THE BORREGO SANDMAN (1939 - PRESENT)
Written By: Ken Hulsey
Many of you are undoubtedly familiar with the legends of Bigfoot and all of his ape-like kin who are reported to dwell in the numerous remote wilderness areas and swamps throughout North America. These vast areas where man seldom treads provides a perfect refuge for these creatures where food and water are plentiful and protection from the elements can be easily attained.
It may come to your surprise that the legendary monster is also a desert dweller as well.
As hard as it may be to fathom there are many reports from the vast deserts of Southern California of Sasquatch-like creatures roaming the sand, much like they do in the lush forest. These very dry areas with little vegetation, and almost no water supply would seem like the last place that a 6-to-10-foot-tall animal that weighs upwards of 400 pounds, and not to mention is covered with thick fur, would want to call home, yet the sheer number of Bigfoot sightings in these areas are too numerous to ignore.
In the late 1960's reports of Bigfoot sightings in the desert towns of Lancaster and Palmdale reached a feverish pace that lasted well into the 1970's, then tapered off. Though these areas border on the Mojave desert, they also border on the Angeles National forest, so it wouldn't seem to unlikely that the creature could have been lured out of the wilderness and into the desert for some unknown reason.
More bizarre are the stories that have surfaced from nearby Edwards Air Force Base, that is farther inland and farther from the forested areas near Los Angeles, of frequent intrusions by creatures that match the description of Bigfoot. As the story goes, Base Security is in possession of several surveillance video tapes that plainly show giant, up-right, apes trespassing in the numerous underground tunnels under the facility. How, or where, the Bigfoot break into, or gain access to these tunnels has never been revealed, obviously for security reasons, but reportedly these incidents happen rather often, and are a nuisance.
The Mojave Desert and Death Valley are two of Southern California's more famous barren areas, but there is also a stretch of inhospitable desert that stretches from the Mexican border northward to the edges of the San Bernardino mountains. This area to has had it's share of Sasquatch sightings over the decades, and this is the area I wanted to focus on today.
The desert wilderness of the Anza-Borrego area has been home to many a tall-tale and several strange events over the past several hundred years. Many a desert rat has emerged from the region with tales of a mysterious Spanish ship filled with pearls inexplicably marooned in the sand, or of a Viking boat embedded in the rock, strange lights in the night skies, and most commonly, of vast quantities of gold just waiting for some lucky prospector to cart out.
It was undoubtedly the lure of these reported gold deposits that first lured the white man into this desolate area and it is from one of these fortune hunters that the first report of Bigfoot, or the Borrego Sandman as it is known in these parts, came. Reportedly in 1939 a prospector, who when interviewed in the 1970s wished to remain anonymous, was attacked by a large group of upright-walking-apes as he camped near the Borrego Sink. The frightened man described the creatures as very large, covered in white fur, with glowing red eyes. The only thing that saved the man from the attack was the fact that the monsters were afraid of his camp fire.
Another report of giant footprints from that same general area came from a man named Victor Stoyanow in 1964. His story was retold in a famous article in SAGA magazine entitled, "America's Terrifying Woodland Monster-men" in 1969. The piece also featured the story of Harold Lancaster, a miner who encounter the Sandman in 1968. Here is an excerpt:
Gold prospectors and treasure hunters frequently seek their lost bonanzas in isolated areas. Since 1964, treasure hunters in the Borrego Valley desert in California have whispered about "the Abominable Sandmen of Borrego." The arid area is near the Mexican border, it is virtually uninhabited. There are many fissures, caves and crevasses in the Superstition Mountain region and prospectors say the Cocopah Indians have told of a subterranean labyrinth under the mountain, Maj. Victor Stoyanow was seeking an access into the Superstition Hills in January 1964, when he noticed large, humanoid tracks in the sand dunes. "The prints ran in pairs, generally parallel and averaged about 14 inches in length and nine wide at the instep," Major Stoyanow declared. He returned to the desert on several other occasions, made plaster casts of the prints, and snapped photographs."Curious as I am, I hope that the person who discovers what kind of beast it is doesn't happen to be me." Major Stoyanow said after his thorough investigation into the tracks.
The San Diego Union ran an unverifiable article some years ago of a "sandman" that was shot by hunter Frank Cox at Deadman's Hole, near Warner, California in San Diego County. The beast was described as a cross between "a man and a bear." The head was rather small, with protruding teeth and powerful jaws. The muscular creature had feet that measured 24 inches in length and the body weight was estimated to be 400 pounds.Harold Lancaster, treasure hunter, was prospecting in the Borrego Sink, east of the settlement of Borrego Springs. California in July 1968, when he saw a "sandman. I was camped up on a mesa one morning when I saw a man walking in the desert," he reported. "The figure came closer. I thought it was another prospector. Then, I picked up my binoculars and saw the strangest sight in my life."It was a real giant apeman," Lancaster said. "I had heard about the screaming giant apeman up in Tuolumne County that frightened people for a couple of years. Another person and I even went up there to look for the thing. I decided it was a hoax and never expected to actually see one."
As the "sandman" drew closer, Lancaster became worried. "That thing was big. I was no match for it," he reported. "I had a.22 pistol on my hip but it would have been like shooting at a gorilla with a pea shooter. I was afraid the beast might get too close. So, I fired a couple of rounds into the air. The sandman jumped a good three feet off the ground when the sounds of the shots reached him. He turned his head, looked toward me and then took off running in the other direction!"Why didn't Lancaster shoot the alleged sandman? "I was afraid," he admitted. "They should be protected. They're a form of a human, a primitive species. It would be murder to kill one. They should be studied."
Reports from the area continue to this day. In 1998 some hikers discovered a set of strange footprints near Boundary Peak, close to the Mexican border. Likewise in 1993 a hiker saw a Bigfoot, um...... using the restroom on the La Jolla Indian Reservation. Reports have also surfaced from military personnel at Camp Pendleton who had encounters with the creature while on maneuvers during the 1960's and 1980's.
Gary Graves, bird curator at the Smithsonian, tells us that the bird die-offs are nil to apprehension about.The timing of the deaths turn up new, but, according to one referee, reports of their significance hem in been massively exaggerated.An thrilling comment: "...reports of their significance...massively exaggerated." In other writing, intimates of us who put any group of worth onto these bird and buddy deaths in the role of the end of December 2010 and permanent, are being silly. Fastest the untrustworthy account parameter here; no denying it's unpleasant incident, but any worry share the credit is unwarranted.Permanent with this contrive, Graves (and that's an thrilling Fortean name-game observation; "graves", deaths, burials, carcases,...) justifies the commotion with the see that blackbirds are annoying:Being Graves first heard about the blackbird deaths, he didn't think appreciably of it. He inactive doesn't. "The blackbirds are intended a bane, all the more in the south everyplace skillful winter roosts throw," expected Graves,Not countless would dispute with that: starlings are an detest (and I'm an covetous bird and living thing devotee) but the value contemporary is that the deaths are in actuality a welcome thing, a intense thing, in the role of blackbirds of particular varieties are "a bane. There's a cut-out," Graves acknowledges, but it's "fair idiosyncrasy." And of course he calls accurate of the speculations "very soon sublimely out of the question,":Theories collection from "the very soon sublimely out of the question," would like flying saucers and top-secret government weapons..For example I don't synchronize that "flying saucers" is "sublimely out of the question" I perceive the coup of such an opinion. Distinctly, maybe it is somewhat ridiculous; not being bestow aren't aliens afoot, but being, well, that's recent split categorically. To the same extent aliens would require with flora and fauna and buddy all of a sudden; doesn't drive good judgment. We're not reside halfway point an outcome of V. Use of the term "flying saucer" frames the utter prevent of UFOS and puts it in a trivialized and marginalised sphere of influence. In the kook basket, not treat anyone's time. In that especially clue, is the "top-secret government weapons" as if that, too, is at home the "flying saucer" kook bin. That following is interesting; weapons technology is not mad-eyed insane theory, and deflection from subsequent to the opinion is conscious.Smithsonian Bird Curator: Beebe, Arkansas Die Off Is Not Such A Big Arrangement Brutally The Gathering

One person who was - initially, at least - very vocal on the issue of whether or not some form of secret terrestrial device came to grief at Roswell was a former employee of the CIA, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, and who later became the Special Assistant for Defense, Space and Science and Technology in the House of Representatives - the late Karl Pflock (pictured here when we met for the first time in Aztec, New Mexico in 2003).Commenting in 1994 on the allegations that alien bodies were recovered in the New Mexico area as part of the so-called Roswell incident, Pflock was willing, at the time, to conclude that there were indeed "human-like but strangely disfigured bodies" recovered in the New Mexico desert in 1947; and that those same bodies were "associated with some very unusual wreckage." However, Pflock, too, was careful to point out that: "Even if there were bodies - and I believe there were - they may not have been of unearthly origin. In which case, Roswell turns out to be a significant chapter in early Cold War history, akin to the currently unfolding disclosures about the U.S. government radiation experiments spawned in the same era."It's very important to note that Pflock later changed his opinion, quite radically, and became a champion of the theory that what was recovered at Roswell was nothing more extraordinary than a Mogul balloon; yet it is interesting that his initial thoughts veered towards the possibility of an event connected to "U.S. government radiation experiments."This issue of "government experiments" was something that had also been noted by Tim Cooper - he of "MJ12 Documents" fame, and now someone pretty much out of the UFO field.In a 1991 "status report" titled "UFO CRASH/RETRIEVALS: THE INNER SANCTUM", the late Leonard Stringfield referenced a curious and controversial conversation Cooper had with a former nurse stationed at what is now the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico.In Cooper's own words:"She casually mentioned to me over coffee that 'bodies' were being flown to Los Alamos periodically from late 1945 to sometime in 1947. I asked her if she had seen these 'bodies and she said no, but others had. I asked her where these 'bodies' were coming from. She said she did not know but it was rumored that they were human experiments for biological and nuclear medicine research. She thought they may have come from Japan after the war. She said they were small bodies with deformed heads and limbs. The eyes were abnormally big she was told. She said they were being flown in on special transport planes equipped with refrigerator units to keep the bodies from decomposing." I now have the alleged name of the nurse (Cooper called her "Mary," but her supposed real first name is slightly, but not markedly, different, and she is said to share a last name with a famous aviator...), so we'll see what - if "anything" - comes from trying to contact her. If, even, she's still alive...SOURCES: "ROSWELL IN PERSPECTIVE", Karl Pflock, Fund for UFO Research, 1994."UFO CRASH/RETRIEVALS: THE INNER SANCTUM", Lenoard H.

Clip from September 20, 2013 - guest Clark McClelland on the Jeff Rense Program.
Clark McClelland has had an interesting, unique, and painful story. From 1958 to 1992 Clark worked for NASA as an ScO (spacecraft operator). During his tenure he met Apollog Mission astronaut and, according to Clar, he designed the Apollo XI emblem. He met and worked with many Germany scientists (former NAZIs) who came to the United States via Operations Paperclip. According to Drs. Werner von Braun and Hermann Oberth, they said the cannot take full credit for their technological innovations and said they had help from an extraterrestrial civilization. In 1991 Clark witnessed a 8-9 ft being in space communicating with the space shuttle crew. In 1992, apparently, after learning so many truths, NASA decided to dismiss him on a very minor technicality. An error in the residential address written on his original employment application in 1958. His pension was canceled and he could not find any work in relevant fields of aerospace, public- or private sector-wise. He was only able to find employment in Disney World for 4.25 per hour. Clark is certain that there is a dictatorial secret shadow government, that has not only taken over NASA, but the United States of America. He strongly believed that the world is being enslaved by a few. During this very heated interview Clark recounted his meetings with former US presidents, astronauts and even his visit with former Hollywood star Jackie Gleason and his testimony about his trip to Homestead AFB with former US President Richard Nixon, where he saw wreckage from downed extraterrestrial aircraft and even bodies.

Clark McClelland is a bonafide expert in the field of UFO specialists. He began his investigations of this strange phenomenon in 1947. His 60 plus years of study in the field of UFOlogy puts him in a unique class of educators and investigators.
He has lectured at many national universities including Notre Dame, Penn State, Ohio State, Berea, Montana State University, New York University, Idaho State, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and others too numerous to mention. On several occasions, he was requested by students and faculty to bring his unique topic to their campus as an elective course, although his work at Kennedy Space Center at the time overruled his acceptance.
Clark McClelland's long association with the UFO phenomenon has followed him throughout his aerospace career. In 1958 he was assigned to the national space program at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and helped launch or viewed 679 rockets and spacecraft. In addition to being an Aerospace Engineer and Technical Assistant to the Apollo Program Manager during the Apollo moon landings, McClelland and other SpaceCraft Operators did extensive technical checkout of simulated flights and mission objectives of the various shuttles to assure orbital success and the personal safety of the astronauts.
McClelland knew many of the astronauts who perished during the Challenger disaster and certainly did all he could to keep each shuttle from such a repeat accident. He has held important positions involving such manned projects as Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo lunar landings, Skylab, the Space Shuttle and the Space Station. He was assigned to the cockpit of the Space Shuttle missions as a SpaceCraft Operator (Ground Test Astronaut). If anyone knows what is going on in space, with humans or otherwise, it is McClelland
In 1960, Major Donald E Keyhoe, the International Director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) selected McClelland to be Director for the Kennedy Space Center and central Florida region. His unit members included two NASA Astronaut Flight Surgeons, many engineers, scientists and mathematicians as consultants and investigators. Later, he was chosen as the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Director at the KSC and served concurrently as Assistant State Director for Florida.
McClelland's name is on three commemorative monuments, the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions -- - -- His name will be on the Space Shuttle, International Space Station and the Deep Space Missions monuments in the future.

I ended up dialogue to a fellow and we discussed the program and got onto dialogue about UFOs. This is taking into consideration he told me he and his family had witnessed a very unusual object sitting over Hudson Bay Pinnacle one night accurate sparkle stake.The onlooker assumed he and three family were prospect disembark from a squad one evening, all of the guys were deskbound in high college at the time. The man explained that it was a signal clear night and they were bodyguard west past St Joseph's Church taking into consideration the driver looked up onto Hudson Bay Pinnacle and can in detail see what appeared to be a giant fireball sitting mark over top the wealth. The onlooker told me he looked not worth it as he weighing up he was seeing things, but like once more the man conservational man looked up and deskbound saw the object over top the wealth. He of course called out to his partners to hold at this unusual sight and they stop the manufacture and got out to examination the object. As they all watched, it unemotional sat balanced at in 200 feet aloof the tree line. Eventually it started enrapture, but at a very composed rate of speed. They were able to watch the object for about 2 proceedings in unreserved, and heard no peer. They felt if the object was that welcoming they want convene heard accurate peer if it had of been an aircraft. He described the color as being ocher, sickly and untried and unemotional a grand bit of burst into flames. The onlooker guessed the amount to be that of a normal sized car. The object stirred down the mountainside and towards the Twofold Glacier at this composed action. All of a severe the object, whatever it was shot off and over the top of the wealth and was beyond.

In Edinburgh, Scotland, between the years of 1996 and the millennium, there operated a small think tank based at a social club in Edinburgh.
Our group was called the Transformation Studies Group.
Our emblem was the Butterfly - after the 'Butterfly effect' so called because in natural chaos tiny changes can have huge consequences.
It was formed to study the world and the things in it, which contributed to the great changes of mind, body, spirit and global social fabric that we were all witnesses to.
It was conducted in a spiritual and ecumenical manner, attracting; scientists, new age practitioners, greens, journalists, scholars, government representatives, entrepreneurs and artists.
We had the almost undivided attention and patronage of one of Scotland's greatest scholars in Ethnology and Secret Societies in Robert Brydon who it did seem was the real life template for the film by Steven Spielberg called 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.
Authors publishing on the history of Rosslyn or indeed Scottish history in general will seek his learned input. As a Templar archivist and historian he would liase with the International Star temple - Stella Templum and also with other organisations.
Bob Brydon - a one time buyer for the Dalhai llama in Tibet and South African explorer was himself educated by professor Keggie of the Home Office, and was once part of an archaeological dig in the Western isles of Scotland looking for a small red-haired dwarf-like people who stayed in stone igloos.
His most recent exploits include the dive for the Charles 1st sunken treasure ship off Burntisland in the river Forth estuary near Edinburgh.
We were very privileged to have schooling from this great man.
We had managed to pioneer a study of Magical Realism [c.f. Umberto Eco] in Scotland, and perform one or two important experiments.
Magical Realism to us was the bizarre fabrications that were grafted onto real issues and ideas. Magical Realism was rational thought processes being used to verify and justify irrationalism and magic.
For example the idea that matter and materials and atoms are based on a paradox in quantum science leaves the door open for all sorts of other magical theories and sandcastle ideologies to be assembled on those foundations of nothing.
Quantum leaps into nowhere feature in the alleged mechanics of strange 'tachyon capsules' that could allegedly bend time and space beyond Einstein's world of physics and afford protection from extra terrestrial monsters and were available exclusively on the internet for fifty dollars. Their resemblance to strip light starter motors being unintentional.
The realities of logical thinking were being hijacked by a world putting more value on how it felt.
Certainly 'tachyon capsules' made the guy that paid for them feel good and more protected. That, one assumes, having more to do with the psychology of the placebo effect rather than some black ops patent that inexplicably got past the American patents vetting process that had so successfully buried Tesla's real inventions.
However, it seemed to us that these 'magically real' ideas and issues were becoming more and more prevalent.
One of our areas of interest was the UFO phenomenon that was happening in Scotland.
At that time Bonnybridge in West Lothian had become the busiest UFO hotspot on the planet. Not because as was suggested by the Discovery Channel, that unemployed people trying to create a funfair and theme park were reporting aircraft landing at Edinburgh Airport, but, because people were genuinely having experiences.
There were reports of all sorts of UFO hunts as folks would take to their vehicles to pursue ET down the nearest motorway.
There were even photographs of a massive microorganism in the sky over Bonnybridge which we identified as a bacteria eating Paramoecium, a single celled freshwater aquatic organism.
This thing was huge but also in the papers too.
Was it a hologram or was it the kind of thing suggested by Charles Fort, to explain the universe of weird objects that could fall from the sky, i.e. that we were all on the bottom of a very big pond.
Many of us started taking a look at Bonnybridge, as it seemed to be an area under strange social stress. Perhaps the weird things that were happening were portents of some great event yet to happen - perhaps even a catastrophe. In the USA the appearance of the Mothman was a prelude to a major disaster. Sightings went on the increase until the bridge went down into the river.
Bonnybridge was in an area permeated by heavy industry and also had a local chemical works, which seemed to be polluting and messy.
Might it be that all the UFO's and abductions were medical checks on interstellar citizens living in downtown Scotland.
In this Falkirk UFO triangle where all the abductions and sightings were taking place was Bonnybridge.
I got a call from John W one evening complaining that a very special video filmed by a mrs B was being taken out of the country without anyone getting a decent look at it.
John W said that this video, once enhanced, would provide incontrovertible evidence that could potentially fuel a public enquiry.
It turns out that every Thursday Mrs B had noticed a black triangle hovering over her neighbour's house. It was so regular that one Thursday she had waited with a camera and had filmed it.
Dr Stephen Greer, ET specialist, had apparently flown in on a private jet to Edinburgh Airport and had managed to exit with the only copy - which we subsequently got him to return.
Over a decade later and still no public enquiry, though UFO sightings in Bonnybridge seemed to tail off after the chemical factory closed.
It turns out that the reason John W was into this stuff was because of his own personal experiences.
He had been incessantly bothered day and night by these beings. Sometimes he would find himself naked, outside and locked out.
Sometimes whilst in the bath his imagination would be dragged into some dark green matrix, down dark cybernetic corridors.
Worse still they were interceding in his personal and family life.
In the true nature of being Scottish though is that character that sometimes shines through when the chips are down.
John was in his bed one evening sleeping next to his wife when suddenly he awoke and could see a Grey alien standing across the room. He then tried to awaken his wife but to no avail.
He watched it slowly come across the room, getting ready to give it that most traditional of Scottish interstellar greetings.
The following is supplied in Scottish Lowlands language with English translations.
'etz goat ma airum' [the enterprising extra terrestrial gentleman appears to have taken hold of my arm]
'an a punched it, an it went flee'in acroas the room an hit the wa.. it slid doon tae the floor an lay there.. then suddenly it goat back up an shook itsell an came stompin acroas the room an pit its face in mine.'
[I punched it and it flew across the room, hitting the wall and it slid down, lying still. Then the cheeky chappie suddenly got back up, shook itself and quickly came back over across the room and put its face in mine.]
John W, a total hero, is one of the very few living Scotsmen or indeed men, to have smacked one of these jokers in the kisser.
Before taking a back seat in Scotland, John had researched Blackridge in West Lothian, which was in the Falkirk triangle area. He had discovered that people were being abducted in that small post-industrial coal mining town by UFO's that seemed to originate from the area of the local disused mines.
We went to investigate with an expert in military communications and took the road round the back of the old mine, spotting some rather fancy aerials coming out of seemingly abandoned prefabricated huts that belonged to some sort of military operation.
Neil Cunningham, then of BUFORA, then informed us that Bonnybridge was adjacent to one of the largest power substations in western Europe.
It was bigger than the one that supplied Paris or German heavy industry on the Rhine or Ruhr, it was bigger than Moscow or the Refining port of Rotterdam in Holland and it was bigger than the one for London.
Therefore, what was it doing there supplying BP refinery at Grangemouth and a couple of bad fish and chip shops.
When we went to investigate this as part of our empirical field research we happened across a fish and chip shop that was so bad that we thought we were being served deep fried chupacabra. (chupacabra being the weird blood sucking alien monster that seems to bother South America etc) Chupacabra and chips seemed to be the specialty around there.
As we watched the landscape from our high hill, we were passed several times in different directions from different roads by a Pizza Van that bristled with aerials. Maybe they were eavesdropping and had discovered that pizza was a better deal for us all.
Our resident ex-military communications expert used to work in similar vans during the cold war.
What was going on in these hollow hills ?
One night, I pulled into a local diner and ordered a coffee and sat down at one of the tables. Sitting across from me was a young lady that I seemed to recognise. She looked something like me when I was nineteen. Her hair and eye colouring were the same, but she had instead though, a petite nose and pointed chin and was a very beautiful young lady. She smiled at me and leaned across and asked me to pick up something that she had dropped under her table because she could not reach it.
I went down on my hands and knees to have a look then she pressed with her hands on my back between my shoulder blades. Next I felt a rush of energy and life in me and I looked up quizzically.
I could feel myself almost linking with her.
She said that I was like her 'old Man' then she got up and left.
'Old man' in Scotland is Scottish vernacular for 'father'.
Her date of birth looked like the mid eighties and strangely enough that co-incided with strange episodes of interaction in my life.
The question is therefore - had I just interacted with my daughter who was also the child of some non-human race.
Children should know something about their parents and have a link to that ancestral vine for in many ways it adds context to our ongoing development of who and what we are.
Did she have any of my bad habits ?
Did she spend too long in those Martian Nightclubs ?
What kind of transformation might be going on in my very strange family of the future ?
Or was all of this just some very strange co-incidence or worse still some dark confidence trick ?
I don't really believe in co-incidences.
There did, however, seem to be rather a lot of interest in what we were doing in Bonnybridge for some reason - might there be some rather big installation underground and were they using all that electricity to power up a Stargate ? or some other kind of huge power-hungry Alien installation.
Another relatively unknown fact about the Falkirk UFO triangle was that it also had another name amongst the TV pundits who followed the National Lottery. It was called the 'golden circle', as, co-incidentally, at that time the area had the highest number of lottery winners and lottery millionaires in that area than anywhere else on mainland UK.
The mystery of underground Scotland seemed to be that there was rather a lot of it and whoever had put it all together was far older than mankind.
Abductee John W was taken to see the Emperor Grey in a cavern system lined from floor to ceiling with rows and rows of cubicles in which reposed his people.
'What do you want here ?' asks John W. The reply was 'Sanctuary !'
Co-incidentally the estate of Torphichen in West Lothian was an ancient Templar sanctuary belonging to the Knights of St John.
Near Bathgate a town on the south of the triangle is a place called Cairnpapple hill. It was one of the highest points for miles anywhere and had a commanding view over all the Lothians including Edinburgh to the south and Falkirk to the north.
It was somewhat adjacent to the Templar 'sanctuary' of Torphichen.
The hill, though was special, and was one of the biggest and most important bronze age finds in Scotland.
Its top was shaped like the dome of a flying saucer, and looking inside the mound itself there appeared to be even more resemblance to a UFO control room made in stone with stone slabs, presumably mock up doors leading off and down into the hill.
People that take dowsing rods there swear that there is a massive convergence of big ley lines on that hill and as usual, it being high ground, the military have a big satellite and microwave transmitter on it.
When we went there skywatching a light would go on in the military facility that would switch off when we left - and we usually went nowhere near it, preferring that the coffee in our thermos flask was not
Super-heated by over exposure to industrial strength microwaves.
We would stand there some nights feeling like we were General Custer as the glowing ships, circling, came and went around us.
We went through the usual exclusions: no landing lights, no noise, no strobes, too fast, not satellites because of their ability to do a 180, the Transformation Studies Group were well into the art of sceptical observation.
The story of this amazing hill is interesting as sometime in the early 1900's Mrs Dalyell, Mother of Tam, the Scottish politician, and his brother who was later killed in world war 2, had taken her two little boys on a picnic to the local hillside.
Cairnpapple hill just looked like an ordinary big hill then.
She had recently given Tam's brother a new raincoat and properly clothed against the elements she had sent them off to play whilst she prepared her picnic.
The younger brother came back without his raincoat.
His mother scolded him and asked him what he had dome with it and he replied that he had 'given it to the brown boy'.
The brown boy had subsequently vanished into the hill.
Mrs Dalyell, searched the hillside up and down but could find no trace of her son's new coat, but she realised that on closer examination that her experience in archaeology had enabled her to spot something unusual about the lay-out of the hill top.
She instigated the dig and thereby caused the discovered an important Bronze Age site that had not been recognised for millennia.
I was explaining the story of the Cairnpapple hill discovery to Paul and Bob who were interested in the other strange happenings in the same locality. There were Ghostly Knights on horseback in full armour, tall aliens in silver suits jumping in front of cars, large stone graves with giant skeletons whose legs had to be broken to fit them into the sarcophagi and other strange happenings as groups came and went around the local standing stones at the full moon.
UFO flybys here were regular.
I had got Paul and Bob onto the north facing slope of the dome itself and was just explaining how the little Dalyell boy had given his raincoat over to the brown fairy boy when the entire top of the hill shook like it was an earthquake.
It wasn't an earthquake though it was just confined to where we were on Cairnpapple hilltop. Under our feet somewhere below, we could hear the sound of stone grinding on stone and echoing in some cavernous chamber as a huge stone door seemed to slowly and thunderously grate open in welcome.
The two were stunned and perplexed.
Seemingly, a portal had just opened for us.
It did seem that the Transformation Studies Group had opened a portal to an entirely surreal world.
Our group had visitations from all corners of the alphabet soup mentioned in David Icke books including a strange professor from America who had allegedly access to the real American X files, underground facilities and had debriefed ex Vietnam veterans who had survived direct heavy machine gun fire because they were glowing gold.
We had Mi6, Mi5, Di55, CIA, MK-Ultra, the SAS, the Rainbow Army, the Amazon Army, Knights Templar, Rosicrucians, the Knights of St George, Miracle Productions, High Priestesses, the NSA, Special Boat Services, Alchemists, Masons, anarchists, co-counsellors, artists, musicians, Hindu adepts, Doctors of Philosophy, Doctors of Ethnomusicology, Paranormal researchers, abductees, Illuminati,
The idea was to keep the coffee and choccy biscuits coming.
We were somewhat interrupted by an internal dispute within the Theosophical Society in Scotland in the year 2000, and often alone in the building at night cleaning up I didn't appreciate also having to pick up the pictures that came flying off the walls at me from some unhappy entity - a resident spook of quite another sort !
Thus its fair to say that in its time between 1996 and the year 2000 the Transformation Studies Group with its meetings, talk program and Skywatches, cinema outings etc was a great place to be on Tuesday night in Edinburgh.
