274 The Secret History of the World
real story! All that nonsense about ‘Sweet Sixteen’ and a ‘broken heart’ and so on!
What a lot of crap! Sure! If you come to visit, I can show you what I do know! Do
‘ya know something? I am the only person ole Edward ever invited inside his
private living quarters! Ayup! He was a real loner!”
I was already making plans for a visit!
I made the trip back over to the Orlando area within a couple of weeks. I was
truly amazed at what I found. Henry hadn’t been exaggerating when he said he had
been interested in studying UFOs for forty years. His home was a veritable
museum of UFOs! There were paintings, enlarged photographs on the walls,
knick-knacks and memorabilia on the tables; and books! He had a HUGE
collection of books in bookcases and papers in boxes all over his house.
Out of one of these boxes he pulled a loose-leaf notebook containing a
typewritten manuscript. It had black and white photographs stuck in the
appropriate places with corner tabs, and he said it was the only copy. I was
appalled at that and offered to transcribe it onto the computer and give him a copy
on diskette. He said he would like that very much, but he was not yet ready to let
the only existing copy leave his possession. I certainly understood.
The manuscript was about his long friendship with Edward Leedskalnin and all
their conversations. Henry wasn’t one to pry, and that may be why he was
accepted as a friend. The photographs were of Henry and Edward—Henry in his
military uniform—and many others of his children playing among the great blocks
of the Coral Castle.
I regret that I did not read the book carefully—because Henry died in 1996—but
there was no time with all the other fascinating things to do and see. Henry took
me on a tour of his memorabilia, his photographs, and his books. It was just too
much to absorb at once! Finally, we sat down and I was able to ask about that most
interesting of clues that Henry had let drop—that he had been inside the living
quarters of Edward Leedskalnin while Edward was still living. I wanted to know
what he had observed.
Henry described how Edward had done a lot of experiments and knew all kinds
of secrets, but that he was very paranoid. That is why he told the crazy story about
“Sweet Sixteen” and the phony broken heart. It was to put people off the trail, or
so he thought. Edward had the idea that if he let it be known exactly what he
knew, he would be picked up by some government officials and never seen again.
Well, maybe he wasn’t crazy!
Henry told me that, after much, or all, of the Coral Castle had been built,
Edward had moved it from one location to another. Apparently there was some
question of zoning and Edward was told he had to tear it down or move it. He
moved it.
Certain “researchers” have claimed that it was moved because of some theory of
earth grids relating to Sacred Geometry, but that does not seem to be true based on
what Henry told me. It was simply a question of zoning and county regulations.
And, since it was built in a different original location, that pretty much discounts
the idea that the location was important to the act of building. It simply wasn’t,
and the evidence does not support the idea.
The mode of the moving of this pile of rocks was what was so interesting to me.
Apparently, Edward hired a truck and driver; only he would have the driver park
