More San Luis Valley Sighting

Christopher O'Brien

13th November 1998

UPDATE:

The recent October upsurge in unexplained aerial activity in the San Luis Valley seems to be continuing here in November.

Thu Nov 12, 1998 @ 6:15 pm Northern San Luis Valley Chaffee/Custer/Huerfano County FB1 (O'Brien/O'Brien)

Last night my brother and I witnessed an unusual aerial object. We were driving north in the Baca Development and directly in front of us, framed in the windshield, we watched an extremely bright steady light rise quickly from behind the mountains around the Salida/Howard area.

The light which was initially brighter and slightly larger than Venus and visible for about two minutes shot up and out, SW to NE, at a 25 degree angle. It never varied its speed, which appeared to be twice as fast as a cruising commercial jetliner, or around 1000 to 1200 mph. As it climbed higher, it became smaller and smaller and disappeared to the SE.

The object appeared to be just inside the western side of the La Veta Military Operations area.

SAME NIGHT 9:45 pm Mesita, CO, Rio Grande, Alamosa, Conejos Counties MA1 (O'Brien/Peay)

Two witnesses in Mesita, CO were returning home when they spotted TWO bright, unblinking lights rise 100 miles away to the NW around the Treasure Mtn/Wolf Creek Pass area. The lights moved in tandam-about 1degree apart and appeared to be a single object.

One witness observed the 30 second sighting w/ binoculars. The lights appeared to head SE at around an altitude of 3500 to 4000 feet, (toward the witnesses) before slowly turning and heading south at the San Luis Hills in the middle of the SLV. At its closest point to the witness observing w/ binoculars, the object blocked out the background stars betweeen the lights.

Witness estimated the distance between the two lights as "about 600 feet," and he described the sighting (one of a dozen he has had in the last two years) as being "by far the most spectacular night sighting" he has experienced.

The sighting took place 75 - 50 miles west of the La Veta MOA.

Forbidden History: Prehistoric Technologies, Extraterrestrial Intervention, and the Suppressed Origins of Civilization
- J. Douglas Kenyon (Editor)

Challenges the scientific theories on the establishment of civilization and technology

• Contains 42 essays by 17 key thinkers in the fields of alternative science and history, including Christopher Dunn, Frank Joseph, Will Hart, Rand Flem-Ath, and Moira Timmes

• Edited by Atlantis Rising publisher, J. Douglas Kenyon

In Forbidden History writer and editor J. Douglas Kenyon has chosen 42 essays that have appeared in the bimonthly journal Atlantis Rising to provide readers with an overview of the core positions of key thinkers in the field of ancient mysteries and alternative history. The 17 contributors include among others, Rand Flem-Ath, Frank Joseph, Christopher Dunn, and Will Hart, all of whom challenge the scientific establishment to reexamine its underlying premises in understanding ancient civilizations and open up to the possibility of meaningful debate around alternative theories of humanity's true past.

Each of the essays builds upon the work of the other contributors. Kenyon has carefully crafted his vision and selected writings in six areas: Darwinism Under Fire, Earth Changes--Sudden or Gradual, Civilization's Greater Antiquity, Ancestors from Space, Ancient High Tech, and The Search for Lost Origins. He explores the most current ideas in the Atlantis debate, the origins of the Pyramids, and many other controversial themes.

The book serves as an excellent introduction to hitherto suppressed and alternative accounts of history as contributors raise questions about the origins of civilization and humanity, catastrophism, and ancient technology. The collection also includes several articles that introduce, compare, contrast, and complement the theories of other notable authors in these fields, such as Zecharia Sitchin, Paul LaViolette, John Michell, and John Anthony West.
