| Illanelli Haunting Profile: Media Account and Recent Case Log Posted: 08 Jun 2011 08:43 PM PDT
A series of online videos, which have received exposure through YouTube, show an "entity investigation" taking place at a Llanelli home. Whistles, chirps and whispered words in Welsh and English are clearly audible in the video. As things have continued to go bump in the night, the terrified occupants of the Llanelli house — a couple with four children — have called in a specialist. That person is Irene Allen-Block, who lives in a village in Carmarthenshire. "I have been able to identify spirits since I was 9 years old," she said. "I knew I was able to do this sort of thing after having an experience when I was very young. "I always knew my ability was special and that I was meant to do this kind of thing." Mrs. Allen-Block has made three visits to the home of the family, who do not want to be identified. "They are absolutely terrified," she said. "The woman living there says she has not been able to sleep properly for three to four months. "I try to explain to her that spirits feed off negative energy. "Her husband has been continuously ill, sick and has even collapsed. "The other night he said that he woke up feeling something squeezing his neck crushing his Adam's apple." The real-life ghost whisperer has been a paranormal investigator for 40 years and says she does use some recording equipment to capture electronic voice phenomena and visual anomalies. She also employs coordinate and scientific remote viewing, seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target using subspace perception. While visiting she said she had witnessed things moving around, and the family said things had even gone missing. "My investigations show two earthbound spirits, an old man and a child, and also a woman from the 1800s. "We thought they were a family, but after attempting to channel the spirits, it seems like she is demonic and from an alternate reality or dimension," said Mrs. Allen-Block. "We think the female may be holding the two earthbound spirits back. "She whispers, mimicking members of the family, even when they are not there." Mrs. Allen-Block claimed this kind of paranormal activity was a growing trend in Llanelli, with this being the second in the past four months. "There was another big case recently at a large house in Felinfoel," she said. "The client brought me in because anyone who had anything to do with the house ended up dying — even a repairman at the house fell off a ladder to his death." "I managed to solve that case and now I want to solve this too. A recent remote viewing at the house has also led Mrs. Allen-Block to believe there were ghostly links to a Llanelli pub. "The viewing took us to a pub where there was a long bar. It focused on an old man looking angry. We believe it may be at The Vine on Station Road," she said. Andrea Howells, landlady at The Vine, said there may be a link. "We have heard quite a lot of noises over the years, but have always blamed that on the old floorboards," she said. "You never know, there may be something going on here." Mrs. Allen-Block is founder of Spirit Rescue International, a non-profit group that looks to clear spirits from haunted and entity infested locations. "We check out the geography and then once we move the spirits on we counsel people if they need it — the trauma doesn't end for them, the fear is still there," she said. "I have never charged a penny — I don't believe in making money from my gifts." "You see so many TV shows these days which just exploit the dead. That is not what it is about." "I get satisfaction when I see smiles on faces," she added. ----- Llanelli Haunting Update: Hi to all....prior to the remote view session on Thursday June 2nd we conducted a quick meeting with those team members present who were also going to listen in on the remote view. There were a few developments from the on-site session the previous day (Wednesday June 1st). First of all, the two days previous to the on-site session Irene and I had been discussing about how we were approaching this case and that there may be something we are missing. We completely broke down the evidence again and looked for avenues we may have missed. I came to the conclusion that Monday night (after staying up all night) there may be an occult aspect involved. I went back through several personal references that involved the occult and other information that had been passed down to me over the years. I then formulated a binding consecration as well as a protection talisman and blessing for Irene to use during the session. Strangely enough, during the on-site session the client shared information that had just came to mind that was relevant...(be aware, we never mention anything occult related to the client or our suspicions during the entire session - as well as before or after) The client said that about 4-5 years ago, her niece, who was 7 at the time, slept over in the red bedroom (the bedroom where the activity has been strongest). The girl woke up screaming about a woman in white who stated that she was "a white witch." Another recalled event....the client husband was walking by his own house a couple of years ago, looked up at the red bedroom and saw a woman in white in the window. She also related that her first paranormal experience happened when she was 13 or 14, and that her brother used a Ouija board. The client's 2 year old daughter is also seeing apparitions. She says, "boyz here." When the client asked the girl if the boys were being bad, the girl said yes. So, the client told the girl to give them a smack if they are being bad. The little girl has done this on more than one occasion. She swings her arm as if to deliver an exaggerated swat and then her hand stops mid-swing, as if making contact with something, and the girl looks satisfied that she succeeded in hitting what she was the only one able to see. During the on-site session, everyone present, even on Skype, became ill during some point. When reciting the blessing in the bedroom, Irene said she felt like her head was going to explode. The lights / orbs are unusual as well (in the bedroom, living room and hallway)….similar to sparks from a "sparkler." The living room, the bedroom above, as well as the adjoining wall and hallway seem to be where the entity concentrates its activity. It has also been discovered that some parts of Llanelli have an underground river…the town was built on top of it. ------ JOIN SPIRIT RESCUE INTERNATIONAL Spirit Rescue International invites you to apply for voluntary positions within our organization.

SRI team members Karen, Tammy, Joe and Vanessa listened to the session. Irene set the target coordinates for me and monitored the session. We systematically executed 4 phases in order to perceive the target and to gather as much information possible. In Phase 1, the coordinates (a set of two - four digit numbers) were given to me...from which an ideogram (a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept) was developed. Irene initiates the coordinates Primary descriptor: Hard Advanced descriptor: Energetic Color/texture/size: Red and yellow, no idea of size - a feeling of static at my feet. Irene repeated the coordinates. Structure, hard, manmade Colors: blue, yellow, white Soft, size 5' x 5' Irene repeated the coordinates. Subject, soft, manmade Colors: blue and yellow Soft, and grainy too. Sort of rough, like porcelain with bumps or ridges Size: maybe 1' at most. Irene said she recognized what this was now. Irene repeated the coordinates. Subject, semi-soft, man-made, blue, yellow, with a little white - "getting darker around it, hard to tell the colors now." Porcelain with bumps on it. Size: hard to tell, may be smaller than a foot. Irene repeated the coordinates. Subject, semi-solid, manmade and energetic Colors: blue, little yellow, maybe a little pink too. Bumpy (or ridges) on surface, over smooth porcelain. Size: 8-10 inches - can't really tell - definitely has ridges or bumps. Irene says she knows exactly where I'm at. In Phase 2, the target vignette was narrowed by probing for sounds, textures, temperatures, colors, luminescence, contrast and smells. Through this information I was able to focus in on any verticals, horizontals, diagonals, topography, mass and energetics as well as my overall 'feeling' of the target. Sounds: I hear something hard dragging on a surface. It drags a little, stops, drags a little more. It is not loud. Texture: A larger smooth surface that is on or is a bed...dark and smooth. Temps: cool now - was warm when I first started the session. Visuals: Colors: light and dark blue, yellow Lum: dull Contrasts: medium Taste: Sugary, like candy...peppermint candy (Tammy later said she was eating peppermint patties…interesting) Smell: dusty, old smell, not intense. Magnitudes: Verticals: walls, to the right a wall. Horizontal: dark surface Diagonal: left = stairs Topography: no Mass: feels heavy Energetics: a buzzing sound, very light, fades in and out. I said "Something just flashed through." He got a whiff of something, burned inside of his nose. Irene said she heard the buzzing sound the previous night, and it was fading in and out then, too. Irene asked me how I feel - "Worried." So, she asked me to put down his pen for a moment. In Phase 3, I made a rough sketch or drawing of what I was perceiving. At this point, the sketch included the hallway and stairs. There is also a human hand near the ceiling pointing 'up'. At this point not much else was seen. In Phase 4, I went into a deeper perception of the target. This included sense, magnitudes, emotions, physicals, subspace and concepts. The observations are starting to come together into a primary deduction. Senses: hear client's distinct laughter - hear her running up the stairs. Magnitudes: hallway and stairs, looking down the hall, and up the stairs. Emotional: senses exhaustion, frustration Physical: something sitting in the hallway. An object? It is on the floor. Like a playpen, leaning on the wall. Irene asks if it is "a stair gate, to stop the baby?" I don't know. Concepts: viewer feeling: feel someone or something wants to help. Subspace: something floating near the ceiling – two fluffy, white masses - one up and down stairs; one in the hall to the living room. Senses: louder buzzing sound. "Like dense smoke in a shape, but not human form. Fluffy, off-white dense cloud of smoke. Beige color? One moves down stairs. Other hovers near ceiling in hall and ducks in to living room." Concepts: "Somebody sees them. Somebody knows they are there." (Irene says later that client reports that both she and the baby have seen these fluffy white smoky clouds.) Perception: "It's not good." Now they have faded away. Senses/Subspace: someone calling from upstairs. I began coughing – feels like something in my throat, felt like a feather, and my eyes were watering. Senses/Physical: "OMG. Sounds like horses running in the hallway. It was really LOUD!!" I described it as something running past, sounding like a horse's shoes on the road. (Irene mentioned that Lorna picked up the sound of a horse on the camcorder during a visit to location. Got it on tape, but it was too big a file to send it over.) Irene initiates new coordinates: Structure, hard, man-made Colors: red, brown, white Textures: smooth Size: a room Irene repeats the new coordinates. Subject, very mushy, natural Color: brownish red Texture: no, and no size indicated either Irene repeated the new coordinates. Subject, very soft, natural and man-made Colors: red, brown Textures: hard, smooth Size: 7' high, 3' wide Irene directs me to go back to Phase 2. Sounds: hear glass rattling. Textures: smooth and hard surface Temps: very cool Visuals: Colors: red and brown Lum: bright Contrast: clean, high contrast Taste: no Smell: spicy Magnitudes: Vertical: it goes up and down...it's a cabinet in the bedroom Horizontals and topography: None "It is heavy in mass. Surprised how bright it was." Energetics: actually feels like a glass door rattling. Viewer Feeling: Curious PHASE 3 – Draw a sketch of the bedroom PHASE 4 - Draw a line under what you already wrote in Phase 4. Senses: "Sounds like crying - a kid crying. I heard that rattling too." Magnitude: Dimension/sizes: see a cabinet 7' high by 3 and a half feet wide. Subspace: Two images - "Remember, I saw a hand pointing upwards in the hall before? Now, in a doorway, I clearly see a hand pointing downward. To the right and even with the door, pointing down. Where I saw the hand pointing up before should be directly beneath this." Concept: Irene asked, "How does this feel?" I say "Like a warning,or trying to direct him somewhere." Emotional: heard something over my computer...the word "NO!" Now I hears the words, "black horse" in English - heard "NO" again. Irene direct me to examine the subspace and to draw a line from B (the hand I see) to A (myself). Probe A - then B - then Senses. I saw the hand go down into the wood of the wall, as the one that was pointing upwards moved up. Irene said, "Probe with your hand, the one that is not writing and try to touch the hand you see pointing up." It looks like a hand, but it is rough, wet, cold, and solid. Smells like.....(there is a very long pause here.) "I hear: 'Tell them.'" I asked Irene to hold on. "There is a BIG DOG in the hallway. Like a Labrador...no, a Newfoundland. Big, dark dog. Just standing there - the voice says, "They need your help, tell them!" Irene directs me to mentally ask, "Tell them what?" I hear "No, you KNOW!" Irene has me probe the subspace column again. I don't know what this is - the dog stood up and turned into a stone pillar. Irene asked, "A pillow, you say?" I laughed and clarified, no, a pillar, as a pillar of stone. Irene tried to get me to concentrate on the concept again. Is it good, bad, evil? I can't tell. It is moving around, morphing, saying repeatedly, "No, you KNOW!" (Tammy noted at this point she heard another phrase of the squeaky voice pleading, "Please, help!" So, she is wondering if she is hearing some other voice than the one I'm communicating with.) I heard again, "No, you KNOW!" again. Subspace: Irene says "go back to the A to B drawing. Move along 5' along the line." Senses: Irene says, "Try to touch it". Concept: Irene asks, "What do you feel? Is it good, bad, or what?" I can't tell. "WAIT, it moved behind me!," Something is moving towards me. Irene urges me to imagine I'm being surrounded by white light. I am starting to see the woman from the bar (The Vine, a previous RV location). She is in front of me, staring. Irene says, "Ask what it wants." "Mabel" is what I hear. Irene says, "Ask what it wants. Probe the concepts/senses. How does it feel? Good, bad, sinister? "She died," I say. "She is up to something. Revenge." Irene keeps telling me to probe concepts. "She thinks she was killed. She was good in life. Can't understand why she died. Knows she's dead. Pissed off. Wronged. Looking for something. 1919 date." Irene directs me: "Feel her essence. Open all your senses. DON'T talk to her. Feel the concepts of if she is good, bad, sinister. Don't think...just let it happen." "Sinister is the best word to describe it," I say. "She has a plan for something." "Is she dangerous to you?" Irene asked. (Tammy says she heard the word "NO!" very clearly in response.) "You know." "He did it!" Irene says: "Engage it in conversation..." As Irene is telling me how to talk to the woman in white, the woman seems to be talking too. Irene says, "Try to tell the woman you understand...be part of her...become part of her..." NOTE: Tammy says she heard the squeaky voice gleefully and loudly say, "YES!" and the hair raised on her arms. She felt she had to tell Irene she was hearing the voice and what it just said. It felt important. Tammy realizes this is not going to be a bit of welcome information, but felt compelled to tell what she heard, as it felt threatening me. Irene said she was glad Tammy had spoken up. That if that is what the woman in white wanted, she well may have had that planned all along. Honestly, I was very disappointed, as I had wanted to go on with the connection – now it had been interrupted. Irene continued and told me, "Feel it. Call for Archangel Michael." Irene asked what I was feeling. Warmth flowing up from below me, making me numb, but it is a comforting feeling. The woman in white was beginning to change in appearance – back to the purple dress and her facial features started to soften, as if she was again alive. Something bright, like a light bulb, flashed in my left eye – I felt a overwhelming presence standing on my left side. This agent of benevolence responded to the call. "There is nothing there now. The woman is gone." Irene asked me to describe the vibration. Irene asked me if I saw the woman's eyes as she was changing? I said they were completely dark and changed to light. Changed quickly as I had earlier described. I commented that I briefly felt hot, and Irene said that is exactly what she wanted to hear, as that signals a rising of the vibrational energy while performing a clearing. (Tammy says she heard a voice clearly say, "Lon!" but she doesn't interrupt) The atmosphere is light and warm now - don't feel the entity there at all. NOTE: Now we wait and see what happens....though I do sense that there is another entity at the location. Hopefully we can take care of this sooner than later...Lon -----
Lon states there may still be some residual echoes or something else there. Maybe something still there. Lon didn't get a good feeling about those other two shapes, but feels SHE is GONE. What could not be identified as good or bad, is not evil now. What may be there, is not the woman. Lon feels the worst problem is gone. He doesn't feel the same energy. He thinks the family will also sense it. However, there may still be something mischievous left there. Irene wondered if perhaps Mabel lived at the Pub in 1919. Hard to find out, with the massive deaths from illnesses known as that time, TB, influenza, etc. Vanessa said she felt the overwhelming peaceful calm feeling when the energy left. She was just glad Lon was alright. So, Lon said, two weeks to wait now, to see if the house quiets down. Lon mentioned, when he saw the hands, he saw the word "Green" or "Gren" Tammy then said she had seen the hands as green. Lon said he saw them as Caucasian. Lon said when the finger was pointing down from upstairs, the letters of the word faded away. Irene asked Lon, "How was the hand pointing the last time you saw it?" Lon said it was pointing up. Irene shared that the target tonight was directed to locate the subspace entity and to get it cleared away. She was very proud and pleased that Lon was able to do this work, as he had never done it before. Lon said that tonight, when the woman first showed up, she was walking from somewhere other than the bedroom or living room (the hot spots.) Maybe she came from the kitchen. Lon also mentioned that last night he looked up another word that has been recorded on videos, "du," which means "black." There have been sightings of black horses, Lorna heard horses neighing in the front room. And tonight there was a black dog visual and Lon heard the words "black horse." May be something to that. Tammy mentioned the connection black dogs have with demonic entities in folklore. Lon said that typically a black animal is known as a familiar to witches or those who dabble in the occult. Irene had Lon verify that when he heard the woman speak, he did not see her mouth moving, but it was communicating telepathically.

| Fortean / Alternative News: Shroud of Turin Faked, Trancas Close Encounter and Mecca UFO Posted: 08 Jun 2011 11:25 AM PDT   Shroud of Turin is a fake created by famous master Giotto, claims Italian art expert The Shroud of Turin was made by medieval artist Giotto, it was claimed yesterday. The 14ft length of fabric, said to be the burial cloth of Christ, bears a faint image of a man and appears to be stained by blood. However carbon-dating tests have suggested it was produced between 1260 and 1390. Now Italian art expert Luciano Buso has suggested that the original cloth deteriorated and Giotto was asked to make a copy. After months of careful examination of photographs of the Shroud - the relic is kept locked away and not available to be viewed unless on special occasions - Luciano Buso has come up with an idea worthy of a Da Vinci Code thriller. He says that several veiled appearances of the number 15, hidden in the fabric by the artist, indicate Giotto created the Shroud in 1315 - and that it is a copy of the original which had been damaged and was then lost over the centuries. Giotto was perhaps the best known artist of his time and was made famous for his decoration of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, the fresco that depicts the life of the Virgin Mary and Christ. Mr Buso insists that 700 years ago it was common practice for artists to insert partial dates into their works so as to guarantee their authenticity and it was known only to a handful of people so as to avoid forgeries. His claims, which form part of a new book he has written, would coincide with 1980's carbon dating - which has been dismissed by the Church - and which puts the Shroud's origins in the early 14th century. Buso, who is based in Treviso, northern Italy, said: 'I have examined extremely clear photos of the Shroud and spotted a number of occurrences of the number 15, in the face, the hands, and in one case even shaped to look like a long cross. 'He wasn't trying to fake anything, which is clear from the fact that he signed it ''Giotto 15'', to authenticate it as his own work from 1315. This was not a fake he was asked to make a copy of the original one. 'This original one was probably so deteriorated the Church asked one of the greatest artists at the time, Giotto, to make a copy and then the original was lost. What we have now is a copy of that one. 'For obvious reasons it was not widely publicised that it was a copy as that would have had repercussions for the Church - who I understand have been dismissive of my theory but I am confident that I am correct.' No-one at Turin Cathedral where the Shroud is kept was available for comment but Professor Bruno Barberis, director of the Shroud Museum, said: 'I think the theory is ridiculous. 'His claim that Giotto made the Shroud are not very convincing to me and as far as we are concerned it was not made by an artistic method. Many people claim to have seen Greek and Hebrew writing in the Shroud but it's never been proven. 'We believe that the image on the Shroud was made by the body of a man who was tortured and then crucified - however there are still many tests that need to be carried out to prove one way or another what it's origins are.' Last year Pope Benedict spent several minutes kneeling in front of the linen cloth, after it went on display for only the fifth time in 100 years and he was one of two million people who saw it during a six week viewing. The Shroud has captivated the imagination of historians, church elders, sceptics and Catholics for more than 500 years. Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was obsessed by it and wanted to steal it so he could use it in a black magic ceremony, a monk revealed for the first time last year. The 14ft-long Shroud bears the faint image of the front and back of a tall, long-haired, bearded man and appears to be stained by blood from wounds in his feet, wrists and side. Originally the Vatican had intended for the Shroud's next display to be 2025 but in 2009 Pope Benedict announced it would be brought forward 15 years. Experts at the Duomo in Turin where the Shroud is kept say many tests are needed to establish its origin Experts at the Duomo in Turin where the Shroud is kept say many tests are needed to establish its origin For centuries debate has raged whether the image is that of Christ or an expert forgery from the Middle Ages but what is certain is that experts have never really been able to explain how the image was made. Carbon-dating tests were conducted on the cloth in 1988 and suggested it was from between 1260 and 1390, other scientists have since claimed that contamination over the ages, from water damage and fire, were not taken sufficiently into account and could have distorted the results. As a result of controversy and the fact that dating techniques have improved significantly since the 1988 tests were done, there have been numerous calls for further testing but the Vatican has always refused. The Shroud was given to the Turin archbishop in 1578 by the Duke of Savoy and has been kept in the Cathedral ever since. - dailymail ********** Argentina: The 1963 Trancas CE-2 / CE-3 Revisited Scott Corrales - Inexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic Ufology Source: Contexto (San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina) www.contexto.com.ar Date: Thursday, June 2 2001 The best known episode of an alleged UFO landing and occupant manifestation in Argentina took place in Trancas, Tucumán, 48 years ago. The event was among the most important in the history of unidentified flying objects. It is an episode that has been considered as "an unassailable case and irrefutable proof" within the voluminous and strange pages of ufology. It has also been considered one of the most exceptional events of the history of the UFO problem due to the abundance and quality of the eyewitnesses, the prolonged viewing of the event, and the discovery of physical residue in the area, constituting "the most powerful evidence" in favor of the unusual phenomenon. Since then, the Trancas Case became a "super-classic case of global ufology", according to the Mexican website www.perspectivas.com.mx. On Monday, October 31, 1963, two young women – Argentina, 28 and Jolié, 21 – along with their small children Victoria, Nancy and Guillermo, came in from Rosario, where they lived, to San Miguel de Tucumán, traveling from there to the "Santa Teresa" ranch in Villa de Trancas, where they would meet with parents – Antonio, 72, and Teresa, 63 – and their other sister, Yolanda, 30. A reason for this visit was that their husbands, both Army officers, had to take part in military maneuvers scheduled for that time period, and would be leaving from Tucumán to Salta the following morning, going by Trancas. They had an early dinner and exhausted by the trip, everyone went to sleep in their respective rooms. At around 21:00 hours, Dora Guzmán, 15, a domestic worker living in the back of the house, appeared repeatedly, stating that she could see lights on the railroad embankment, located 200 meters in front of the ranch. The parents were asleep, Argentina was reading and Jolié paid the matter no importance, since she had to feed four-month-old Guillermo. Yolanda, meanwhile, thought it might be a passenger bus. Finally, Dora prevailed upon the sisters to check out the "strange lights" she was seeing. It was a set of five lights, a hundred meters distant from each other or less, three in front and three slightly farther behind to the north (northeast). They blinked on and off with a certain intermittent quality, shedding beams of light in various directions, even lighting up the farm (the farmhouse and the henhouse). They had no discernible shape, looking like sources of light. The frightened women suspected that it could be a railroad accident (it was common for trains to run into cattle) or it could be a team of workers repairing the tracks, as they could see some human silhouettes moving around the sources of light some 500 meters or more to the north. The fear level increased when Yolanda noted the possibility that they might be guerrillas engaged in an act of sabotage (by pulling up the tracks or planting bombs), bearing in mind the rural guerilla warfare of Taco Ralo in southern Tucumán in late 1962. Moreover, the women's' husbands were scheduled to pass over those tracks in a matter of hours aboard a military train, and they were alone with their sick father and unprotected minor children. Searching for another explanation, one of the sisters remembered reading that flying saucers had been seen in various parts of the world, and particularly the case involving truck driver [Eugenio] Douglas (who had seen a device with several entities only days earlier, in Monte Maíz, and had been burned by a thin beam of light). She suggested the possibility that such vehicles could be involved. They decided to go out to get a better look. Seeing a dim greenish light, they thought it might be a pickup truck driven by one of the farmhands and went to the gate. They suddenly found themselves bathed in a light emanating from a source eight meters distant. In an instant, they noticed that there was a vehicle measuring some 8 x 3 meters, with a turret and large rivets on its surface. They were so shocked that Yolanda lost her footing, tripped and in seconds they were inside the home once more. The 15-year-old servant girl came in, screaming that she had been burned, but Argentina and Yolanda ascertained that she was merely frightened. At this point the entire household was awake. The father, in the grip of a nervous condition, tried to go out, but was held back by his daughters. The doors were bolted shut. The family looked out at the phenomenon through half-shuttered windows. One of the young women believed that the beams of light were piercing the walls, but another insisted that they were only coming through the cracks. The same one believed that the beams were extending and retracting at will, but it turned out that they only did so at floor level on certain occasions. The situation was desperate. The mother prayed, the servant wept, the sisters screamed and ran from one room to another, following the alternatives. The witnesses noted that the atmosphere within the house became heavy and overly warm. The nearest object ("F") made a noise similar to machinery in operation, but they could only see a thick and growing mist surrounding it, as well as some lights that gave the appearance of six windows. They were unable to tell if the object was suspended over the ground or resting upon it (the allegedly flattened vegetables were subsequently found there). Forty minutes elapsed until object "F" – the one that appeared to direct the activities – moved eastward and the others did the same, vanishing toward the Sierras de Medinas, some 20-25 kilometers distant. [The sisters] later ran to the neighboring homes to inform them about what had happened, but few neighbors saw anything. Francisco Tropiano, a bordering neighbor, managed to see the eastern end of the site, facing his own farm, brightly lit after 22:00 hours. No one slept that night in the Moreno household. In the morning, Jolié went to the train station to send a telegram to her brother Antonio, who lived in San Miguel de Tucumán at the time of the incident. By the time he received the message – due to the procedure – many other people had heard about it. Even journalists, who did not delay in appearing. Police intervention was subsequently requested. Minutes were drawn up, and the site was placed under custody for a few days without further developments. The Chemical Engineering Institute at the University of Tucumán was asked to analyze the dusty white residue found at the site where the lights had been seen. It turned out to be calcium carbonate with potassium carbonate impurities. The La Gaceta newspaper provided ample coverage on the event, and continued to report on it for many days later. Journalist Arturo Alvarez Sosas remembers: "Along with then news director Ventura Murga and photographer Ernesto González, we went to Trancas to chronicle the experiences of the Moreno family. At the time we didn't know that the phenomenon would unleash such an accumulation of stories and that the movies would finally make all nations of Earth aware of a "close encounter of the third kind" as described by Dr. J. Allen Hynek." Jolié Moreno also notes: "My mother was desperate and my sisters were running around. My son was asleep in his little bed, perspiring in such a way that...outside were those lights, lighting everything up, moving intelligently and those figures...it was like Steven Spielberg's film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which was authorized base on the information that existed on this case. I authorized it." **********   Massive UFO over Mecca, Saudi Arabia....or light reflection? MUFON CMS - 5/21/2011: Wow! I may have taken unknowingly a photo of what appears to be a massive UFO hovering over Mecca. There are so many lights in the mosque at night that an object regardless of how big may pass unnoticed over the massive building. It appeared in two of the pictures I took. It is a little further in one but had moved closer in the other. I took this photo with my Nokia N95 in the evening of May 21, 2011. I was in Mecca for an �umrah pilgrimage with my brother and his family. We posed and took photos before leaving the premises. I didnt notice the strange disc until 11 days later (June 2) while I was dragging the photos into a folder. I am not ruling out the possibility that it could be reflected light but how a reflection fuses into a disc with different colors and produce other lights 5 of which are distinctly bright. Other lights are dim and bluish scattered around the disc. Two days later when I took another look at the photos; I was shocked beyond my ordinary wit when I realized that the photo was a reflected mirror image of the brightly lighted grand mosque of Mecca just below that thing. Compare the photo of the grand mosque at night and that thing in the sky. It is a miniature image of the mosque below. What is this�? **********  How a waxy monkey frog could help treat cancer and arthritis A little-known frog from South America could hold the key to lifesaving treatments for up to 70 devastating medical conditions, Northern Ireland researchers have found. Scientists from Queen's University in Belfast have discovered the poetically-named Waxy Monkey Frog could be used in the fight against cancer. They also found that the Giant Fire-bellied Toad, native to China and Vietnam, has the potential to treat an array of diseases including diabetes and stroke. It will bring hope to the 8,500 people in Northern Ireland diagnosed with cancer each year and more than 3,500 people here who are told each year they have diabetes. The Queen's boffins stumbled upon the amazing breakthrough - which could revolutionise the treatment of billions of patients around the globe - purely by accident. The man who headed up the research, Professor Chris Shaw, said: "The aim of our work at Queen's is to unlock the potential of the natural world - in this case the secretions found on frog and toad skins - to alleviate human suffering. "We are absolutely convinced that the natural world holds the solutions to many of our problems. "We just need to pose the right questions to find them." He added: "It would be a great shame to have something in nature that is potentially the wonder drug to treat cancer and not aim to do everything in our power to make it work." The team at Queen's was testing a range of proteins taken from secretions from frogs and toads when they made the exciting discovery. They realised proteins in the secretions, which the frogs and toads use as protection from predators, can control the growth of blood vessels - a process known as angiogenesis. Professor Shaw explained: "The proteins that we have discovered have the ability to either stimulate or inhibit the growth of blood vessels. "By switching off angiogenesis and inhibiting blood vessel growth, a protein from the waxy monkey frog has the potential to kill cancer tumours. "Most cancer tumours can only grow to a certain size before they need blood vessels to grow into the tumour to supply it with vital oxygen and nutrients. "Stopping the blood vessels from growing will make the tumour less likely to spread and may eventually kill it. "This has the potential to transform cancer from a terminal illness into a chronic condition." Professor Shaw said in future surgeons could remove tumours from a patient and the protein from the frog could be used to stop any remaining cancer cells from growing further. "It wouldn't cure the cancer but it would stop it from developing any further and allow the person to live a normal life," he said. Prof Shaw said: "On the other hand, a protein from the Giant Fire-bellied Toad has been found to switch on angiogenesis and stimulate blood vessel growth. "This has the potential to treat conditions that require blood vessels to repair quickly, such as wound healing, organ transplants, diabetic ulcers and damage caused by strokes or heart conditions." - belfasttelegraph     | ||||
| Tracking Paranormal Activity at Dublin's Connolly Station Posted: 08 Jun 2011 09:35 AM PDT  Ghosts have reportedly been seen at Ireland's Connolly Station in Dublin, leading to some Irish ghost hunters claiming they have received multiple reports of strange happenings at the busy train station in the city center. Perhaps it's not so strange as it sounds, as many commuters found it easy to believe people had died waiting for tardy trains. Paranormalist Tim Kelly told the Herald that he wants to hear reports from commuters who may have witnessed something strange or startling. "We've heard that there is poltergeist activity in Connolly Station," Tim told the Herald. "We want to find out what this is all about because it could be huge." It could be huge, but at the moment it's completely unsubstantiated. Even the plucky Ghost Busters admit they have yet to approach CIE (the Irish train service) and the operators of the station to obtain permission to investigate. But they say they're more than prepared. "It would take an hour and a half to set up. We have thermal imaging cameras, cutting-edge stuff," Kelly explained. "We go in like the American teams - it's a very technical approach. We'll have four or five cameras on the night," Kelly said. "Sometimes the human ear can't pick up the voices and they are only audible once recorded on the audio recorders and reviewed," Tim added. - irishcentral  NOTE: there have been several recent sightings starting in January 2011...but historically, there have been rumors of the apparitions since the 1990's when a major rehab was done on the station. I once heard reports of loud 'booming' sounds in and around the station. During WWII, the station did take a direct hit from a German aerial bombardment but it is uncertain if this was a residual of that attack...Lon Spirit Rescue International™ Providing no-cost professional spiritual help, personal support and guidance Take the first step towards genuine peace of mind  The Spirit Rescue International™ Haunted Help Forum *Join Our Group On Facebook*  ANOMALIST BOOKS Works on maverick science, unexplained mysteries, unorthodox theories, strange talents, and unexpected discoveries.
