New Book

Yeah, I know. I haven’t written a new blog in a few weeks. I’ve been so absorbed in writing my second book I haven’t noticed time. But, I’m on a roll. It’s part one in a trilogy, a science-fiction thriller, and the title is—drum roll—nah, I’m gonna keep it a secret.

One of the things I love about writing is the research. I always learn some interesting tidbits. Did you know there’s a tunnel under the Great Pyramid that extends all the way to Tibet?

The Tibetans speak of tunnels lit by a strange green fluorescence where plants thrive and prolongs human life. And that these tunnels were built by giants “when the world was young” and travel under the Pacific Ocean to the Andes in South America.

Speaking of South America. I heard Stewart Swerdlow tell an interesting story about his visit to La Paz, Bolivia. He had been invited down to Bolivia by a national archeologist. When he arrived there, Stewart was presented with a letter signed by government officials authorizing him to a site in Tiwanaku to do research on an underground chamber that was found there. Tiwanaku is on the shore of Lake Titicaca, located on the border of Peru & Bolivia. The archeologist explained to Stewart that in 1981, he & a group of other archeologists, accidently found an opening inside a mountain on the shores of Lake Titicaca. They entered and walked down a long tunnel. There was a foul odor inside, but they continued on & discovered a large chamber. Inside the chamber, they put their lights on and saw laying on a stone platform a 9-foot tall cyclops in suspended animation. And, surrounding the room on all four walls was what we’d call computer equipment. Then suddenly, the archeologists were overcome with a sensation of choking, and they left the tunnel. They covered the entrance, & informed the Bolivian government of the discovery. The government, who at that time was a military dictatorship, immediately bull-dozered the entrance to prevent any further access to the chamber.

Now, 28-years later, after all the documents had been destroyed, the archeologists had a general idea of the tunnel’s location, but had forgotten the exact spot. So, this is where Stewart stepped in. His job was to use his clairvoyant abilities to find the entrance. He was successful, and the chamber has been found again. He also discovered there was more than one entrance, and there’s actually a sierra of mountains that rings Lake Titicaca & the city of Tiwanaku filled with many tunnels & chambers containing 15,000-year-old computers protected by cyclops. It’s believed the cyclops aren’t natural, but a genetically created being to guard these locations in those ancient times.

In order to activate the computer system—which wasn’t electronic—you had to use tone. If you emit the right tone, it activates. The wrong tone, it kills you.

Adventures like these fascinate me. It gives me ideas for stories. Now, excuse me, while I get back to writing my book. ~ AA

Look! It’s A Dot In The Sky!

Remember back in the good ole days of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s when somebody saw an “UFO’—or as they were called back then, a ‘flying saucer’—you saw a REAL ufo? Those old fashion ufos were big. They were detailed. Elaborate. Ornate. Sometimes they looked like wedding cakes, or two plates stuck together. They hovered 10 feet over your head and shot laser beams at your cows. They landed in your front yard, and the ‘aliens’ would pose for the camera.

What do we get now? Teeny, tiny, blurry dots in the sky. You’d think with all this advancement in photo equipment somebody could hold a camera steady and zoom in for a close-up.

But, no. Instead of those upclose and personal “Billy Meir or Howard Menger”-type photos of ‘flying saucers’—in the days before photoshop and CGIs—we get instead, out-of-focus crap of some ‘dot of light’ that’s thousands of feet away.

How did we go from those cool looking flying saucers to teeny tiny dots in the sky? Are the ‘aliens’ having a recession, too? Have they forgotten how to build a ’space ship’? Who’s getting lazy here? Us, or them?

What do we get now? Dots, dots, dots, & more dots (Yeah, yeah. OK. Occasionally, somebody snaps a triangular-shaped craft that you can barely see against a black sky).
