The Mars Mystery Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval & John Grigsby
Nicholas Redfern has been interested in researching/investigating the UFO phenomenon since the seventies. He was born in 1964, and via the (Freedom of Information Act), has managed to gather sensitive material on a variety of UFO cases throughout the world.
This includes information on the UK Ministry of Defense. and the American CIA.
One of the more interesting accounts from "Cosmic Crashes" recalls the crash and recovery of an object and bodies, from an UFO which impacted on a Welsh hillside on 20th January 1974.
This occurred in the remote Berwyn Mountains, close to Llandrillo, in North Wales. As in most other cases the information and rumors that were flying around connected with the UFO were soon silenced. (similar to Roswell one might say, when everything was silenced in a very short time)
According to eyewitness reports, a huge object was spotted sitting on the hillside. One such witness who got very close to the mystery UFO, was District Nurse Pat Evans and

her two daughters, Diane and Tina. Pat's description was of a huge
circular ball, glowing orange. She observed it for at least ten minutes,
before leaving. Police and Army personnel whom they met half way down the mountain told them in no
uncertain terms that they had no business being at this location, and quickly escorted them back to
their vehicle. The area was sealed off for a few days, which initiated a hostile reaction from local
shepherds, desperate to tend to their flocks.
An Army recovery team from somewhere in the south of England
had already been given orders to proceed in great haste to North Wales
(this
was given 2 days
before the crash on the hillside
!)
The recovery team (in fact it turned out that were two separate
teams) transported oblong shaped boxes from Llandderfel, near Llandrillo, to the Chemical
and Biological Defense Establishment at Porton Down. Reliable sources can confirm apparently, that the
boxes contained the bodies of "alien astronauts", and some of the crew were apparently still
alive.

His search covers Egypt and the Sphinx, temples of the Andes at Tiahuanaco and Mexico's Pyramids of the Sun and Moon. He uncovers evidence of people who lived during the last Ice Age, and also evidence of a highly intelligent race of people, whose sophisticated knowledge was put into practice before any previously known civilization. His other works include:
The Sign and the Seal: A Quest for the Lost Ark of the Covenant

Above Top Secret-- The Worldwide UFO Cover-UP
If it was known that alien craft have been invading Earth s atmosphere for many years, our religious and scientific beliefs, and our security, would be called into account. Above Top Secret examines the evidence from official documents and testimony from witnesses.
Quite disturbing though is the worldwide silence by politicians, that has left the ordinary person ignorant of the fact that we are at risk of invasion by a potential Alien presence.
A well written book by one of the most respected UFO researchers. Timothy Good s evidence regarding the existence of UFO s is overwhelming. A fascinating read. Besides being a writer, Tim Good is also a professional violinist.

Mars, the fourth planet out from the Sun is similar in a lot of respects to Planet Earth. A complete rotation of Mars around its axis takes 24 hours 39 minutes 36 seconds; compare that to Earth at 23 hours 56 minutes 5 seconds, and you will note that the rotation of both planets are quite close. They both have 4 seasons, and Mars has mountains, deserts and polar ice caps.
Meteorites originating from Mars are frequently found on Earth. To date at least 12 meteorites have been positively identified as Mars "rock"
In 1996 NASA had found traces of
micro-organisms in a meteorite which had crashed in Antarctica. In 1976, NASA s Viking 1 orbiter,
revealed photographs of a "Face" and Pyramids in the Cydonia
region. Mars has been devastated quite recently apparently by a massive meteorite, and has left a
gaping hole which is 7 kilometers in depth and 4,500 in length. Could this be what happened to an
advanced civilization on our neighboring planet?.
The controversial Face on Mars seen here upper right, in the photograph. (check out this excellent site on Mars) www.oocities.org/Area51/Corridor/3452/index.html
The Mars Mystery is an excellent read. Co-written by Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval and John Grigsby.
Robert Bauval is co-author of The Orion Mystery. John Grigsby is a researcher in History, Archaeology, Myths and Legends.
