Good book to read, if you can find it, that details some of the older
historical records of UFO's, is UFO: Operation Trojan Horse, by John A.
Keel. It's a very old book, but rather engrossing. I've had my copy since I
learned to read properly (I was about 6 when I got it at a jumble sale). :)

you'll definately end up in the sea, but the sea is a big
place and how you paddle matters.

The same John Keel who wrote "The Mothman Prophecies"?
Have you ever read "Harmonic 288", by Bruce Cathie?
> The same John Keel who wrote "The Mothman Prophecies"?
Possible, he used to be a reporter (dunno if he's still alive or not?)
> Have you ever read "Harmonic 288", by Bruce Cathie?
No, can't say I have.

I have just done a quick google - yes, it's the same one. Still alive
AFAIK.

It is a classic of loony pseudo science and government conspiracy
theories. He manages to fit in everything from Atlantis and ley lines
to measurements of the egyptian pyramids and angles of both latitude
and longitude of the detonations of atom bombs to "prove" something
about a worldwide grid of "lines of force" somehow connected with
relativity. You name it - anything that has ever been on the X-files
turns up sooner or later.
To anyone with the slightest knowledge of mathematics it is an
unwitting comedy classic. For example, he takes an eight digit number,
which he claims is the length of an egyptian inch, moves the decimal
point to the right to get a "harmonic" of the number, adds the
original number to it twice and then divides by twelve to convert it
into egyptian feet. To his amazement he gets back to the original
number! (You can tell he has a pocket calculator that works to 8
figures). This clearly demonstrates the special significance of why
the egyptians chose this number!
He also "corrects" Einstein's theory of relativity to be e=
sqrt(c)+(c^2), and claims that government scientists were amazed at
how accurate it was. I was amazed too!

This lad would get on very well with Graham Hancock.

I do believe some of Mr Hancocks theories about the maths, the numbers tie
up very well, especially that relating to the pyramids. Of course, his
attempts to link Angkor Wat with certain constellations are rather dubious.
