Sea Monsters? 1758 and 1761 (unedited)

 

Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette - Thursday 16 April 1761

They write from Calais, that a Sea Monster lately ran on Shore between that Place, and Boulogne, 48 Feet in Length, and 12 in Thickness. It is not like a Whale. When its Mouth is open, the Distance between the upper and lower Jaw is five Feet. One of its Teeth weighed 17 Ounces.

United States. PORTLAND, (Mafr) Aug. 3. SEA MONSTER. Capt. Crabtree, who lately arrived at Frenchman's bay, and now in this town, gives the following account of a lea-lerpent, the authenticity of which may be dependended on : O is the 20th of June laft, being on my pallage from the Weft Indies, in the morning, having jolt made Mount-Defart Wand, dillant nearly ten leagues, I fuddenly got fight of a Serpent of an enormous fize,fwinsming on the furface of the ocean, its head elevated about fix or eight feet out of water, tather prone forward.

The Scots Magazine - Monday 06 November 1758

A description of the Miscellaneous Plate. Fig. I. and 3. are two views of the real Mermaid, frequent, as Mr Barbot, in his voyage to Congo river, says, in the lakes Angola, in the province of Massingan. The Portuguese, in whose settlements these creatures abound, call them peixe mother, or woman-fish; and the French, syrene. They are found both male and female, of various sizes ; the largest about eight feet long, with short arms and hands, but long fingers, which they cannot close, because they are webbed. They feed upon grass on the sides of lakes and rivets, and only hold their heads out of the water. Their heads and eyes are oval, the forehead high, the nose flat, and the mouth wide, without any chin or ears. The males have genitals like horses, and the females two prominent breasts ; but in the water there is no distinguishing the one from the other, both being a dark grey colour. Fig. I. represents the mermaid when laid upon her back. Fig. 3. shews her as she swims in the water. There are several medical virtues attributed by the natives of Angola to different bones in this animal: some of the cheek-bones they beat to powder, and take in wine for the gravel and stone; of the ribs, especially those next the heart, they make bracelets, and wear them to prevent hemorrhages, or to stop immoderate bleeding, when they happen to be seized with it. Merolla fays, the river Zair abounds with these monstrous fishes, resembling a woman upwards, but the lower part like a fish, and ending in a fish's tail. The natives eat their flesh, which tastes much like pork, and are very fond of it. But, after all, this does not seem quite to agree with the sea-monsters described by voyagers under that name. Capt. Whitbourne, in a voyage he made to Newfoundland, says, that in the river St John, a surprising creature, resembling a woman by the face, nose, mouth, chin, ears, neck, and forehead, and as beautiful, came very swiftly swimming towards him ; that being afraid its leaping upon him, he stept back, and then the creature dived, by which he had an opportunity of seeing its back down to the middle ; which he affirms to be as square, white, and smooth, as the back of a man; the breasts he did not see. He adds, that about its head, it had many blue streaks, that looked like hair, but was certainly not hair; and that afterwards it attempted to get into a boat, but the men being frightened, one of them flruck it a blow the head, which made it quit its hold- This, perhaps, is the most authentic account of the sea-mermaid that has been yet given. In the history of Denmark, indeed, there is an account of creatures seen about Greenland, which the natives call ha stramb, or man-fish, having the eyes, nose, head, shoulders, and arms, of a man; but without hands, and transparent as ice. 

 The females they call marrugweg, or woman-fish. 

 These have large breasts, long hair, arms and fingers webbed, with which they catch fish. The Danes super- stitiously fancy, that when these creatures ap- pear, they presage storms; and that if they are seen with their backs to the ship, it will inevi- tably perish, but if with their faces, it will cer- tainly escape. Navarre, in his Voyages, fpeak s " $ in India and about Manilla, and ta * fpe j the great virtue in its bones; and o' their being caught on the coart ot o 167 a man-filh was leen near the 1 i c atinico; and there are many attel' reality of fuch monfters, that it ' !

Mysterious “Dark Star” Made of Dark Matter Spotted in Webb Telescope Dat...

A Few Words

 

One of the subjects I was going to cover in a book was The False Lights of Durham -a phenomenon noted by Charles Fort and referred to rarely by Forteans (rather like The Killer canids of Cavan). It was claimed by Ufologists/Forteans that these Lights saw the very first official Governmental Inquiry into UFOs.  

I first heard of the Lights in the 1970s and when my late friend Franklyn A Davin-Wilson  bequeathed me his copy of The Books of Charles Fort (1941) I read up on them. I began looking into the reports in the late 1970s and the file was not closed until the early 2000s at which point, unlike some of those mentioning the reports, I had actually looked at the original sources that were twisted slightly for sensationalism.  

My conclusion?  I doubt anyone will know since the book was scrapped. What is the point of heavy research and taking months to write and edit a manuscript if on publication no one buys or reads?  That is a mystery in itself.

There are  total (world wide) views of this blog of 1,174,584

Yes, over a million views and yet no books sell.  Surely, if there is genuine interest in the mysterious and unexplained 300+ pages books, fully illustrated and referenced and not selling you fakery they would be something worth getting a hold of?  Apparently not. If the posts on this blog interest you then just remember this: I have only ever posted (edited) about 5% of what is in the books combined.  

Yeah, I know, no one is interested. 

No one wants to comment. 

Everyone believes George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell. 

Enough said.

Since 1947 it has been claimed that UFOs/flying saucers are evidence of aliens visiting the Earth.  Since the 1950s claims of encounters with landed craft and alien beings were talked about but not taken seriously.

In the 1960s the subject of UFO abduction was a "slow-burner" until the whole "Grey" abduction phenomenon and claims made by researchers such as Budd Hopkins, Prof. John Mack and Dr David Jacobs and Whitley Streiber.

But is there evidence to back up any of the claims -and what about those encountering Alien Entities but who were not abducted?

Are these people all hoaxers, psychotic or suffering from some other mental illness as some claim?

Are those people who were exposed by Ufologists against their wishes, people who wanted to report what happened and then just get back to their everyday lives -thrust into the media glare against their will?

And if US authorities were so interested that in one case at least they broke into the home of two abductees and this was later proven -why?

Why did a hard core of these people never want publicity or to make money from what happened to them?

Above all, why did a major UFO landing incident take place on a US Inbterstate road in front of a large number of observers (all willing to talk to investigators) never get investigated? If it were not for a radio presenter interviewing and taking notes we would know nothing of the case -it would be labelled "insubstantial".

James and Coral Lorensen -the Scopolamine Kids; using a very notorious "truth drug" on alleged UFO witnesses and selling stories to newspapers.  An investigator (a veteran) showing a witness images of "aliens" encountered in other cases before any memories were retrieved.  Worst of all, the constant "pissing competition" and breaches of trust between UFO investigators.

2017 is the time to assess the past evidence and look at the faults within Ufology.

Not everyone is going to be happy -debunkers or ufologists.

Praised by Dr Mark Rodheiger of the Centre for UFO Studies and, below, John Hanson of the Haunted Skies Project and Colonel Charles Halt the officer involved in the Rendlesham incident.

The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) says that we may have to wait many thousands of years before any signals sent gets a response if they are detected.

The real SETI may already have established the there is alien life –and it has been visiting Earth for at least 70 years.

Once the mass of reports of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and entity encounters are sifted there remains a strong core of cases that defy logical explanation and suggest that these encounters have resulted in physiological effects and post traumatic stress.

Terry Hooper-Scharf of the CE3K/AE Project has led research into these reports for over 40 years and in this work takes a look at rare or obscure reports as well as cataloguing encounters from Germany and Portugal and focuses in on correlations in the reports and how the Dandenong (Kelly Cahill) encounter could be the best case ever reported.

Have the serious investigators and researchers looking into UFOs been unearthing better evidence of extra terrestrial life and contact with humans than established SETI ?

There have been many claims of UFO landings and encounters with alien entities since 1947 and while some such as that of Betty and Barney Hill and Travis Walton may be well known they were not the first and certainly not the best incidents. Encounter claims are a world wide phenomenon and not confined to the United States. After 50 years of the CE3K/Alien Entity Study, For this fifth book looking at CE3K/AE reports Terry Hooper has chosen some of the best and least known reports as well as some that might be known but adding much detail; Aveley, Ewloe, Kingfield and others deserve to be better known as does the case of Elsie Oakensen, Bronte Lloyd, Chapters include:

1973 –Year of the “Global UFO Wave” 

1973 –The “Year of the Humanoids” 

1973 –The year of the Pascagoula alien abduction claim 

1973 –Several witnesses observed two Unidentified Flying Objects: one temporarily landed on a US Interstate road while the other hovered close-by. An entity appeared from the landed object. A car driver approaching from the opposite direction stops, turns his/her car and races off. This is classed as a Major Incident in Ufology. 

1973 –a driver observes a landed UFO and entities and opens fire with his gun when he felt threatened. A High Strangeness account. 

Neither of these cases was investigated despite requests for local investigators to do so. Even in 2020 the idea of opening up either as a cold case was flatly Rejected by America’s ‘top UFO investigation’ group. 

Reports now probably lost to history. 

1973 –a year in which UFO reports from African-Americans were frowned upon and ignored. Nothing has changed.

I was checking  whether the look of the page needed updating when I saw that the number of views had gone well past the million mark. No idea when this happened  but that number of views leaves me with the eternal questions:

1. Why goes no one bother commenting?

2. If so many people are interested in the subject matter on this blog WHY does that not lead to book sales?

Okay, with 1 it might be that people simply cannot be bothered or, since this blog has a world wide audience, maybe they are not comfortable writing in English?  You can comment in another language as I do have Google translate.

With 2...,it beats me. People will buy books that are badly researched or contain fabrications. My books are fully referenced and often contain more than a few "lost" or never before seen photographs. The people who have read them are embarrassingly complimentary.

The books were supposed to be my way of earning money and that failed. No support, no sponsorship (I have tried) and no book sales to me count as a failure. I have gone over one million views so perhaps that is a good point to just stop blogging here?

I would ask what you think but after 20 years of no responses I feel I might be wasting my breath.

What Proof Do We Have?

 

It has been a very long time since it last happened but I fell asleep at around 0330hrs and quite literally ran through every CE3K/AE case and my intention, it seems, was to find the perfect case. The one that offers irrefutable evidence of extra-terrestrial visitation.

After all, Ufologists claim no one can deny these cases happened and Preston Dennett on his You Tube channel says that there are "Hundreds of thousands" of these cases on the record and "undeniable proof".  I enjoy a coffee and watching Dennett but his cases presented range from very clearly hypnagogic, altered state and "anonymous" people posting their accounts to MUFON forums, etc. The one reason I have never purchased one of his books is because of that. 

WHY would people report such things if not true?  Psychological reasons, financial ones, to have a laugh or because they genuinely believe what they report happened -the latter are NOT liars and certainly not "mental cases" but have Ruth Syndrome (my first book explains all of that.

A "story" -that implies it isn't true which is why, barring the odd slip, I never use that term just "report" or "account". Anonymous reports may be genuine but when they all follow the path set out by Hopkins and Jacobs they get a low rating. Single witness/percipient cases can get a low to Medium-High rating. I have cited cases where someone is out for a walk or berry picking and they encounter an entity and an object/craft might or might not be seen. Why would that get a higher rating?

1. There were other observers who saw an object take off from the area the encounter happened in or did not see the object like others did (due to where they were) but did report a strange sound as others did.

2.  There were unusual ground markings near the encounter site that match up with what was reported.

3.  The observer is found collapsed or in a state of mental shock and takes days or weeks to recover.

4. In many cases although locals have heard the observers account and know of the other reported activity they do not tell the press about the landing. A Ufologist may stumble onto the account as as shown from 1949-2025 that is used to get more press coverage even if against the observer/percipient wished (the ladies at Liberty were going through hell when Ufologists turned up and threatened to go to the press with their names if they did not cooperate -this is not a rarity).

There are other factors such as:

5. Radiation higher than background radiation, found at the landing site.

6. Power outages.

Whereas power outages can have many causes the fact that a berry picking site in the middle of the countryside before power stations were built or in a country with no random radiation sources around. In some cases, if checked, it is found that the "simple housewife out berry picking" has had a nasty dose of radiation.

There are physiological effects that have no rational explanation and are certainly not psychosomatic -I have seen that first hand.

The observer is therefore telling the truth?  About what?  When they were staunchly "flying saucer stories are silly" then have their encounter it changes things and most are prompted to say "alien".

Do these reports constitute proof?  Adding all the factors together it indicates something happened but not that we were visited by aliens.

I have spent over 50 years now looking into UFOs and these particular entity cases and my life has been spent looking at aviation history, hot air balloon history, satellites and even at military projects that never actually got to fly or if they did so not for long. Fifty, 60 or 70 years after some of these reports no such objects/craft as described have appeared.  We know about the4 Blackbird spy plane and we've even see the various stealth fighters/bombers revealed in the 1990s. But absolutely nothing amongst patents or aircraft designs t6hat match up with what was reported in the French, Italian or Danish countryside in the 1950s. If we had anything as percipients describe then we would not be stuck on Earth saying "50 years? Let's go back to the Moon...if we can manage it" -getting to the Moon would take a few hours.

In the (unpublished 1984 UFO Report) I defined a natural phenomena (UNP -Uninvestigated Natural Phenomena) and cited reports throughout history and these, even in 2025, are called "UFOs" as in "alien craft" and they can create ground traces, physiological effects and even shape shift.  However, none involve an entity so whereas most modern UFO reports are not adequately investigated and UNP becomes an alien craft with an actual object landing and entities seen or encountered  we know that we are not going to simple dismiss the report.

We have percipients/observers seeing what are obviously constructed craft but which are well beyond anything we have on Earth. Put an entity of odd description into that equation and .....

But does that constitute proof?  Again, proof that people are reporting odd things and in a normal world scientists would be investigating rather than illogically attacking observer credibility (if they get that far) or t6he report based on a badly written news item. FAR (Fear of Alien Reality) is so ego and world shattering to even people supposedly looking for ET in space.

When I set about researching UFO Contact the idea in my mind was simple: go for the Classic cases and look at the pro and anti arguments because if I could disprove one case it showed that there was a flaw in any claims. Reports that could be explained I did as you need to sort out the trash from the possible treasure. 

I trashed the manuscript as even taking in the debunker arguments (which fell to pieces under even mild scrutiny) I was not disproving anything and with 40-60 years in some cases for debunkers to pick apart a report even the more controversial ones stood up to analysis.

I restarted but this time with the mindset that all of the reports were fake for one reason after another.  Ah-ha! A debunker had solved a case and proven it fake. Gather more evidence and...the debunker was easily found to have lied.  I tried to pull apart reports bit by bit but in certain cases it was not possible.

After a third fresh start I had to face the fact that people were reporting genuine events and so the cases I could explain I did. The ones I could not explain away I gave as much pro and con information as I could. No wild claims just facts.

Despite the reports that had the most data -94% of such cases were not investigated but just reported on using newspaper clippings! "Hundreds of thousands" of unexplained cases? No. I came up with solid cases and although I preferred reports with 2 or more percipients some single witness reports were unshakeable or shared details not widely known even in Ufology where CE3K/AE reports are still largely ignored (especial;y in this age of super star UAP conmen).

But is even the best report I can think of actual proof of alien visitation?Once more it proves something is happening that science should be looking into (difficult if you wear two eye patches).   What we need is for someone to have an onboard experience and actually steal something that can be analysed -that would be proof.

We have huge amounts of evidence that would convince a judge and jury that something was going on but we need that solid chunk of proof and at the moment Ufology is not interested in that just fake videos and images and a "UFO Disclosure" that will never happen.  Every report should be noted and filed because one day the accounts will slap science in the face so hard.
