Rendlesham Forest UFO & Hy Brasil



In December of 1980, a number of U.S. military personnel, including airmen Jim Penniston and John Burroughs, were stationed at the Woodbridge Royal Air Force base in Britain. At the time, the installation was being used by the U.S. Air Force.

On December 26, military personnel spotted strange lights in the Rendlesham Forest, just outside the base's boundary. Some 40 military personnel and area residents witnessed the lights. It was initially assumed that an airplane had crashed in the forest. Penniston, Burroughs and others were sent into the forest to investigate the lights.

Penniston and Burroughs spotted a 9-by-6 foot triangular craft with swirling yellow and blue lights, hovering a couple of feet off the ground. Their radios malfunctioned and they could feel static electricity emanating from the craft.

They approached the object and took detailed notes of symbols etched on the surface of the craft, which appeared to resemble Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Penniston also touched the craft, causing him to receive subliminal coded messages.

After about 45 minutes, the craft "brightened" and began to rise above the trees, then took off at an "impossible" speed and disappeared.

When they returned to the base, both of their watches were off by 45 minutes.

Later, Burroughs attached sketches of the craft, and Penniston attached sketches of the strange markings displayed on the craft, to their official U.S. Air Force witness statements.

The following night, the mysterious light returned to the forest area whereupon a female base security officer and her partner entered the area to investigate. The craft shot a beam of light at their vehicle, disabling it, then flew off

The strange lights returned for a third night in a row. The Deputy Base Commander, Lt Col Charles Halt, was informed and together with a small group of men went out into the forest to investigate. As they entered the area, radio communications were subjected to interference and mobile generators that the group had brought to illuminate the forest began to black out. Halt and his team then encountered the UFO craft, which at one point fired beams of light down at his party and at the Woodbridge facility.

Lt. Col. Hall had initially assumed he would be able to debunk the reports of a UFO craft, but wound up in a situation he was unable to explain.

Follow-up investigations revealed three small soil imprints in a triangular pattern beneath where the craft had hovered and possibly landed. Plus, radiation levels in the area were high.

Three weeks after the incident, Penniston and Burroughs became seriously ill from what appeared to be radiation exposure.

During this period, Penniston felt compelled to write out the coded message he had received, which consisted of an extensive series of ones and zeros, in a notebook. Once he had recorded the entire string of ones and zeros he was somehow mysteriously able to recall, he was then finally able to sleep well. The notes made no sense to him but he kept them anyway.

Some 30 years later, as the History Channel was making a documentary of the UFO incident in Rendlesham Forest, Penniston's notebook of ones and zeros were discovered to be a message in binary code (commonly used by computers) and was deciphered by submitting the sequence to a binary code interpreter through Internet programmer Nick Ciske.

With very few minor flaws, part of the message reads:

EXPLORATION OF HUMANITY

52^ 09' 42.532" N
13^ 13' 12.69" W

CONTINUOUS FOR PLANETARY ADVANCE

 It was soon determined that the two lines of "numbers" in the message were global map coordinates.

Ironically, this is the map coordinate of the "lost" island of Hy Brasil, an island west of Ireland that seems to mysteriously exist and disappear over time.

The accounts of Hy-Brasil are similar to those of Atlantis but whereas Atlantis was reported by one or two ancient historians, Hy-Brasil has been documented in many first person accounts. Thought to be the home of a highly advanced civilization led by an enclave of high priests, accounts of Hy-Brasil tell tales of advanced technologies, giant cattle, and city towers. Led by priests who proclaimed to have a universal knowledge, the citizens of Hy-Brasil were reported to be highly intelligent and wealthy beyond imagination.

That the island was difficult to find is not hard to envision.  Legends of Hy-Brasil tell of an island that was shrouded in fog for much of the time.

The book, IRELAND -- A JOURNEY INTO LOST TIME, by P.A. O'Siochan, refers to knowledge of a lost island inherent throughout Celtic history and literature, off the west coast of Ireland, called Hy Brasil -- Hy meaning "island" and Brasil meaning "mighty" in Gaelic.

Hy Brasil has appeared on maps as early as 1325 when Italian mapmaker Angelino Dulcert, included the island of Hy Brasil some 200 miles west of Ireland, southwest of Galway Bay. The island was circular, with a river (or strait) running east-west across the diameter.

Hy Brasil had appeared on maps in the 15th century. The island has been documented by many first-person accounts over the course of time.

In 1480, men from Bristol, England, searched for the island.

In 1497, explorer John Cabot found the island and reported that the island had been discovered in the past men from Bristol.

In the 1500s, famed navigator Pedro Alvarez Cabral claimed to have reached the island during one of his voyages.

In 1674, Captain John Nisbet claimed to have seen the island on a voyage from France to Ireland.  His ship was in familiar waters when a fog rolled in. As the fog lifted, the ship appeared to be dangerously close to some rocks, so they anchored in three fathoms of water to get their bearings, whereupon four crew members rowed ashore to visit Hy Brasil They spent the day on the island and returned to the ship with gold and silver, claiming an old man who lived on the island had given it to them as a gift.

Upon return to Ireland, Nisbet reported that the island was inhabited by large black rabbits and a magician who lived alone in a stone castle whereupon a second ship, under the command of Alexander Johnson, sailed to Hy Brasil and returned to port stating they had also found the island, confirming the reports from the Nesbit experience.

In 1872, author T.J. Westropp and several friends claimed to have seen the island appear, then disappear.

According to local legend, Hy Brasil is shrouded in fog and the mist lifts for only one day every seven years. It is believed to be occupied by a highly advanced civilization of priests and monks.

In February of 2012, A private pilot named Niger Gosseur filed a report that there was a huge blanket of fog over the ocean off the western side of Ireland. As he flew over the area, his flight instruments became eratic for a period of three minutes. When he looked below, he observed a green land mass, where there should not be a land mass. The fog then engulfed the land mass as he continued toward Ireland. He believes he saw the island of Hy Brasil.

There were a total of seven global map coordinates deciphered within the binary coded message that Penniston had recorded -- the other six coordinates pinpoint a location in South America, a location in China, an island in Greece, an ancient city in Central America, Giza in Egypt and Sedona, Arizona.

All six of these additional locations are considered by many to be global grid energy vortexes -- perhaps Hy Brasil is also a global grid energy vortex.

Perhaps it may be a key to the lost island of Atlantis or perhaps it is some sort of base for extraterrestrial activity or perhaps it's simply a mysterious island that appears one day every seven years.

Or perhaps all of the above.

Very mysterious, indeed.

The Last Navajo Code Talker



On June 4, 2014, Chester Nez passed on to the Great Beyond at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at age 93. He was the last remaining of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers.

He had been recruited as a teenager in 1942 by the U.S. Marine Corps and assigned to the 382nd Platoon at Camp Pendleton on the southern California coast during World War II.

The U.S. Military chose Native American Navajo as a "code" language because it was determined that the Navajo language had a certain syntax quality that was almost impossible for a non-Navajo to learn and it also has no written form.

Nez and other Code Talkers were shipped out to Guadalcanal in 1942. They worked in teams of two -- one Code Talker relaying the messages and receiving the messages, while the other Code Talker would listen for errors as he was turning the crank on the portable radio. The Japanese enemy was unable to break the code of transmitted messages to and from the field,

"That was my first combat experience, and there was a lot of suffering and a lot of the condition was real bad out there," Nez told Larry King on CNN in 2002 while promoting his book titled "Code Talker."

The Code Talkers were forbidden to tell anyone about their mission, including family and fellow Marines. At first, their Marine comrades didn't know what the specialized Navajo Indians were doing, but that changed over time when the importance of their task became apparent.

Later, Nez also saw action in Peleliu and Guam.

Nez wrote in his book, "When bombs dropped, generally we Code Talkers couldn't curl up in a shelter. We were almost always needed to transmit information, to ask for supplies and ammunition, and to communicate strategies."

Even though the Japanese could not break the code, they were able to pinpoint the position of the transmission, causing Code Talkers to be on the move to avoid Japanese fire.

The Navajo Code Talkers were one of the most important military secrets of World War II.

Nez was discharged in 1945, but later volunteered to fight in the Korean War.

In 2001, the original 29 Code Talkers were awarded the Congressional Gold Metal by President George W. Bush

I'm writing this piece on June 15, 2014 -- Father's Day.

My father was drafted during World War II. He became an officer and flight instructor at the U.S. Army Air Force Base in Blytheville, Arkansas, where I was born. After the war, my parents moved back to their hometown of Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Weston K. Burquest passed on to the Great Beyond on December 8, 2011, at age 92.

Happy Father's Day -- Rest in Peace

Understanding Women



According to Tequila Mockingbird, my imaginary girlfriend, the book of Genesis is missing a few details.

When Adam was hanging around the Garden of Eden, feeling a bit lonely, God decided to create a companion for him called woman.

“She will be very pretty and eager to please you,” God told Adam. “She will gather food, cook for you and wash your clothes when you finally get around to wearing some. She will always agree with everything you do or say and always admit she was wrong when you’ve had an argument. She will freely give you love and passion whenever you wish and always praise you.”

Adam asked God, “What will this cost?”

“An arm and a leg,” God replied.

Adam paused for a moment, then asked, “What can I get for a rib?”

And the rest is history.

It may take a few years, but sooner or later most men finally figure out that women are different. Women somehow know this from birth and look forward to spending their entire lives molding a man into something they imagine would please them.

But creating a diamond from a chunk of carbon rarely works, except under extreme pressure, because men are from Mars, a planet where football is on TV every day of the week, and women are from Venus, a planet where toilet lids are always down.

Understanding women is a lot like trying to understand a pile of rocks. You’ll never know what they’re thinking, even when they tell you what they’re thinking.

Over the years, I’ve picked up a few clues along the way that I’d be happy to share with you.

If a woman says “Maybe” it means “No.”

"We need to talk” means “I need to complain.”

 “I’m sorry” means “You’ll be sorry.”

“Do what you want” means “You’ll pay for this later.”

“You have to learn to communicate” means “Just agree with me.”

“It’s your decision” means “The correct decision should be obvious by now.”

“We need” means “I want.”

“You’re so manly” means “You need a shower and a shave.”

“I’ll be ready in a minute” means “Kick off your shoes and find a good game on TV.”

“Do you love me?” means “I’m going to ask for something expensive.”

“I’m not upset” means “Of course I’m upset, you jerk.”

“Is my butt fat?” means “Tell me I’m beautiful.”

“How much do you love me?” means “I did something today you’re really not going to like.”

Now you know about as much as I know about women -- which is about as much as I know about performing brain surgery with a box cutter and a spoon.
