Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact - Above Top Secret

e wearing its hair in three long tresses on either side of the head.3. The scorpion-men, who have large phallic attributes in one figure but in another case wouldmore properly be called scorpion-women. They are only seen supporting the disk. It wouldbe interesting to find out where the word scorpion comes from in connection with thesefigures. The scorpion-men are consistently about two-thirds the size of men, who in turn aresmaller than the gods. (Professor Douglas Price-Williams of UCLA points out that in theGilgamesh epic the scorpion creatures were the guardians of the mountain of the sun. Thescorpion-man in the Babylonian Enuma Elish was a monster created by chaos at thebeginning of the world. Price-Williams adds: "These creatures would thus be tellurianbeings, 'chthonic' as Jung would have said.")4. Various monsters, such as a horned creature or a sphinx.Why should the observation of a flying disk be represented in the context of an obviously magicalceremony that does not appear to have any traditional characteristic of Phoenician religion? We aretold, for instance, that the Phoenicians held the same view as the Hebrews concerning the survivalof the soul, that they buried their dead with great care, and that their sacrificial ceremonies involvedkilling human beings and sacred prostitution. Why then is it that, if the seals are associated withspiritual or religious values, they depict nothing of this, but do instead show winged disks thatappear to come from a star, contain strange beings who carry off earth animals, and emit lightningbolts? And why are the human assistants wearing special vestments with wings on them?Representation of flying disks in religion does not stop with the Phoenicians. The symbol is a basicone in the early Christian church, and it is consistently associated with the angels. Christiantheology does not have much to say about the angels, just as official Muslim theology remainsdiscreet about the jinn. Some rare documents, however, give details concerning the nature of thesebeings. According to Japanese researcher Y. Matsumura, the religious Sophia, a written documentcommenting on the dogma of the Greek Orthodox Church preserved in the Leningrad NationalLibrary, describes the process of communication between God and the angels:How does the Lord guide His Angel, if the Angel cannot see the face of His Lord? An Angelhas a projection on the upper part of his eyes, where a sacred cloud rests. He has also a thingto recieve sounds on his head. This thing makes noises as an Angel recieves an order whereto go from his Lord. Then he quickly looks at the mirror in his hand, and he gets in themirror something on which an instruction from God is given.I have not been able to verify directly the existence of this document and the accuracy of thetranslation, but it is consistent with a number of paintings, icons, and murals that depict contactbetween "God" and His messengers and contact between the messengers and men. Communicationfor a long time took place through pictorial representation rather than words, and it is not surprisingto find few descriptions of such contact in written language.I am inclined to a literal, rather than purely symbolic, interpretation of the scenes depicted on thePhoenician amulets, and I am also tempted to accept as a working hypothesis that in times remotecontact occurred between human consciousness and another consciousness, variously described asdemonic, angelic, or simply alien. This would explain much of the symbolic power retained in ourown time by the concept of "signs in the sky." It would account for the fact that modern-day UFOsseem to present archaic as well as futuristic designs (as in the representation of the Arabicastrological sign for Venus on the object seen at Socorro, New Mexico, by patrolman LonnieZamora), and it would also explain the fascination that people of all countries and races havealways had for the strange entities from "above."How constant these observations and visions have remained will be seen by comparing thePhoenician seal story with the following letter from a woman who saw a scorpion-man... in ourtime!
