THE AWAKENING AND TRANSFORMATION
Take a close look at the representation above of the moon and checkmarks and comprehend its majesty and beauty. Imagine to yourself seeing this on a clear night. The night I saw it, I thought it was the most spectacular thing I have ever seen. There is some background to this event that must be shared with you to understand the true mystery behind the "happening". For over 34 years I have re-lived the moment, trying to understand why I even made that symbol on the calendar, what it is supposed to mean for me/us, and more importantly, who or what was responsible for me seeing it. This one event has been the driving force that has given me clarity of vision for exploration of the nature of reality itself. On that night my life was forever changed and my journey into the research of consciousness, the unexplained/paranormal, UFO's, ancient civilizations and everything else that makes up the vast amount of unconventional/unorthodox knowledge began. On that night, I emerged from a matrix of disinformation, propaganda and lies perpetrated by the global elite and their minions. On that night I found the seeds of true freedom. On that night the feeling that I had an obligation to do "something" was instilled in my entire being/soul and has only grown stronger throughout the years. Now, it is time for me to share with you this experience and why it is so significant towards understanding the nature of ourselves and our place/purpose in the universe. I hope after reading what is to follow you, the reader, will become enlightened enough to begin your own journey into reality and consciousness itself. But to appreciate the real significance of what I have just imparted to you above, read on and keep your mind open to the new realms that await you.
It all started back in 1978 when I was living in Oxnard, CA. Back then I was working nights in maintenance keeping parking lots clean, driving a truck specially equipped to vacuum/sweep the trash/debris from parking lots. Do you remember the program, In Search Of, hosted/narrated by Leonard Nimoy?
Well, that was one of my favorite programs and it got me more interested in subjects such as ancient civilizations, the paranormal, UFOs, ghosts, cryptozoology, the pyramids of Egypt, and well, just everything paranormal and extraordinary. First, let me point out that I was living alone at the time and I was alone most of the times that I had the experiences that were to follow through the years. One day I was sort of playing around with my thoughts thinking of all the In Search Of programs I had watched along with all the magazines, etc. that I had read on UFOs, the paranormal and other unexplained topics and I then said to myself (thought to myself) 'I bet all this stuff is connected in some way.' Then I went up to the calendar on the wall and drew a circle with two checkmarks over it and then said to myself (thought to myself) that if I see this reproduced in some way that means that I'm right. (I still have the calendar with the symbol I drew.)
OK, just a stupid little game that I was playing with myself, something to pass the time. This was in March 1978. But then, it happened. I think it was the third or fourth Saturday night, (actually it must have been early morning), in January 1979. I think the time was about 4:30 a.m. when I pulled into the Ralph's supermarket in Newbury Park where I had to clean the parking lot. But before I could start sweeping the lot, I had to go in the back and put the trash in the dumpster. So I started putting the trash in when a few moments later I felt a sudden urge to look up in the sky and that's when I saw it. It was the full moon with two perfectly shaped checkmarks above it, exactly as I had drawn them on the calendar ten months before. The checkmarks were like clouds, but they were the most perfectly shaped checkmarks, as if made with a cookie cutter from the clouds and placed over the moon. It was the most spectacular thing I have ever seen. After a few seconds, they just slowly floated off to the left and disappeared and it felt as if I was supposed to see them. That was the single most significant experience that I had witnessed, up to that point in time anyway. It has been the catalyst for most all of the research and for most all I have done since then. The moon was so bright, the checkmarks so perfect and so unnatural. Ever since then I have had the feeling that I have an obligation to do something, an obligation that I haven't quite figured out yet. For the next couple of years or so I had a hard time dealing with the experience and, quite frankly, I still have times when I become emotional just thinking about it. Imagine this happening to you. Could you ignore it? Have you realized the true significance of what I have just told you?
SO, DID I RECEIVE AN AFFIRMATION ON THAT NIGHT FROM SOMETHING NOT YET UNDERSTOOD INDICATING MY SUSPICIONS THAT EVERYTHING WAS CONNECTED WAS IN FACT A CORRECT ASSUMPTION?
I think it is appropriate at this time to make an appeal to anyone who was living there in California at the time and who may have seen what I saw that night to please contact me. Someone else had to have seen it and I urge you to let me know as soon as possible.
Not long after that night, I was sweeping the trash from a K-Mart parking lot and amongst the trash I found a paperback book, The Psychic Power of Pyramids by Bill Schul and Ed Petit. I picked it up and thought to myself that what I need to do is read and do more research. I then started making weekly trips to the bookstores and bought every book I could find on UFOs, pyramids and just about every other subject that had to do with the paranormal and unexplained subjects not normally accepted by mainstream thought. That is how it has been ever since then, constantly checking the bookstores, making sure that I get the newest publications on matters of the paranormal, especially UFOs and it's related subject matter. Now with the internet, always making sure I "know what's going on."
During the year and a half or so that I remained in California, I made a list of what I called a table of connections consisting of topics of the paranormal, and well, just about everything from UFOs, Atlantis, cryptozoology to the Bible, the Kennedy assassinations and the vast array of conspiracy theories that have been put forth through the years. After more than 34 years, that list has been refined and enlarged to include all the current events/problems that we face as a human race today.
There were a couple of other things that happened to me while I was living in California that deserve to be mentioned here. I don't remember the exact dates/sequence of these two events but they are experiences that are forever etched in my memory. I came home one night and saw a fireball streaking across the sky above the apartment I was living in at the time. It lasted only a couple of seconds, and moved in a straight line, towards the SE, I think, and then disappeared abruptly. Of all the nights I spent driving at night while going from job to job at work, I still don't know why I remember the night when in Simi Valley I was driving through some fog and then everything seemed as though it was in slow motion. I will have more to say about this later.
Little did I know that this was only the beginning of numerous experiences that I would go through for the next few decades of my life. As I look back on everything that has happened to me up to the present, I have to ask... Is everything connected?

AN ANALYSIS
So, what could possibly explain this extraordinary moon/checkmarks event? Having researched the possibilities over the years, I have come up with a few possible scenarios that could shed some light on how it came into being. Of course, there's no way of proving one way or the other the real cause of the "happening". Granted, some of these scenarios fall into the category of "way out" science fiction but nonetheless I'm still confronted by the fact that this was a real event. Let me make it clear that I simply do not know the cause, I'm just theorizing towards the solution. Of course, it may turn out that none of this really matters, but given the potential that may be hidden within the manifestation of the event, I seriously doubt it.
1) In the book, ATLANTIS RISING written by Brad Steiger, he mentions that in prehistoric times the earth was inhabited by a race of cosmic super-beings who had come here from another solar system. He quotes in his book, " The Elder Race possessed fantastic mechanical devices, which Shaver calls 'mech', capable of projecting three-dimensional images, extracting or implanting thoughts into others' minds, scanning over great distances, curing diseases, producing food and clothing and killing and destroying life when necessary." If there is still an Elder Race responsible for some UFO sightings, is it that far fetched that they are still using these 'mech' devices? Yeah, I know, science fiction. Does anybody really know the limits of very advanced technology?
2) I mentioned above the time I was driving through Simi Valley one night while working going to another parking lot to clean and then encountering some fog and feeling as though everything was in slow motion. In my research, I have learned that this is a common trait of alien abductees when they are about to or are in the process of being abducted. Could I have been abducted some time before the moon/checkmarks event? If I was, had one of the aliens conducted a mind scan and read my thoughts and then knowing of my previous "stupid little game" acted upon it and somehow reproduced it for me to see that night? Was I programmed or induced by hypnotic suggestion to look up at the exact time it appeared? I simply do not know.
3) Did I make an arrangement in a past life to go through these experiences as a reminder of my place in the universe, or perhaps, as a catalyst to ascend
in my spiritual evolution?
4) As explained in Dean Radin's book, ENTANGLED MINDS, was there some sort of "quantum entanglement" taking place that could account for the event?
5) Was this a case of my higher self expressing itself?
6) In UFO/paranormal literature there are a more than a few accounts of formations in the sky when common symbols are reproduced in cloud-like form. Some examples are as follows;
a) This account appeared in the 1955 book by Harold T. Wilkins, FLYING SAUCERS UNCENSORED ; "August 16, 1934 - Reichenbach, Prussia - It is reported that a swastika (the Nazi symbol) was clearly formed by white clouds in the sky over Reichenbach, on the day President von Hindenberg was buried. It was visible for some time. Large numbers of people saw it."
b) A related incident also from the book FLYING SAUCERS UNCENSORED is described as follows; "May 7, 1944 - During an air raid alert in Ipswich, England, many people saw in the northern sky a perfect cross silhouetted against a blue-turquoise cloud. Some people declare they even saw there the figure of Christ with bowed head and crossed feet. The image formation lasted fifteen minutes. The Rev. H. Green, whose church was said to have been crammed to the doors, said the phenomenon was God's call to the nation, and an omen of victory. He denounced a Londoner, who had written about it skeptically, as a vulgar scoffer. "
c) From the book, UNMASKING THE ENEMY by Nelson S. Pacheco, PH.D, and Tommy R. Blann (a must read for any UFO researcher/investigator), here is a relevant reference regarding cloud formations; "...Unusual cloud formations and mysterious fogs have also been associated with some UFO events over the years. These unusual cloud formations and fogs usually precede the appearance of the UFO. "
COULD THE MOON/CHECKMARK EVENT ACTUALLY HAVE SOME UFO CONNECTION?
Reader's thoughts and comments would be deeply appreciated.

The nuclear threat and the voice
| ican-2017.pdf |
Two months after the moon/checkmark event on March 28, 1979 the Three Mile Island incident happened and I took special notice since it was on my birthday. From then on I added to my studies matters concerning twin threats against us, the nuclear arms race and nuclear energy proliferation. Of course, these two issues were on my original list of connections.
In the summer of 1980 I moved to Montana and became active with the peace/anti-nuclear movements due to my consciousness being lifted to a higher level by the moon/checkmark event. During the couple of years I lived there I became acquainted with the deceptive maneuvers and downright lies that the global elite deployed against the nuclear freeze/peace movements, always trying to justify through their "nukespeak" the rationale for developing, testing and deploying the evil nuclear weapons against the sanity and well-being of the planet and its inhabitants. It continues to this day despite the hungry cries for peace by all those still active for a planet free from war and nuclear weapons.
It was in Montana and elsewhere that launch sites for nuclear weapons were often visited by UFOs and were cause for concern because they seemed to be monitoring the installations, as well as, interfering with normal operations at the facilities. What the real intentions of the UFOs were are still a matter of debate.
I moved from Montana to Long Island, New York in late 1983 where I continued to be active with the Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign up until August of 1990. By then, tensions between the two superpowers seemed to ease with the fall of the Soviet Union and the urgency of dismantling the nuclear weapons of mass destruction was quelled by the deception of the powers that be. But between that period of time, I went through a number of UFO/paranormal experiences. The first and one of the most significant was in 1985.
When I was looking for an apartment to live in, I had found a promising ad in the newspaper so I decided to call and find out more about it. This, I think, was in the afternoon and when I called a young lady answered the phone and I started to ask for details about it when all of a sudden a voice 'broke in' that sounded like an old man. He said, "I know you...I know you...I know you...I know you...I know you." Each 'I know you' sounding louder and more desperate than the last one. I don't even remember how the conversation between me and the young lady ended, I can only remember the old man's voice repeating that sentence over and over.
After hanging up, I immediately went to my files and found the name of a paranormal investigator, Cammy Kenyon, and called to tell her about what had just happened. She asked me if a close relative had recently died and I told her not that I know of. She then said that I shouldn't move in to that apartment. I took her advice and found something else.
So, for these past 34 years, it has been my mission to find out who it was that so desperately made it clear that...HE KNEW ME! With my previous experiences still forever etched in my memory this "happening" only added to my attempts to find answers. Perhaps, before I can truly know myself, I have to know the identity of the "old man". Little did I know that my experiences weren't over yet.

before I continue...
What follows are more accounts of my experiences over the years that have continued up to the present. I urge other UFO/paranormal researchers and investigators to consider them in their research and investigations. I know that there are others that have had same/similar experiences and perhaps some of them will come forward and share those experiences with me. I have endeavored to present the following experiences as accurately as I can recall them and hope somewhere there are some answers to the mysteries they represent.
"everything will be alright"
In the mid 1980's something else happened to me that wasn't anything paranormal, but was just a strange experience. I went to Smith Haven Mall to check out the bookstores and get some items that I needed. I was walking inside the mall when an elderly lady, perhaps 5' 2'' in height, came up to me and ask if I was alright. I kept walking, but she persisted in saying things like "Are you alright?", "Everything will be alright.", "Don't you worry, everything will be alright." and "What's the matter, is everything alright?" I tried to tell her that everything was OK in between what she was saying but she was persistent in asking me if everything was alright. She then patted me on the back and said, "Don't you worry about a thing, everything will be alright."
What stands out about her is her foreign accent which I assumed was Hungarian or some other East European language. But it was almost as if she knew what I had been experiencing there on Long Island and perhaps knew what was to come. At least that is the impression I was left with, I don't know why. This experience has been forever etched in my memory, like the rest of my UFO/paranormal experiences.
And still, I have to ask myself..."Is this connected to everything else?"

strange nights
If my memory serves me correctly, the next couple of experiences occurred between the winter of 1987-1988 and the summer of 1989. I don't know the exact sequence of events, I just know what happened. Unfortunately, back then I never thought of keeping a journal to record the events as they happened, but nowadays I keep a journal just for those types of events.
One of the first things that occurred during this time frame occurred around 4:00 or 4:30 in the morning after I got up to let my cat outside. When I went back to bed, it wasn't long when I heard a voice enter my head, a distinct monotone, mechanical sounding voice that said "You have nothing to fear." I was lying in a fetal position on my left side and upon hearing that voice I briefly opened my eyes and tried to move, but when I tried to move it felt as though fingertips pressed down on my right shoulder and on my right side and then I was prevented from moving. It then felt as though I was given a shot, an injection of some sort in my right hip. The brief time I had my eyes open, I didn't see anything, or being for that matter that should have been there. Whatever it was, it must have rendered itself invisible. in my opinion. I don't know what happened after that.
On another night, I was lying in bed when all of a sudden there was a bluish-white light that entered my apartment accompanied by a high-pitched sound, a sound that resembled crickets chirping. I then remember having my eyes barely open and lying flat on my back then noticing little cloud-shaped formations at the foot of the bed. I don't know if it was the next morning or another morning when I woke up lying under the covers flat on my back. I thought I had a shirt on when I went to bed the night before, but on this particular morning I was just in my underwear and when I lifted the covers there was a V-shape cut in the front of them and blood stains... (but everything was alright). I know I would never have gone to bed like that and I am not sure if these experiences happened on the same night or separate nights. But that's all I can remember about them. Just know that they happened.
There were times, and I believe these were after the above happenings, when I would be lying down on the couch and dozing off when all of a sudden a paralysis would take over that felt as though it originated inside my brain. I would become incapacited for a brief period of time, perhaps 5-7 seconds each time and I remember struggling to break free from it each time. I don't know exactly how many times this happened but I would say it occurred at least five or six times. I remember one instance when I had one of those paralysis episodes and having the sensation, and vision, of having my body being floated out of the window. And then there was a time when I remember lying on the couch looking out the window one night and noticed some odd yellow, green and red lights moving down the street that seemed to be rotating. It was very brief but it's what I remember. I guess it could have been anything... mundane or unusual.

It was very brief but it's what I remember. I guess it could have been anything... mundane or unusual.
"Flying submarine - winter 1989
I had a UFO sighting in the winter of 1989, I think it was January. I had just gone out the door up to my truck outside on the way to a LIUFON meeting when I just happened to look up and noticed a bright white light moving slowly towards the North at quite a low altitude, perhaps just above tree top level, over my apartment. I briefly lost sight of it in the trees and roof of the house, but I kept on looking for it and that is when I caught sight of it again...but it wasn't the bright, slow moving white light I had first noticed...it had burst into an array of multi-colored yellow, green and red lights in the shape of what I would describe as a "flying submarine", without the protuberances on top. In other words, flat on top. There must have been at least 30 - 40 multi-colored lights on that thing, kind of like a Christmas tree. I could see it sort of "banking" over Long Island Sound heading towards Connecticut. The object made no sound I was aware of and I will never forget it.
After arriving at John Ford's house for the LIUFON meeting, I immediately filed a report with a drawing of what I saw. Perhaps what I had witnessed was one of the many UFOs seen during the Hudson Valley UFO sighting flap in the time frame.
A drawing of the object is on the UFO SIGHTINGS page.

the mutilated rabbits
Something strange happened one night in a neighborhood that I had been working one night in the Spring/Summer of 1988 or 1989. I was in the lawn maintenance/landscaping business while living on Long Island and was doing some landscape work for one of my best customers and hadn't quite finished the job and had to come back the next day. That night the customer called me at home to ask me a few things about the work, etc. and I could hear helicopters in the background but at the time I didn't think anything of it. There was a lot of helicopter activity on Long Island during the mid-late 1980's, probably due to the UFO flap that was happening during that same time frame.
When I returned to the customer's house the next day, I really wasn't prepared for what I was about to witness. When I got close to his house, I noticed a dead rabbit next to the curb and when I got in front of his house I noticed another rabbit, decapitated, very close to the flower bed where I had been working the day before. I then went to the side of the road at the curb where the other rabbit was and noticed that there was a circular "cut" in the abdominal area with no blood on or near the body. Both rabbits were drained of blood and the rabbit up next to the curb was also missing it's eyes. I was dumbfounded and then looking towards the mailbox in front of the customer's house, I noticed a yellow streak in the grass starting at the curb leading all the way to the front of the house. The yellow streak was about an inch wide and about 30' in length. I then walked to the side of the house and noticed that the shrubs that I had just planted looked as though they had dried up and turned brown at the top. They were just shriveled up.
I might have dismissed one rabbit, but two rabbits in the condition they were in led me to conclude that they must have been victims of who or what had been mutilating animals on Long Island during that time frame. I couldn't believe what I had just seen and thinking only of documenting what was there I went home and grabbed my camera, stopped and got an ice cooler and some ice and went back to take pictures and retrieve the rabbits. I put the rabbits on ice in the cooler to "preserve" them.
I then notified John Ford of LIUFON and later in the week I went to his house with the rabbits where they were placed in formaldehyde and sent to Dr. Altschuler out west for further examination. However, to this day, I still don't know what the results were and I'm still curious about it. The pictures were submitted to LIUFON and there they remained until the unfortunate events of 1996 when the archives were seized by local law enforcement after John Ford's arrest.
So, why did I find those mutilated rabbits in that neighborhood at the house I had been working? Is there a connection here somewhere?
