This is a reasonably sane
question to ask as we are now closing in on technical equivalence to our
apparent progenitors.
As I have pieced together on this
blog. A number of clear conjectures may be spelled out:
1
Mankind’s progenitors arose to modern technical proficiency
around 40,000 years ago. They operated
on the global continental shelf where the climate was generally moderated by the
sea.
2
They explored the solar system using MFEVs or UFOs and
established a system of space habitats to move their population into.
3
After fully vacating Earth, they caused a comet to
impact on the North Polar Ice Cap in order to induce a crustal shift that
explicitly placed the Caribbean into the tropics and powered the Gulf Stream as a heat engine able to end the Ice Age. This
event took place 12,900 years ago.
4
These progenitors were not Gods in the sense we ascribe
but mortal beings with long lifespans.
Noah’s expedition was for the purpose of establishing a working colony
of modern humanity, plausibly upgraded to optimize their effectiveness as agriculturalists. Thus we have these creditable tales of a
pantheon of apparent Gods, but really colony leaders who packed up and went
home after they had all the colonies operating on a self sustaining basis. These colonies were certainly established in
the Americas and Eurasia at least.
Their real centers can only be guessed at now.
5
This easily explains the rather curious nature of these
pantheons in which interaction with humanity was one of humans dealing with humanoids
with similar tastes and similar needs.
What stares through the original stories is a lack of true belief in
mysticism to explain the situation.
These are not Gods but just other beings that can love and be hurt and
die.
6
Once they vacated and left us alone, we no longer had
the day to day proof of their reality and had to make it up as we went by
introducing the mystical solution.
By losing the mystical God(s) and
gaining the real God(s) it is necessary to ask the question of when will they
drop in and reintroduce themselves to us.
It really should be soon just because we will be able to go and explore
the Solar System in fine detail in the next thirty years at most. They may simply wait for us to go and find
them.
However, once the ice is broken
we can expect their presence to become visible and to expect to see tourists
even as travel bans come off for the first time in perhaps six thousand years.
One observation i would make though is that in none of the myths and all that, is there any indication these peoples ever ruled humanity in any manner or even intervened significantly at all beyond establishing our presence here. Their own presence was aloof and more in the image of a summer palace or its like which really describes the Atlantean palace based trade empire rather than a real home of the gods. These 'Gods' always had better places to go.
Will The Gods Of Old Be Returning In Full Force Soon?

· Why do the ancient myths of
Greece and Rome still “speak” to us today? Are the
old gods really the immortals they claimed to be, still capable of
communing with modern man?
· Greece
and Italy
both have a rich history of UFO, alien and other paranormal encounters. Read
the stories here of Greek and Italian UFO witnesses and alien abductees as they
participate in the universal cosmic dance that dates from the times of
antiquity when the gods ruled more openly.
· Are the ancient gods like
Zeus and Apollo biding their time before making a triumphal return in full view
of the entire world? Or is it that they have never left their Mediterranean
homelands at all?
The school of thought categorized as “Ancient Astronauts” has
been a longtime staple of UFO research and lore, most often attributed
to Erich von Daniken, whose “Chariots of the Gods?” sold millions of copies
worldwide and made it to the top of the bestseller list when it was
first published in 1968. It presents a case for, in general, the firm
belief that ancient man and his various civilizations were created and guided
by creatures from outer space or from some as yet unknown dimension.
The theory most often focuses on the stories from the Bible or the
records of the earlier Sumerian and Babylonia
societies, giving short shrift to the equally compelling stories from Greek and
Roman mythology.
In this study you are now reading, the
late Britisher W.R. Drake impressively offers up almost inarguable evidence
that the so-called Gods of Antiquity were not just illusionary but were instead
real flesh and blood beings who emerged from the sky and made themselves right
at home as if this was their world to begin with. Perhaps it is, and we are
but pawns in some unknown chess game being played out as part of the
grand design. As an extension of Drake’s understanding of primordial
cosmology, we must state our unwavering belief that the Space Gods
continue to keep a watchful eye on the Mediterranean region and
haven’t forgotten their past interaction with the people of the area,
some of whom still hold a high degree of reverence for the deities their
ancestors encountered and held forth with and conceivably even copulated with.
The old stories from Greece
and Rome
continue to resonate today, and are given new life by the UFO mythos that began
to take hold on the public mindset in the 1940s.
For example, there are the stories surrounding the Greek
god Hermes, born the son of Zeus, who was considered by the Greeks to be
the father of gods and men, the ruler and preserver of the world. Hermes plays
many roles and appears in many different ways in the Greek pantheon.
Writes author Keith Thompson in his book
“Angels and Aliens,” “Hermes is the swift-footed messenger of the gods
between heaven and earth, from which he derives his character as a god of
oracles. As a messenger or herald, Hermes has access as well to the
underworld, guiding the souls of the departed to rest across the threshold of
life and death.”
Hermes also serves as the
mediator between conscious and unconscious, surface and depths. He is the god
of “persuasive speech,” or oratory, as well as a patron saint of liars and
thieves.

Alien Space Gods Of Ancient
Revelations Of The Oracle Of Delphi

A story is told about Hermes that took place when he was
barely a day old. He stole a herd of cattle belonging to his half brother
Apollo, covering his tracks as best he could. When the theft was
reported to Apollo by a local mortal named Battos, Apollo
dragged Hermes off the couch where he pretended to sleep and
delivered him to Zeus, who would surely punish Hermes for his cattle
rustling. Without a hint of shame, Hermes denied the accusation and
then took up a lyre and began to make music for Zeus and Apollo, much to their
delight. They did not believe Hermes’ protestations of innocence, but they
were irresistibly charmed in any case.
When Hermes further
ingratiated himself to Apollo by giving him the lyre he had been playing,
Apollo made a present to Hermes of a divining rod and along with it
the power of prophecy, which Hermes must communicate not by words, which
was Apollo’s domain, but by signs and occurrences.
All of which added to the complex nature of Hermes’ communications
and revelations.
“Whereas Apollo insists on single
meanings, clear and straight like an arrow,”
Thompson writes, “communications under the sign
of Hermes borrow from twisted pathways, shortcuts and parallel
routes. It makes many round trips and ends up sometimes in meaningful dead
ends. The paths of Hermes are multiple.”
Yet if Hermes were merely a
liar, Thompson observes, then no one would listen to his stories.
“This is a crucial point for the UFO
phenomenon as well,” he writes, drawing a comparison to our
fascination with the wonders from the heavens we have come to call the flying
saucer mystery and the gods of the sky. “If each and every sighting invited a
definitive explanation, there would be no controversy about ‘meanings.’
UFOlogists (pro and con), like Apollo, are interested in ‘proving’ things. Hermes (like
UFOs themselves?) wants to win over the audience and get applause, even if it
means twisting the truth.”
THE PERFECT HUMANS
Admittedly, we know very little about
the true nature of the Greek religion beyond the myths and legends that have
survived into our present time. What we do know is that about 1200 B.C.E.,
the residents of what we would call Greece
and Asia Minor shared a common, undisputed
belief in a group of deities from the heavens that came to be known as the
Olympians.
The world famous Erich von
Daniken has devoted an entire book to the subject of Greek mythology
called “Odyssey of the Gods,” in which he suggests that the Greek gods were in
fact extraterrestrial beings who arrived on Earth thousands of years ago.
On a website devoted to the Greek/Roman UFO connection as part of the
NetScienta posting, an unnamed author writes, “Archeological evidence and the
writings of the ancients, including Aristotle, prove these gods interbred with
humans, performed genetic experiments, and bred ‘mythical’ creatures, such as
centaurs and Cyclops.”
The same author explains, “Greek gods
were a way of explaining the unexplainable in a person’s life. According to
Greek mythology, there once was a time when great events had occurred and the
gods had involved themselves in human affairs. These gods were described as
‘the perfect humans.’”
Zechariah Sitchin once remarked that
people often say the gods of old, with their love affairs and various intrigues
and jealousies, are “just like people.” But Sitchin said it’s the other way
around, really, that we as people are just like the gods who made us, imperfect
and weak in many ways.
The Greeks’ creation story goes like this: Prometheus and Epimetheus
were spared imprisonment in Tartarus because they had not fought alongside
their fellow Titans in the war with the Olympians. Having found favor, they
were given the task of creating man. Prometheus shaped man out of mud, and
Athena breathed life into his clay figure. This is a method similar to genetic
splicing, the author declares, which makes the story all the more feasible
given that we can splice genes ourselves now and there is much evidence that
the UFO aliens/gods can do the same. Witness the human/alien hybrid
children that are so much a part of the present day alien abduction phenomenon.
HUMANOIDS IN GREECE
Shifting gears into the modern era,
we come to the sightings in Greece
of humanoid forms, which include a high number of encounters of the third kind.
On the website of our good friend Brian Haughton, Mysterious People.Com, he
devotes several pages to the research of Greek UFOlogist Thanassis Vembos, a
fulltime journalist, author, translator and researcher whose versatile lifelong
interests include the paranormal in all its aspects as well as Astronomy,
Astronautics and science fiction.
Vembos makes the important point that
UFO sightings and alien encounters have never received the attention they
deserve in his nation’s press.
“After World War II,” he writes, “the
only relatively credible medium of information was the newspapers. So the only
source of ufological information was the local press, even though it usually
distorted the narratives and presented information with no substantive details
due to a complete lack of knowledge about UFOs. In fact, the UFO subject was
unknown to the greatest part of Greek society until the 1960s.”
The heaviest wave of sightings in Greece
was in 1954, when all of the European theater was overcome with flying saucer
fever. On Vembos’ own personal site, which you are invited to visit (atwww.Vembos.gr), there are many apparently
well-documented reports listed from that fateful year. We found the following
incident to be without a doubt the most puzzling and intriguing:
“November 20. A strange report comes
from Vovoda village, near Aegion, Peloponnese .
At 7:00 A.M., 84-year-old Helias Coromilas was at his field, at Voulomeni,
outside Vovoda, when he noticed a small object, resembling a small car, rolling
on the road and then entering the field at a distance of about 100 meters (300
feet) from the witness. Coromilas ran to warn the driver of the ‘car’ that
there was a steep cliff in front of him, but when he approached it, suddenly
the ‘car’ took off, making no sound at all and, engulfed in dust, flew away
into the sky. Coromilas said later that the ‘car’ was dark in color, had two
wheels and was 1.5 to 2 meters in size and one meter in height. He considered
the whole event ‘supernatural.’”
In addition to the wave of 1954, other
UFO incidents related by Mr. Vembos keep us fascinated, especially the
experience related to him firsthand by a Greek university professor identified
simply as Mr. G. P., with the name of his home city also withheld in order to
protect his privacy.
It was the year 2001, and the professor
was at home, in the wee hours of Sunday, June 24, watching a late-night talk
show on television. It was approximately 2 A.M. His wife and son were asleep
and his daughter was out. The talk show began to bore him intensely, so the
professor went to bed. He was walking to the bedroom when he noticed that the
kitchen light was on.
“Reaching out to switch it off,” Vembos
writes, “he felt a sense of coldness, like a cold wind on his back. He turned
to see what it was. The thing he saw was like a bolt out of the blue. A strange
humanoid was standing right there, before his eyes. It was a slim, tall
creature – almost six feet – and seemed to be wearing a tight-fitting light
blue ‘coverall.’”
The witness would explain later that,
“It was like the stockings that burglars put on their head, but it was covering
the whole body, from head to toes.”
The face of the creature was “coarsely
formed.” It had only bulges and cavities where the eyes, the nose, the ears and
other facial characteristics should be. The witness said the humanoid’s whole
appearance was like that of a “coarse computer graphic.”
“The witness had the impression,” Vembos
goes on, “that the apparition was masculine. It was moving in ‘slow motion’
with large strides showing great flexibility, ‘like that of a dancer not
touching the floor.’ It came out of the kitchen and went right to the bathroom
(the bathroom door was open). Its movement reminded the witness of a hurdler in
action. In spite of his shocked astonishment, the witness was curious enough to
run after the creature. But it disappeared into thin air. Before the witness
realized what he had just seen, the humanoid appeared for a second time. Now it
came out of his daughter’s bedroom and ran into the kitchen, where it again
disappeared. After that, it made its appearance for a third time, coming out
from the bathroom and disappearing again – for good – in the living room. The
whole ‘chase’ had lasted approximately 30 seconds.”
It was at that point that the professor
felt the sheer magnitude of what had just happened, and he nearly collapsed
from the shock. During the incident he had not had time to realize how weird,
how out of the ordinary the experience was.
“The high strangeness of the incident,”
writes Vembos, “was intensified by the complete lack of any sound. He had the
impression that the apparition was ‘running away from something, trying
desperately to avoid contact with something that was chasing it.’”
Could it have been Hermes, on the run
from his fellow gods after some new form of godlike mischief? Or was Hermes
there to deliver some message to the professor, a message that the gods deemed
him worthy of? If that was the case, one must assume the message was lost in a
haze of mystery.
AN EARLIER VISIT FROM THE UNKNOWN
The anonymous professor has by no means
been a stranger to the unexplainable, offering up another earlier experience to
the Greek investigator/author Thanassis Vembos.
“In 1974, the professor was at home, in
another Greek city,” Vembos writes, “where he was residing with his
family. The doorbell rang and he went to open it. There was a woman standing
on the doorstep, apparently dressed like a ‘nun.’ Her face was ‘indescribably
beautiful,’ ‘radiating dazzling splendor.’ (Maybe it is useful to clarify that
the professor is not a religious person.) The ‘nun’ seemed to be
‘self-illuminated,’ even though the outdoor light was off. The woman asked
him for some money. He turned and reached out to get some from a small box. But
when he turned again to the door to give her the money after a few seconds, the
woman had vanished.
“He was shocked, realizing that there
was not enough time for the woman to vanish. He went out, pressed the elevator
button and saw that the elevator was somewhere on the upper floors. He came
down the stairs and went into the street but he could not find any trace of
her. The experience was not as subjective or illusionary as it seems at first
glance, since his family also heard the doorbell ringing.”
We wonder if this might have been a
materialization of the Oracle of Delphi ,
disguised in more modern garb. She has often been depicted wearing a head cloth
or covering like a religious figure such as a nun. Perhaps she comes back from
time to time, and has done so down through the ages, taking on human form in an
attempt to provide us with contemporary revelations and prophecies.
The professor also told Vembos about a third experience that took place
in 1986 in which he saw an apparition of his mother-in-law as he rode a city
bus full of people. His mother-in-law had died six months prior to the bus
incident.
“He was so stunned that he could not
believe his eyes and could not even try to speak to her,” Vembos writes.
Seeing an apparition of a deceased
relative is also sometimes part of an abduction experience, according to
researcher Dr. David Jacobs. For instance, one may be undergoing a typical
bedroom abduction and see one’s late grandmother at the foot of the bed.
Experiencer Whitley Strieber has frequently commented that the border
between the worlds of the living and the dead is something the aliens can cross
over like we would cross a street.
WHAT THE FIREMEN SAW
Vembos also learned of another incident
there in Greece
that took place a couple of months after the professor’s visit from the
humanoid in his home. The site of the incident was Perati, near Vravona, which
is the location of the beautiful ancient temple of Artemis ,
also called Diana. The temple is still standing and in rather good condition.
“Perati is a hill that John Keel would
have classified as a ‘window,’” Vembos writes. “Lots of strange happenings,
apparitions, UFOs and other unorthodox phenomena are reported there.”
The witness to the Perati event was a
45-year old fireman who was doing a nightshift with two other colleagues,
watching for forest fires. It was the end of August 2001. From their vantage
point atop a peninsula in the area, which had a panoramic view, there was a
deserted heliport – a landing platform about 15 meters in diameter – and a
small wooden kiosk. It was a hot but peaceful night and the firemen were
talking idly right beside a fire engine.
“It was about 10 P.M. when they noticed
a disc-shaped light-colored object flying low and noiselessly above the sea,
coming towards them from the northeast. As the UFO was approaching, their
mobile phones, the CB and their portable radio ceased to function.”
The fireman had a slight impression of
hearing a faint noise, “like a small electric motor.”
“Astounded, the three men saw the UFO
coming down and landing softly on its belly upon the old cement heliport
platform. It was just three meters in diameter, seemed like ‘two deep plates
glued together,’ and its color was whitish or gray metal. It did not have any
discernible characteristics or features. It was half-hidden from their sight by
shrubbery. All three of them were flabbergasted and a little afraid. ‘What are
we supposed to do now?’ they wondered. The fireman felt strange that he was
witnessing something that he had read about or watched on TV programs.”
After a while, a door seemed to open on
the UFO. From inside, a dim light was coming out. Three small humanoids emerged
from the open door and came down a stairway, one after the other. It was too
dark to see details, but the humanoids seemed to wear tight-fitting, apparently
metallic “scuba diver suits.” A hood covered their heads but not their faces.
The witness could not make out any perceptible complexion or details on the
humanoids’ limbs or bodies. The three aliens walked in line for six or seven
meters and then disappeared into the night but the door on the ship remained
open.
The three men, still reeling from the
shock of what they were seeing, started to discuss what they should do. One of
them started to walk towards the landed UFO, but when he was halfway there he came
back, saying that “something” had prevented him from going any further.
A few minutes later, the creatures
appeared again, coming up the same path they had earlier disappeared on.
Walking in line, they entered the UFO. The door was closed and the UFO took off
noiselessly. It flew until it vanished, to the south, behind Perati Hill. After
it was gone, the electronic devices began to function again. The witnesses
searched the landing area for traces, but found nothing.
They did not report their experience to the authorities for fear of
ridicule. A couple of days later, they were doing the same nightshift duties
when they saw another UFO, this time a much larger 30 meters in diameter. The
ship passed right over their heads at a height of about 100 to 200 meters, had
a whitish-metallic color and emitted a sound like “an electrical motor.” The
UFO vanished into the distance, flying above Perati, and presumably over the
nearby temple of Artemis/Diana .
“Detailed research,” writes Vembos, “can unearth even stranger tales
from the rich lode of Greek Forteana – usually disguised as ‘folklore’ or
‘religious miracles.’”
UFOs IN ANCIENT ROME
Ancient Rome
had its share of UFO sightings as well. From the Roman writer Julius Obsequens,
who was believed to have lived in the middle of the fourth century C.E., came a
great historical work called “Liber de Prodigiis,” or “The Book of Prodigies.”
The book was an account of the wonders and portents that occurred in Rome
between 249 and 12 B.C.E.
Obsequens clearly is reporting on a UFO sighting when he writes of an
event that took place in 100 B.C.E.: “When C. Murius and L. Valerius were
consuls, in Tarquinia towards sunset, a round object, like a globe or a round
circular shield, took its path in the sky from west to east.”
Of the year 91 B.C.E., he says that, “At Aenariae, while Livius Troso
was promulgating the laws at the beginning of the Italian war, at sunrise,
there came a terrific noise in the sky, and a globe of fire appeared, burning
in the north. In the territory
of Spoletum , a globe of
fire, of golden color, fell to the Earth gyrating. It then seemed to increase
in size, rose from the Earth and ascended into the sky, where it obscured the
sun with its brilliance. It revolved toward the eastern quadrant of the sky.”
There is finally a third report from
Obsequens, for the year 42 B.C.E., that states, “Something like a sort of
weapon, or missile, rose with a great noise from the Earth and soared into the
sky.”
Since Obsequens was writing in the fourth
century C.E., after Rome
had converted to Christianity, he makes no reference to the ancient gods of his
forefathers. Nevertheless, it was no doubt this sort of observable UFO activity
that kept both the Greeks and Romans of the pre-Christian era further
enthralled by the legends of their gods from the skies.\
THE STORY OF BRUNO
FACCHINI
One may recall the mega-hit HBO
television series, “The Sopranos,” about a crime boss named Tony Soprano and
his nuclear, extended and crime families. In one episode, Tony says to his
henchmen, all of Italian descent, that as sons of Italy
they are also descendants of ancient Rome ,
born of a kind of superior breeding stock that they should feel proud of.
And so it was that Rome
became Italy
over the intervening centuries, and the sightings recorded from antiquity
became the UFO and alien encounters of the present time.
One such Italian encounter story comes
from 1950 and happened in the small town of Varese . According to Billy Booth, writing on
the About.com website, “On the 24th day of April, 1950, 42-year-old
factory worker Bruno Facchini was working the late shift and stepped outside to
get some fresh air on his break. His home city of Varese had just had a severe thunderstorm.
The last distant streaks of lightning were still visible as Bruno decided to
see if the electrical system had popped a circuit breaker. He was completely
taken aback at what he saw not far from the factory doors.”
Bruno went to investigate a bright light
that he thought was part of a transformer problem and was shocked to see a
circular-shaped, glowing object with a ladder descending from its bottom. At
the top of the craft was a greenish glow which partly obscured a light-skinned
being. The strange being appeared to be welding something on the ship.
“Bruno’s first impression of the craft,”
Booth writes, “was that it was a type of experimental craft from a nearby air
base. His impression was quickly altered by the sight of several other small
alien creatures which emerged from the craft. In a moment or two, the ladder
began to be drawn up into the mysterious craft, and the beings began to reenter
the craft through an invisible door of some kind.”
The full realization of what he was
seeing caused Bruno to simply flee on foot, at which point he began to hear a
sound like that of a large beehive.
“One of the remaining creatures,” the
post continues, “pointed a type of weapon at the scared worker and a beam of
force knocked him to the ground. Although in pain, he was able to watch the
last activities of the strange aliens as they prepared the craft to take off.
The beehive-like sound increased as the object made its way into the skies and
vanished from view.”
The following day, Bruno filed a full
report with the local police. Signs that something really had been there the
night before were still visible, such as burned patches on the ground and the
indentation marks of an extremely heavy object. The police also found some odd,
green pieces of a metal-like substance, which were sent off for analysis.
“The results of this test
concluded that the fragments were an ‘anti-friction’ material,” Booth writes,
“containing several types of metal along with a lubricant.”
Later tests of the same material
commissioned by UFO investigators and conducted by a scientific institute
specializing in metallurgy found that the debris was 74 percent
copper, 19 percent tin, and other trace elements, which does in no way cast
doubt on Bruno’s story since we cannot know whether those metals are found only
on Earth.
“Bruno’s story was taken very seriously by all who knew him,” Booth
says. “He was a respectable man, very well-liked and considered to be reliable
and trustworthy. He gained nothing from his tale of the strange object and
occupants he described.”
FETUS OF THE GODS?
In an online posting from the Unexplainable.net website circa 2010,
writer Chris Capps relates the story of an Italian woman named simply
“Giovanni,” who claims to have been taken aboard a UFO for the purpose of
creating a hybrid alien/human race. The notion of an ongoing alien genetics
program has been considered a central element of the aliens’ plan since 1987,
when Budd Hopkins’ seminal work “Intruders” revealed that abductee Kathie Davis
was also used for breeding experiments and even met one of her own half-alien
children while onboard a UFO. The fact that there is an Italian woman reporting
the same thing should come as no surprise.
In Giovanni’s case, there is plenty of supporting evidence, including
implants in her brain, a strange phosphorescent material embedded in her skin
in strange symbols, and even a fetus which was not detected until complications
from her up to that point unknown pregnancy required an examination by a team
of doctors.
“The phosphorous material in her skin,” Capps writes, “has been
analyzed and shown to be a singular glowing material that experts are saying
has not been fully identified and is thought to be made only under extremely
specific circumstances, using magnetic fields comparable to those found in the
CERN Large Hadron Collider. The material was not only discovered within her
skin, but also in her home and in a small patch of burned grass in her yard.”
Meanwhile, her doctors don’t understand the tiny artificial metallic
implants which Giovanni has had in her brain for several years. She claims they
were put in her brain by the creatures who had been abducting her since she was
four years old. She has no idea what the implants do or what their intended
purpose is.
The well-known abductee, Whitley Strieber, once had his own brain
implants verified by doctors using an MRI machine. The scan proved the objects
were indeed there, but were positioned in such a way as to make surgically
removing them impossible without causing some degree of brain damage in the
process. It is generally believed that implants in the brain simply come with
the territory where alien abduction is concerned.
“Finally,” Capps writes, “the most grim bit of evidence is the
undetected life sign in Giovanni’s body that ultimately ended in abortion.
After the fetus was removed, doctors claimed it was certainly not what they
expected. Though human fetuses can at an early stage resemble what many
describe the Grays as looking like, they also said that several developed
features were distinctly not normal for a fetus at that stage, and that it was
likely that the child was either developmentally mutated, or something else had
caused it to exhibit abnormal features.”
Of course none of this was any surprise to Giovanni, who already
suspected that the child was a hybrid implanted in her by her alien captors. By
itself, the fetus could have been an earthly aberration, but, when combined
with the other evidence, her claim of an alien abduction becomes all the more
believable.
The gods of Greece and Rome would mingle their seed with
the occasional mortal woman, breeding creatures half human and half god who
would go on to live their own mythical adventures. Was the strangely misshapen
fetus found inside Giovanni intended to be just such a hero of prose and
poetry?
THE 1978 ITALIAN UFO WAVE
The February/March 2011 edition of “Open Minds Magazine” (website at
openminds.tv) featured on its cover a fascinating account by Umberto Visani of
the 1978 wave of UFOs sighted over Italy that was so undeniably real that
politicians of the time demanded an investigation.
One such sighting took place on September 16 of that year, in a section
of Naples , at
10 P.M.
“Antonio Attansio and Franco Prezioso, two fishermen, were fishing on
the dock. All of a sudden, the water in front of them appeared to boil, with
huge bubbles seven feet in diameter appearing on the surface. At the same time,
the two men could see an underwater beam of light illuminating the boats out at
sea. This beam was very long, thin and greenish in color. After a few minutes,
the beam moved slowly away, and the fishermen could no longer see it because
other boats were hampering their field of vision. As the strange beam disappeared,
the water stopped boiling. The two fishermen were astonished and could not
think of any possible explanation as to what they had witnessed.”
Was it perhaps a visit from Neptune, the Roman god of the sea? While it
is true that some modern day “Romans” still believe in the ancient gods, maybe
there are those who need reminding that the world is stranger and the gods more
powerful than one might be comfortable with.
Another sighting recounted by Visani took place on December 24 of that
fateful year of 1978, in a place called Matera ,
near Mount Gran Sasso, at 7 A.M.
“Benito Franchi, an employee at the power station, had barely started
to work that morning when he began to suffer from a strong headache that nearly
paralyzed him. Bizarrely, at the same time, he felt as if his hair was
crackling. During this time, the controls of the power station went wild, and
the generator progressively lost energy for no apparent reason. Then, after
seeing a strange flash coming from a window, Franchi went outside and observed
a dazzling spherical object flying high in the sky. Franchi called his
colleague, Guido di Varano, and informed him about the events. Together, they
tried to call the police station, but the telephone did not work. The sighting
was corroborated by a local hotel owner and its guests.”
This has been a sampling of the cases reported by Visani, whose
article was itself a small sampling of the many sightings that took place in
1978. At the time, the Italian military admitted to having collected several
reports from prominent and reputable members of the community, and a member of Italy ’s
