What is at the North and South Poles?

 

On Google Earth imaging the North and South Poles, I can't help wonder why they produce strangely stellate patterns like starbursts.

Review "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" Season 5 Episode 13 on History Channel

 

Tonight on "Beyond the Gates" the season-ender episode is entitled "The Rocky Road Ahead." The team is interviewed on their plans to retrieve whatever is in the mesa. 

Tonight on "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" on History Channel is entitled "The Breakthrough." The team utilizes a multifocused study of all the active areas and possibly come to answer the questions about what is going on at the ranch. 

Another episode of 'Behind the Gates" is entitled, "Hot, Hot, Hot Spots." The team is interviewed about how the phenomena on the ranch might all be connected. 

BEHIND THE GATES - "THE ROCKY ROAD AHEAD" 

This interview was focused on the mystery of mesa from inside and out. They talked about the mesa glowing, the holes they poked around in that revealed a strange metallic item, sucking in the smoke bomb's smoke, and the metals dug up during drilling. They moved on to discuss the future of the mesa research. They admitted they want to insert instruments into mesa to see whatever that "dome" is within the mesa.

Before the season ender - they recapped the research there - 

They reshowed the things from early in the research - glowing mesa, beams of light heading skyward from the mesa. This became a recap of the findings of seasons. This included investigating if the mesa had been blown up to cover a cave, followed by drilling attempts. There was a drilling obstruction and the dig spoilings showed flecks of metal. This metal was shown to be manufactured and have properties of spaceship tiles created for protection on reentry. They went back over the history of drilling the mesa. 

 

THE SECRET OF SKINWALKER RANCH "The Breakthrough"

 

The episode opened with the drill site. The drill team got an instrument that could help remove the pipe from the mesa that is stuck. The team had drilled two boreholes going up inside the mesa. The team is racing against coming weather that could make it impossible to work anymore. The fantastically talented drill team got it - pipe retrieval. They became ready to drill again. 

Mobile LIDAR arrived with an incredibly accurate LIDAR unit. The team is looking to gather more info about the whole region. 

A rocket will go up in the East Field to stimulate phenomena, and the mobile LIDAR vehicle will drive from there toward Triangle and drill site, and homesteady 2. Looking from ground to helicopter above to find anything.

While flying his helicopter, Cameron will wear nightvision goggles to see anything unseen around him. 

Drone radar device will dance around between the locations. 

Kaleb will use hand-held LIDAr unit. 

While all of this is going on, the drillers will continue drilling into the mesa that evening.

A burner from a hot air balloon will be lit up to try to encounter the blob-like anomaly at 31 feet up. His speed nightvision, thermal, and IR - throwing everything at this while stimulating phenomena. 

After dark, Cameron took to the sky 1000 feet above the mobile LIDAR vehicle in the East Field. 

They then lit the rocket. The perfect rocket launch was followed by the mobile LIDAR vehicle past Triangle, past drill rig, past Homestead 2 with Cameron shadowing up above in the helicopter.

Jim Royston's drone then went up to the area where GPS data had been confused and also where a UAP went through the mesa and out. 

The LIDAR vehicle turned and headed back to start. It appeared that Cameron thought he was over the LIDAR truck, but he was far away from it. Cameron was eyeballing it and was seeing something different between Cameron's position and the truck's position. Cameron was visually seeing it beneath him and he was 50 yards away. It appeared to be a strange optical distortion.

The LIDAR truck got to the end of the second run. The Chopper went up again to 2000 feet versus the 1000 feet they did the first runs. They are hoping this gives a perspective for seeing what might be above 1000 feet.

They launched a rocket again. Cameron could not see  the rocket launch at all. 

The LIDAR on the drone picked up something in the air over the weird "spire" found on photogrammetry study. It is possible this might have been what blocked Cameron's view. They found yet another strange image of the potential cone-shaped anomaly.

Next, they decided to run the hot air balloon flame and look for the blog at 31 feet again. 

They decided to have Cameron go up 5000 feet to get him out of the range of the cone-shaped anomaly. The goal was to see if he could see thins on the ground accurately out of that range.

All LIDAR, drone, and FLIR were on the flame experiment. 

Cameron in the helicopter had static on the radio during the burning of the flame. The next time the flame went on, Cameron once again had static on the radio. They once again shot the flame to test the effects. Some odd shadow thing went across the edge of the mesa very quickly. The smoke from the flame seemed to hit something invisible and push off to the side.

Cameron radioed from 10,000 feet and said there are small objects that keeps flying past him.

The drilling unit managed to get a bore hole all the way through the mesa and out the top. They should be able to insert instruments into the casing once they have an 18" hole to study what is inside the mesa. 

The team was left with more data in one evening than ever done. 

The team realizes it's almost snow season so they are going to have to pull the pipe out and let it sit until they can drill the larger borehole and add casing to put instruments in. 

The team congregates in Brandon's high rise building. Joining them was Jay Stratton who was overseer at the ranch under Bigelow, also, two members of ASA Americans For Safe Airspace. 

Erik began to review the experiments with Travis's input. 

They brought up Pete Kelsey who managed the LIDAR data. The data that showed up on the terrestrial LIDAR showed the pillars of anomalies - the cone strucute they got before. Pete revealed the mobile LIDAR from the truck passing back and forth. It showed data that shouldn't be there, much like the tower data. 

Jim's LIDAR drone showed again gaps in the data right where the "in" point was on the mesa (the point where the UAP entered and then exited the other side). The drone flights showed exact same gaps in same spaces. The repeatability is amazing and shows the biggest anomaly is at the "in" point. 

Pete revealed in the East Field he found a strange anomaly - LIDAR data points below the surface. LIDAR cannot see through the ground. It is impossible. The anomalous data underground reflects anomalies in the sky. This shows an anomalous, donut shape above and below the ground in the East Field. This is similar to what was found in the triangle. 

Travis says to have such a "doorway" they would need to bend space and time. 

The team then reviewed the helicopter footage from Cameron's encounter with weird flying objects. Previously a couple years ago, Cameron saw a few UAP orbs go by the helicopter at around 5000 feet. This happened again. 

Looking at one the cameras mounted under the chopper, they found something very weird. A light appears in the river. in the south field It is in the area that they had a dead zone of equipment. It's very amorphous and bright. It appeared to have collided into the mesa and sort of melted into it. This was also the area where they found what might have been the remains of a dire wolf. 

They reviewed the time they found a 1.6 GHz signal at Homestead 2 and found that it was coming from the sky above, as well as a rocket that managed to get stuck in the air for several seconds. Travis ponders if whatever is in the mesa is the thing that is affecting all these anomalies.

Brandon asked the team what they should do next. Thomas spoke about the borehole and that they can come back in the warm weather and re-bore it to 18" diameter so instruments can go in there and measure what's in the mesa and gather what shape it is. They can also see if they radiate radiation. 

Erik showed the GPS data they got this summer - it's enormous. They realized that they need AI algirithm to help find what all is going on, to look for patterns.,Omnitech is installing Athena (AI) to the ranch to help sort through this. 

my commentary - 

The experiment was comprehensive and as best they could, they covered the ranch top to bottom. I am pleased they are bringing on the AI technology to look over the tons and tons of data that humans can't handle. 

Perhaps my favorite line was when Travis said that this phenomena they can't recreate with the technologies and knowledge they have now. 

I'm please with the season overall. It's exciting to think that right now they are likely filming season 6 in the summertime. They may have answers right now that we won't know about for a year. I am patient and I want them to do this right. 

Whatever is revealed, I suspect traditional sciences will be humbled, if not humanity.

Gaia Channel Review

 

I suppose everyone is motivated by a string of experiences. I have had encounters with many unknown subjects. I was born dead and it took over four minutes to get signs of life. I grew up in a Civil War hospital where I could read object's histories. I constantly observed ghostly activity in our home to find the correlations and instigators. 

As I've been an adult, my Bell's palsy event and subsequent synkinesis has had me on a track of learning to use my immense capabilities in nurturing and psychic skills to learn to heal people. My grandmother was an Appalachian midwife and healer, giving my mom the recipes, and handing them to me. 

It's taken me on quite the journey of discovery. To stay with my tribe of like-thinkers, I subscribed to Gaia Channel.

Review "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" Season 5 Episode 12 and "Beyond Skinwalker Ranch"

Before the usual episodes, there will be a "Behind the Gates" interview show at Skinwalker Ranch. This one will focus on the team answering questions about the Triangle area. 

Tonight's "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" is entitled "Drone-ageddon." Another swarm of drones experiment ends in a shocking result. 

Tonight's "Beyond Skinwalker Ranch" is entitled "Ranch From Hell." The team investigates an abandoned ranch in Taos, New Mexico with claims of demons. The team begins what appears to be a conversation. 

👽👽👽

*NOTE:  I'm on a brief getaway during these shows, so I've caught "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch." 

"The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"

This episode was stunning. The team sent up a swarm of drones in the East Field and triangle areas. Then, suddenly they started dropping from the sky like fire embers. Upon review, they discovered many mysteries. The rocket they shot off, disappeared for a few moments in flight and then the light was seen again. It was as if it went behind something. The virtual reality-steered drone did the same thing at one point, seemed to disappear behind something. The team was utterly bafflled by this. As well, a light popped out of the mesa and back in again. 

The team then decided, before the season ends, they need to cover the East field, the mesa exit point, the triangle, and the Homesteads. 

my commentary - 

I'd love to see the team take satellite imagery of the mesa from way back and over the years to see what boulders and areas have changed to see if Bigelow did, indeed blow up and cover something. We saw that at Mt. Wilson (Bigelow's other property) where Bigelow plowed under all that equipment he utilized to dig for a supposed crashed spaceship.

Review: "Longlegs"

 

I ventured out to see "Longlegs" with my son who has been a lifelong horror fan. I didn't know what to expect as I heard that Nicholas Cage was the bad guy and I, ahem, haven't thought of him as award-winning in any sense. 

This movie, however, made me realize Nick Cage didn't have his genre before. I truly believe he should be up for an award for this one. He was so chilling and eerily comfortable in this maniac role. I didn't even recognize him.

Amazing Cave Find in New Mexico!

 

This post is by researcher and author David Claerr.

The renowned wilderness guide and adventurer Don Monroe was exploring a cave in a remote area of the state of New Mexico. He was accompanied by his companion and fellow explorer. The cave was extremely well hidden and his long history of exploring caves had him pull back a great degree of growth to enter. As Don was suffering kidney stones at the time, he was getting antsy to leave, but he just had to know what this well-hidden cave had to offer. His companion took a single photo of a room that appeared to be completely worked over and fashioned for the display of some figures. Sadly, as Don's kidney stones became worse, the couple had to rush off to the nearest big city where he spent days on antibiotics and recovering. They headed back to his Montana base and began some other explorations, setting aside the cave find. Don was not sure of the importance of the find, and it left his mind for many years, although he kept the photo his companion had taken. 

The two statue groups each had a pair of figures crouching back-to back, and each pair was connected in the back, having been hewn out of a single block of stone. They sat atop of a raised daiz of a sort made of thin sheets of stone.

The two statue pairings had similar, yet distinct styles, as though created by different artists. The type of stone used is also different.

The elements that the statues had in common were the crouching stances, arms folded across the belly, large heads with bulging eyes, pug noses, and thick-lipped wide mouths with protruding tongues.

The amazing fact is that these peculiar elements are found almost exclusively in the  back-to-back conjoined tiki figures from the Polynesian islands of the Marquesas.

The Marquesas Island chain is in the South Pacific, about the same latitude as Peru. New Mexico is about 5,000 miles to the Northwest.

The montage below is comprised of sculptures from the Marquesas.

Another remarkable comparison is that the smaller pair of the New Mexico figures have the same type of round caps or hats with a distinct brim as do the Marquesas figures. The larger pair from the cave have rounded caps or hair-styles as do other Marquesas figures.

So how could the Marquesan-style  figures make the transit from the Marquesas, far to the north and inland to New Mexico?

There must have been a set of remarkable circumstances leading to this conclusion. 

However, it is an established fact that Polynesian voyagers in ancient times crossed the Pacific from west to east, originating with seafarers in Taiwan. Anthropological, Linguistic and now, Genetic Data has confirmed this. 

The Polynesian culture, originating with the indigenous peoples of current-day Taiwan, after centuries of seas travel, coalesced in the Islands of Samoa, a base from which they eventually made very lengthy sea voyages on large double-hulled canoes or catamarans.

illustration by David Claerr 

The catamarans had sails on pivoting masts that enabled them to sail in any direction, even against prevailing winds, by “tacking” or sailing at a diagonal into the wind. 

The Polynesians also used the ocean currents for travel, drifting with the current, lowering their sails. 

The Marquesas, at the farther eastern edge of their range were probably settled by Polynesians by about 800 AD/CE.

By sailing north from the Marquesas, the voyagers could catch the Equatorial Counter Current, which would carry them from west to east, enabling them to reach the shore of South America, most directly to Columbia.

The return trip was accomplished by riding the Southern Equatorial Current directly back to the Marquesas. The Trade Winds also blow from east to west in that area of the Pacific, and would speed up the voyage considerably.

A very interesting and significant result from a comprehensive Genetic Study revealed that Native South Americans from the region of Columbia had reached the Marquesas and interbred with the local populations, probably about 1150 AD/CE. 

Since the genetic input from the Colombians indicate that just a few persons had interbred, it is most likely that they were brought from Columbia to the Marquesas. Alternatively, voyagers from Columbia may have reached the Marquesas.

It is noteworthy that there was a significant amount of maritime activity along the western coast of Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, Panama and Mexico that was well established before the arrival of the Spaniards and other Europeans.

For example, there is the account of the Incan prince Topa Inca Yupanqui, who voyaged with a fleet of thousands of hand-picked sailors on a voyage lasting at least nine months. He went in search of two islands that two merchants (likely Polynesian) had informed him about. Historians surmise that the islands Topa Inca Youpanqui reached were Mangareva and Pascua in Polynesia.

Another example of ocean travel was the modern voyage by Thor Heyerdahl on a primitive balsa wood raft, the Kon Tiki from Peru to French Polynesia, which is relatively near the Marquesas.

Paths and Timings of the Peopling of Polynesia from Genomic Networks

On another trip, while visiting Easter Island, Heyerdahl found depictions of what appear to be reed boats with masts and sails. The one pictured below is carved on the stomach of a moai.

So it seems plausible that there were a significant amount of ocean voyages, not only for exploration and colonization, but also for trade and commerce. 

The trade networks were most established along the pacific coast, ranging from South and Central America up through Mexico and possibly to California. 

Voyagers traveling north along Mexico's Pacific coastline, would eventually sail into the Sea of Cortez (or Gulf of California) where the Colorado River empties into the sea.  From the Colorado River delta, smaller craft, such as canoes could travel north along the Colorado, and head east along the Gila River from where it flows into the Colorado.

The Gila River crosses through Arizona and continues through New Mexico. The headwaters of the Gila would be only 35 to 75 miles overland from the current possible locations of the cave, which has yet to be determined exactly.

Therefore, traders following this route, or sculptors  from the Marquesas could reach the cave in New Mexico. The sculpted figures could have been a trade item, or Marquesan sculptors could have carved them on location. 

If the cave, together with the sculptures, can be relocated and thoroughly analyzed, many elements of this mystery could be determined, such as:

Is the stone local, or of Marquesan Origins? Perhaps dating by Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) could place the time period the images were placed in the cave.

Other methods, such as Uranium-Thorium dating may determine the age or time of creation. 

It is also notable that the cave in New Mexico seems to have other carvings and symbols on the walls and surfaces that may have archaeological importance. The cave should be subject to a comprehensive search, using metal-detecting equipment, fluoroscopes and UV scanning devices, among other techniques.

(Note the cave surface on the left has a hand carved in bas-relief that resembles the hand of a tiki placed on the abdomen of a figure. Perhaps it is a part of a larger sculpture.)

In the future, there may be an expedition to re-locate the cave and a real-time documentary film produced. Follow Sharon Day on this blog and also on Facebook for more developments!

Below is the original photo - 

Even the interior of the cave looks worked by chisel, as well, showing a carved ledge. As the two did not go further into the cave and had to get Don immediately to a hospital, there is no telling what all the cave was used for and by whom. It is hoped with more details of the location, this can be discovered as one of the most vital ancient finds in America.
