#1. Another Investigator Left His Mark, RIP Earl D. Jones (Ron 
Schaffner) 

Another Investigator Left His Mark, RIP Earl D. Jones 

From Ohio-based investigator Ron Schaffner, 24 Aug 2004 

I have just been informed today that former UFO and Bigfoot 
investigator, Earl D. Jones died last Saturday of cancer. He was a 
Vietnam veteran. Many of you might not recognize this name, so allow 
me to shed some light on the contributions that Earl accomplished 
during the late 1970's and early 80's.

#2. Mangy Hyote: The Glyndon, Maryland Cryptid (By Matt Posner) 

The case of a heavily-photographed cryptid in Glyndon, Maryland was 
sent to me by several readers. The story was picked up by the news 
media, and the increased attention this generated seems to have 
produced a concerted, and successful, effort to capture and identify 
the creature. (It has also produced copyright protection of the 
photos, which, accordingly, I can't include here.) Readers also 
informed me of the "Elmendorf Beast" in Texas, which I will address 
at the end of the article.

#4. The Phobos Incident 

Phobos, one of the two moons of Mars, has itself always been 
considered a rather mysterious object, as has its smaller twin, 
Deimos. Joseph Shklovskii noted member of the Soviet Academy of 
science and co-writer with Dr Carl Sagan of 'Intelligent life in the 
unverse', once calculated from the estimated density of the Martian 
atmosphere and the peculiar "acceleration" of Phobos, that the 
satellite must be hollow. Could Phobos be a hollowed-out space 
station of huge proportions?

#5. Bodies of WWI soldiers found in glacier 

Rome - The bodies of three Austrian soldiers killed in World War 1 
have been found frozen and almost perfectly preserved in an Italian 
Alpine glacier. 

Mountain rescue worker Maurizio Vicenzi discovered the mummified 
bodies on Friday, encased upside down in ice at 3 640 metres 
altitude on San Matteo mountain near the Swiss and Austrian borders. 

"Using binoculars, I saw what looked like a stain on the Forni 
glacier and went to look," Vicenzi, 46, from the northern Italian 
town of Peio said on Monday.

#6. Website Of The Month - Cities of Light (By: Louise Lowry - WOTS 
Staff) 

Cities Of Light are Made in the Image of Man: 

Their Greeting: Creating the new cities of light for the new 
millennium will require a shift in our group consciousness. This 
shift is toward the realization that we are multidimensional beings 
and that our physical reality is nothing more than a holographic 
projection of our consciousness. 

Light becomes the conscious medium of our expression as well as the 
source of our energy. The fullness of the creative power of the 
universe is contained within the light. We are all connected from 
the oneness of this light and from this oneness all things emerge. 
Ideas impinged upon light, propelled by will: this is how form is 
manifested. 

The abundance of information and open of the soul will certainly 
reach right out to greet you as you travel among their website. We 
are so please to offer Cities Of Lights 
http://www.citiesoflight.net/ our Award Of Excellence. Here you will 
find just a few things that are listed in their archives.. 

*Lady Kadjina Speaks - Lady Kadjina comes to us at this time of 
change to help facilitate our shifts in consciousness. 

* Tawatnaw Speaks - Tawatnaw emerges to help explain the dynamics of 
Earth changes 

*Matthew Messages - Matthew speaks through his mother, Suzy Ward, 
and gives timely and insightful messages on today's events 

*Phoenix Rising - A spiritual healer talks about her spiritual 
contacts and principles of self healing 

*Earth Dynamics Reports - Current observations on the state of the 
Earth in a cosmic context 

Congratulation to our September 04 Cities of Light 
http://www.citiesoflight.net/ for their knowledge and spreading of 
the truth.

#9. The Astronaut That Travelled Both "Outer and Inner Space" (By 
Torbjorn Sassersson) 

Former Astronaut and founder of the Institute for Noetic Science 
says: "non local communication forms, such as Remote Viewing and 
telepathy, are possible forms for ET communication, and claimed by 
some", and in another context he adds: "it is time to release the 
constraints on UFOs and extra terrestrial information that has been 
avoided or hidden by most nations, and/or in agreement with 
Extraterrestrials themselves". 

These are astounding statements coming from a highly educated, 
awarded and intelligent man with a lot of credibility and is to be 
taken seriously. Also keep in mind that he is the founder of IONS a 
research institute studying parapsychology, the mind and human 
consciousness. The institute has, by the way, the known researcher 
Dean Radin author of the book, "The Conscious Universe", in its 
staff.

#10. Asteroid Shaves Past Earth's Atmosphere (By: Jeff Hecht) 

NewScientist.com news service 

The closest observed asteroid yet to skim past the Earth without 
hitting the atmosphere, was reported by astronomers on Sunday. 

The previously unknown object, spanning five to 10 metres across, 
has been named 2004 FU162. It streaked across the sky just 6500 
kilometres - roughly the radius of the Earth - above the ground on 
31 March, although details have only now emerged. The MIT Lincoln 
Laboratory's asteroid-hunting LINEAR telescope in Socorro, New 
Mexico, US, observed the new object four times over a 44-minute 
period, several hours before its closest approach in March.

#11. Woman hurt in 'meteorite' strike 

There are thousands of unidentified meteorites in the UK A woman 
believes she was struck by a meteorite while hanging out washing. 

Pauline Aguss, 76, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, felt a sharp pain in her 
arm and when she looked down there was a one-inch gash along her 
forearm. She blamed a peg bag but the next day husband Jack, 76, 
spotted a walnut-shaped metallic rock on a garden path.

#12. Fire Fighters, Disaster Control and the UFO Potential (By: 
Dennis G. Balthaser) 

That's an editorial title that should get your attention. It did 
mine several years ago, and I have finally obtained the book to 
review it. I had heard there was a Fire Officer's Guide used to 
train Firefighter's at the National Fire Academy in Maryland that 
contained a chapter on UFOs. I couldn't help but ask myself, if all 
these rumors about UFOs were untrue, why would firefighters be 
trained on this subject? And like so many other areas of my 
research, one question only produced other questions. In this case 
however, I now have a copy of the Guide and will share that 
information with you.

#13. Raelians share their message, insist they are not 'nuts' (By 
Diane Long) 

''We are not nuts. Anyone can be interested in our message,'' said 
Francois, 58, who goes by that name alone. 

A native of France, he's a medical doctor in that country, he said, 
and he's now working on a doctorate in biotechnology at the 
University of Alabama at Huntsville. 

His denial was in response to a column in The Tennessean yesterday 
that poked fun at their movement. But Francois shared the skepticism 
when he first heard the message of Rael, a Frenchman who claims that 
he was contacted by aliens in 1973.
