In Israel the location of the Dead Sea and it's mysterious connection with Sodom and Gomorrah bears evidence of an amazing focus of heat that is thought to have gouged out the entire area in a massive explosion. Vitrified rock created under intense pressure, is a frequent discovery, and in 1952 archaeologists discovered a vitrified area of sand that stretched out over hundreds of square feet! Apparently deposits like this are similar to those left behind at the White Sands atomic testing site in America." LINK.

"In fact wherever we look in the world the baffling enigma of vitrified ruins challenges our intellect! From Peru, to Scotland and Scandinavia; to the plateau's of China and India, this indelible evidence attests to some undeniably violent act." LINK.

Erich von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods? has presented theories of ancient astronauts constituting a possible intergalactic alien invasion force, landing on Earth. Von Daniken links Great Pyramid like structures on Mars to similar looking Great Pyramids on Earth, as the alleged basis of fascistic alien colonies on Earth. The well-documented humanoid face on Mars -- that has apparently been also subsequently subjected to elite-directed air-brushing toward an alien disinformation campaign -- has also been cited as evidence of malevolent alien migrations to Earth.

Rene Noorbergen further documents charred ruins to be found between the River Ganges in India and the mountains of Rajamahal. "The walls have been glazed, corroded, and split by tremendous heat. Within several of the buildings that remain standing even the surfaces of the stone furniture have been vitrified: melted then crystallized. No natural burning flame or volcanic eruption could have produced heat intense enough to cause this phenomenon. Only the heat released through atomic energy could have done this damage." Also in this same region a human body was discovered with a radioactivity "which was fifty times above the normal level". LINK

	Apparent skull of alien-human hybrid ruling caste of ancient society are reportedly prevelant in Peru, and have also been found by researchers in Egypt.

Mr Lash is Metahistory.org documents, that Gnostic research uncovered intrusion by intelligent inorganic Manipulative Extraterrestrials that are native to other planets in Earth's solar system that sought to instigate violence among humans in a "divide, conquest and rule" agenda. Manipulative aliens through opportunistic time periods of terrestrial conflicts on Earth, would likely find many zealot human elites willing to do anything in order to acquire military technology to destroy each other for their own conquest agenda with "hybrid" confederates. Mr. Lash documents the extent to which alien-inspired organized religion has provided a context for sowing bigotries, and an ensuing culture of violence, that can "ripen" into the kind of militarism which now shapes American foreign policy.

The so-called "War on Terror" could be in fact an Manipulative Extraterrestrial ruse for an evolving alien agenda, against human rights, spiritual free will, and sovereignty. Appreciating Manipulative Extraterrestrial intrusion on the development of human civilization could very well illuminate such catastrophes from the Holocaust against the Jews, the genocide in Rwanda where human elites turned their back on, and on-goings acts of oppression and barbarity on our planet.

Mr. Lash cites Gnostics as having illuminated that individuals who seek to appreciate Manipulative Extraterrestrial infiltration of Earthbound human society must introspectively come to grips with what it means to be human. After doing that through a process of critical inner spiritual reflection (free of externally imposed alien inspired organized religious dogma) individuals can readily be able to also detect Manipulative Extraterrestrial infiltration.

Adult human beings can observe the human spirit in its rawest form as being manifested in the newborn infant that smiles and that seeks to reach out to other human beings in a spirit of empathy, free of bigotry and the violence, that has been conditioned through alien-inspired organized religions.

Extraterrestrial infiltration of humanity is evident among subsequent development of certain constituencies of human beings who are driven by exploitation, greed, and violence, and who then seek to oppressively lash out at other human beings to perpetuate their alien-induced exploitation agenda.

Brad Steiger suggests that humans must learn the mistakes committed in the past in an apparent previous cycle(s) on nuclear and general apocalyptical destruction, in order to avoid humanity being once again manipulated into an elite-inspired agenda of exploitation, oppression, and destruction.

A WITNESS JOURNAL OF UFO AND DARK FIGURES

Posted: December 16, 2007

Date of sightings, Throughout December 2007

HBCC UFO Research Note: UFO sightings and more is still taking place in Granisle, B.C. From what I understand there are many people talking about seeing unusual lights to unknown craft of strange shapes and sizes. I am just waiting for the highways to clear a bit and I will be heading to Granisle to meet everyone involved. These events are taking place in December 2007.

HERE IS MY JOURNAL (By one of the witnesses)

After seeing the event take place on the Granisle Highway on the way home from Houston, things have gotten strange to say the least.

We have been having, what most people might consider paranormal activity happening in our house and my daughter's. It started out with my 17 year old son hearing low mumbling voices in the room next to mine. I told him to drag the mattress into my room. My husband stays in camp during the week while working. My son did drag the mattress in and that night we both had a lot of difficulty sleeping. Both of us had breezes blowing on us and just a very strange eerie sleep. The following night was the same only more intense, and before bedtime my son heard a noise in a room in the basement by our steps. When he went to investigate the dark room and he saw a very dark figure standing there. He ran.

Outside the "clouds" have been very strange. When the day or night is absolutely clear with a billion stars in the sky, suddenly a fog will show up starting very small and growing huge, then just as suddenly disappear. One of the neighborhood kids and his girlfriend saw an orb hovering over my daughters building among other things.

The next night, which would be a Friday, my husband was home. The air was the same in the room. The blankets felt as though they were being lifted then dropped which would create a slight breeze around you. My son again saw a figure, but in the room we were sleeping and he kept getting touched. He was very upset and I finally got up with him and then after going to bed it continued to bother him badly. He finally got so upset he got up. I could still feel it as well, but dropped off to sleep. At 8:00 am, I could feel my blankets moving slowly and suddenly my husband sat straight up in bed and swore loudly telling whatever it was to go away in not so many words! The blankets were being pulled off of us from the bottom of the bed. We got up.

The next night was uneventful for my husband, but I could still feel the strange air and was shaken awake. My son, was shaken about the very same time and got up staying awake.

Sunday, my husband had to go back to camp and we had a very horrible night. Before my husband left, he mentioned that we should sleep in the living room downstairs and take the dogs with us. We set up camp down there and prepared to watch movies until we fell asleep.

I made myself a bed on the couch and he dragged a mattress in on the floor. He sat on the couch by a lamp to draw while we watched TV. I was feeling confident that we wouldn't have to leave for much of anything and began to say as much. I said, "Well, we have our phone, we have our bottled water, we have tissue, we even have our cryptonite!" When suddenly I was grabbed on my butt! I jumped up screaming. When I settled down enough, I put my thickest blanket over the couch to lie on, because it felt as though it was coming through the crack of the sofa. My son had been going through this already but not as intense of a touch. We put out a video camera.

At about 12:00 a.m., there was a BANG, BANG, BANG on the door. We almost jumped out of our skins. My son crept to the door with his knife. It was my daughter, who was almost in tears and her boyfriend. They were hollering and my son yelled for me to come! They told us that they were chased by a UFO and wanted us to go out and see it. They did not not want to go with us. They were so upset and said "You have got to be kidding!" Where the sky had been perfectly clear was now fogged! Like I said these strange fogs just show up, and then leave as fast as they came.

The story they told was unbelievable. they were watching TV in my daughter's apartment. Now they had been hearing strange things for days, but this was different. There was something making a lot of racket in the attic. They took a flashlight and stacked a chair on top of a trunk in the spare bedroom where the attic door is located. My daughter is too short to get up there safely, so her boyfriend went up alone. He got in and he says he saw a very tall, dark figure that darted away fast as he looked at it. This scared him so bad, that he jumped out of the attic, not caring if he missed the chair or not. He yelled, "Get out! Get out of the room! Go, Go, Go!" My daughter says, "Why? What's going on?!" He says, I saw something up there! It was fast, it didn't even make a sound! It moved without a sound!"

They were standing outside the bedroom door. It was closed. My daughter says, "I don't want my cat in there B! The attic door is still open." He responded, "Are you kidding me? I am not going back in there ever again!" Finally she convinced him to open the door a crack enough to see the cat, who was sitting under the chair on the trunk staring up at the hole. When called, this kitten always comes. She wouldn't even look at them. It took what seemed many minutes to get her attention and out of there. After closing the door it suddenly started shaking. someone was on the other side rattling it hard and the kitten darted away, spinning out in the kitchen. There was a hiccup coming from the room with the attic! They grabbed the kitten and ran out the front door.

While running, my daughter noticed these strange striped clouds just over the apartment building. Her boyfriend said, "That is strange." She thought he was talking about the clouds but he was talking about the object in the sky with sparkling lights coming toward them. They were running as fast as they could and my daughter kept looking back at it. Her boyfriend told her not to keep looking back because it was slowing them down. It followed then stopped, and so on. They made it to my house. She said it was round and sparkling, but I do not remember the color.

We pulled another mattress into the living room (in basement) and watched a movie. At about 4:00 am we turned off the TV and were about to sleep when there was what sounded like footsteps crunching in the snow and a huge BANG!, like someone hitting the wall. It was either in the house or up against it. We all ran upstairs and searched and saw or heard nothing. Back downstairs and just settling in and the same thing. Crunch, crunch, BANG! We went to sleep.

That day, I took the kids over and we looked in the attic. I didn't bring a ladder and I could not pull myself up into it, so the boyfriend and my daughter got in there. I helped her up. I was tall enough to see in there and there was drywall broken out from the side separating the apartment on the right with my daughters. The insulation had also been disturbed in places you aren't able to step. No activity though that I could see.

They decided to try to sleep there.

I spoke to my husband on Messenger and told him about the events. He was very upset and wanted us to sleep at my Moms up the hill. We didn't want to do that unless it really scared us again. That night, I felt pretty good and had no events at all, except that my son was being touched so often it was upsetting him very badly. Another night for both of us with little or no sleep at all.

The clouds/fog were really getting to me.

Sometime early afternoon I decided, since my son laid down for a nap and seemed to be undisturbed, I would go up to my Moms. While sitting for a visit my husband walked in. He was very worried and wanted to find out for himself what was happening. We went home and he had a nap to prepare for an all nighter.

It was very clear out. You could see all the stars. My daughter and I go for a drive. It is dark now. We go down to the lake and we see this fog start up just between us and the road above us. It starts to get eerie and then suddenly an orange light shoots out of the sky into the cloud. We go home to get my husband. When we get there he is standing outside with the dogs looking at the sky. He got a little spooked inside and decided to go out. After he put the dogs in the house, I pick him up and take him down to the lake. We start observing all the strange "stars" and "planets" and the sudden appearance and disappearance of the fogs. My husband kind of dismisses things so we go home. Later, as my husband is again sleeping on the couch, my son and daughter and I were keeping our eyes open. At about 2:00 a.m., my husband was asleep on the couch and my daughter and son call me to the window asking me what the light was above our neighbors roof over the lake. I said "Let's go see."

So we walked down toward the lake and it is as clear as a bell out. Suddenly a fog appears, starting out small and growing and growing until it is like a path from where we came. Then it totally encircles us. We couldn't see the light on the lake anymore. I started to get really scared that it is trapping us, so we go home and get the truck. After we got back down there and sit for about 2 minutes still in the truck I see it! It is octagon in shape and it is coming down the lake from Smithers direction. It is flying low and had red and green/blue lights all around it. I said, "Oh my God, there it is, there it is!" The kids jump out of the truck and I am freaking for them not to. Then I got out too and it flew over our heads and there is a rumble like a jet very loud. My son starts flicking his lighter at it wants it to see us! I tell him "don't!" It continued on a straight path and finally the blinking lights couldn't be seen. We are so excited! Mystified! Scared! We get back in the truck because it is cold. The strange fog appears rapidly over the lake. We ask each other if it was a jet or what? Suddenly there is a huge blue flash that lights up the sky and it comes from the direction that we saw the "jet" go. It streaks across the sky, a lit up octagon shape at lightning speed and it stops right in front of us across the lake and sits there, now just looking like a star or planet. "Meteorites" are everywhere.

I panic and drive off and the kids are complaining loudly that I am taking them away from this event that is once in a lifetime. I tell them I want their dad, and I go to get him! I wake him up and he mumbles and goes back to sleep. The kids are waiting in the truck, keeping an eye on the light that loomed there. I feel like a heel, but I am terrified at the thought of taking them back there to the unknown, but I do anyway. First I stop at my brothers, wake him up and take him with us back down to the lakeside. We park the same way facing the lake but as far back from it as possible. As we sit there, we start to see them. There are at least four maybe more. There are two hovering on the lake and one comes out from the trees on the other side and goes straight up and hovers there. It moves up and down up and down over a little then up and down. There are more over on the other side glowing through the trees. The fog appears again. Then the one on the left of us which appears to be hovering on the lake and is a long strip of lights with what looked like a search light in the center starts to get too close. My kids are in the back of the truck and I fear for them so I start to drive off. My brother wants me to stop and look for a minute more. I do this and then leave. I dropped my brother off and we went into his place to discuss what we saw.

Then I go home and my husband is up. My kids continue to watch out the window and see the one on the lake which we now know was the one that lured us down there to begin with. It is glowing and from that distance you can only see the search light thing. I asked my husband to go and see with me, because I really wanted him to experience what we did. Finally after about half an hour he asks if I want to go. We did. As we were heading down to the lake he saw a very large black shape over the lake and then it faded out. After that he only got to see the one on the lake by the mine and the strange fog that took over the whole area immediately after we got there. We could hear what he thought was the barge starting up. After that we saw no more activity. We drove up to my Moms because he thought we could get a better view from her driveway. We sat there for a few minutes when I saw in the sky above the lake what looked like red and green lights flashing. It flew from the Burns Lake side of the lake toward Smithers but not following the lake like I saw the other lower craft. This one was much higher and sounded jet-like. Suddenly the fog got huge and glowing white. It came up so fast and then it began coming toward us. We went home and in the two minutes that took, the fog totally covered Granisle. My kids were at the kitchen window and had seen a light hovering above the neighbor's house behind us. This neighbor stays up all night it seems like we have been. I wonder why?

I am so relieved to get this all down safely. I was just typing the last long paragraph when I realized I had my toe on the power button and it was shutting my PC down. Figures I would lose it all, but luckily I managed to save. I feel like if it isn't written, everything is getting foggy and fading from memory. Strange, as I sit here this morning looking out the kitchen window, the sky is overcast. The mountain across the lake is bright and sunny above it, and a huge pancake cloud above the sunny area as usual. I feel now like the touchy feely stuff going on in our house is like energy. Not of the spiritual kind though. The brand new video camera we got that takes beautiful pictures normally, sure did act strange. It wouldn't even allow a shot of the craft, even though it was as big as a house. The shots we got in the house are very odd.

December 12, 2007 3:00 a.m.

My son was watching TV in the living room, and I was finally asleep for about a half an hour beside him on the couch. Both dogs were with us, they were very alert and looked nervous but didn't make a sound. He was trying to wake me. Poking me, yelling at me, etc. Finally I awakened after a very long, long time. There was a loud hovering sound and someone walking around in the upper floor. The TV picture was going all strange. It was going small and big and small, narrowing on all sides. We were both paralyzed in fear. After about a half hour of listening to the whirring and the creeping around sounds in the house, we got the nerve to go and look around We found nothing.

About 4:00 pm. We were sitting in the kitchen and my daughter looked out the patio doors and yelled! I don't even want to tell you what she saw in the tree that jumped to another tree.

December 13, 2007.

In the evening at about dinner time, my daughter called and asked me to drive her down to Topley Landing restaurant. The night sky was clear as a bell and very starry. I drove over to pick her up on Morrison St. Both her and her boyfriend were standing outside pointing up in the sky toward Topley. I watched as two crafts were zipping around following each other. Blue and red lights. We watched them as we drove to the landing. After the boyfriend came out of the lodge we continued to watch three crafts flying by the moon. I saw the owner of the lodge doing something outside near a shed and I told the boyfriend to yell at him and tell him to look. The man couldn't hear us so I drove over to him and pointed. He came over and I told him to look at the space ships and he looked and said, "Oh ya, we see them all the time."

After we got home I looked above our house and noticed these strange stars above. They were in the shape of an octagon. They were there for about ten minutes and then one at a time they disappeared. The fog started in but only where you would walk.

I was talking to my husband on MSN and telling him about the noises in the house and he insisted that I go up to my Moms to stay until he could get home the next day. I promised I would. My son came running in. It was about 8:00 p.m. He was very upset and told me that he saw a small midget-like thing run across the road in front of him. It was black and ran on two legs and had two arms. It ran down the trail to the lake. He was very afraid when he saw it and yelled. He said it was 3.5 maybe 4 feet tall. We went to my Moms. Shortly after my brother came up and I took him for a drive to the lake with the headlights out. We could see the light dimming and getting bright across the lake. We sat for maybe 5 minutes when he looked above the truck and saw a saucer shape (black). We jumped out and it would zip away so fast. Then return and then zip away as soon as you could see it.

At some point after midnight the dogs needed to go outside and one of them took off up to the water tower. My brother took several pictures outside and especially in the fog there are orb-like things everywhere. The fog would climb around the house and disappear very fast and then return. Very odd. There were many "meteorites."

December 14, 2007

Pretty uneventful but the sky was very clouded over. Every once in a while in the evening there was a blink or a flash, but that was all besides the poking and bugging in the house.

Thank you to the witness for an amazing story.

SHIRLEY MACLAINE

Living life to the full

By Hannah Stephenson

Sunday, December 23, 2007

Oscar-winner Shirley MacLaine talks about her new Belfast-made movie, book and UFOs, and reveals why she is still in demand in Hollywood

SOMETIMES life is surreal - and this is one of those moments.

I'm sitting chatting to Hollywood movie legend Shirley MacLaine, one of my all-time favourite screen icons, in - of all places - Fern Britton's dressing room on the set of This Morning.

Fern's shoes (all with impossibly high heels) are piled up precariously on a shelf right next to where the Oscar-winning actress is sitting, her strawberry blonde hair in a neat bob, her eyes warm and very friendly.

MacLaine, 73, doesn't do small talk, takes the issues of UFOs and reincarnation extremely seriously, and yet isn't remotely as weird or as prickly as I anticipate. In fact, she has the same sense of fun and mischief she has brought to so many roles, from the vulnerable nightclub hostess in Sweet Charity to the lovelorn secretary in The Apartment opposite Jack Lemmon, and the comical mother dealing with tragedy in Terms Of Endearment, for which she won an Oscar.

Her characters are often smiling through tears, unlike herself.

She has been branded eccentric by skeptics who sneer at her pronouncements of being a medieval warrior and Egyptian princess in previous lives and her allegations of government cover-ups over UFOs which she claims to have seen.

She also believes in life after life after life - that when we die we are reincarnated, that she has lived, as have her family and her dog Terry, many lives before, and that life is perpetual so she has no fear of death.

Her new book, Sage-ing While Age-ing, which features a little of her life and career mixed with a lot about UFOs and reincarnation, may just fuel the fire. But she is used to flak.

"Seventy per cent of the American public believe that we are not alone. I have been the catalyst for jokes, but they are not happening any more. People know that there is a cover-up and it is now mainstream to believe we've been visited," she says.

Today, she lives on a ranch in New Mexico, the mecca for extra-terrestrial activity, and also has a home in Malibu, overlooking the ocean, because Los Angeles is where so much of her work is based. However, she doesn't go to Hollywood parties any more.

"It's not like it used to be. We used to have parties all the time. Servants and white gloves, great food on flaming platters. I wouldn't call it decadent, but they were rich. That doesn't happen now.

"In the old days it was more of a motion picture society. You'd go to Billy Wilder's or Sam Goldwyn's or the head of the studio on Saturday night."

She laments that people in the acting industry just don't have as much fun anymore. You have to remember, though, that MacLaine hung out with the Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr, and starred in the original Ocean's Eleven in 1960.

"That time was reckless fun," she says, "and it would never happen again. And there was such unbelievable talent, for God's sake. They didn't care about profits, they cared about having fun."

She was friends with all of them but never had an affair with any - although she was tempted with Dean Martin.

"I had kind of a crush on Dean, but Jeanne (his then wife) was always around. Dean was the funny one. I used to have deep discussions with Frank about reincarnation. Sammy, probably the most talented of all, got into drugs.

"Sometimes I get very nostalgic if there is a retrospective of Hollywood in the old days on the TV.

"Hollywood is very different now. In the old days, the studios were the parental influence in your life. They protected you from everything and there was that feeling of working without concern about whether it will be successful. Nowadays everything is about profit and money."

She says she is seen as a 'crone' or a wizened sage in Hollywood, but has real respect from the studios.

"I ask myself why am I still working, but I love the creativity of being other people."

In Sir Richard Attenborough's latest film (which was filmed in Belfast), Closing The Ring, a love story interwoven between 1991 and World War Two, she plays the lead as an American woman unable to grieve over the death of her first love.

"What we were going through was the study of what has been so hard for Dickie in the last couple of years over his grief (his daughter and grand-daughter died in Asian tsunami of 2004)."

In February she starts filming a new movie called Poor Things with Olympia Dukakis, based on a true story about two older women who go on a murder rampage.

There are also plans to make the movie of the hit TV series Dallas with MacLaine earmarked for the role of Miss Ellie.

Hollywood is cruel to many aging actresses, but MacLaine has the advantage that she never relied on her looks for roles. "I was a character actress when I was 20. It wasn't about sex appeal or my body. The more glamorous you are, the shorter your working life will be."

She had many lovers during her early career - at one point she had a lover in each country she visited - and during her 28-year marriage to film producer-turned-businessman Steve Parker, both were unfaithful.

"I'm a serial monogamist. Usually I fixed it so that they would dump me. I can't imagine staying in one place with one man and one job in one town."

They had one daughter, Sachi, but MacLaine finally split from Parker because he stole money from her to put into business ventures. "That was a big lesson. I had to become more concerned with my own finances."

Born in Richmond, Virginia, MacLaine grew up in an environment where her parents were unfulfilled creatively.

Her father, a gifted musician, didn't want to spend his life in an orchestra pit so he gave it up to be a real estate salesman. Her mother, who was also artistic, was a drama teacher.

It was almost inevitable that MacLaine and her younger brother, Warren Beatty, should follow the creative path which had eluded their parents.

She sees Beatty a lot now, although they have gone through periods where they haven't spoken. And she loves his kids.

"He has more of a Hollywood lifestyle than I do," she says. " He has people over for dinner and stuff like that."

She lives alone - well, with her 13 dogs, including her favorite, a terrier called Terry, and much prefers animals to people. "We have so much to learn from them - how to get along, how to establish a pecking order that works, just the simplest things," she says, and believes dogs are better companions than any man could ever be. "I have a pillow that says, 'The more I know of men, the more I love my dog'."

She hasn't ruled out another man in her life, but it's a tall order. " He'd have to get out of a spacecraft, probably," she says, laughing.
