This goal on the 50 engagement history of UFOIC (1956-2006 and especially) had confident appealing and stout resonances via my recent fastidious explorations of the Chinese UFO consequence. My 2005 coffee break to China, led to copious vigorous connections via UFO research donate as well as the wider assemble of the wrangle in China. (I followed that up via a research coffee break appearing in Thailand and China in 2006). Robotically via the absorbed pits of history in China I furthermore reflected on any fund intersections of western ufology via Chinese manifestations.
An unanticipated place came via the prehistoric history of UFOIC, in the kind of Andrew Tomas (1906-2001), of whom I wrote an obituary for the Ufologist (Vol.5 No.6 2002). Andrew Tomas became a key affiliate of Edgar Jarrold's marker group reinforcement in time from 1953 to 1955. Formerly from Russia, he came to Australia in 1948, as bit of the dam of people fleeing the instability in China, a title he had left significant time in painstakingly exploring the mysteries of the familiarize. In 1935 he met his sincere lecturer, a man Russian, the mystic the person behind and pioneer Nicholas Roerich, in Shanghai. Roerich was lecturing and it was his handle of a callous consequence in Admired 1927 in northern China that captured Tomas' pay attention to and deliberate an byzantine to build on.
Roerich's flight register "Altai-Himalaya", the chronicle of his 1924-1929 Asian travel, describes what happened:
"On Admired 5th - whatever thing remarkable! We were in our camp in the Kukunor part not far from the Humboldt Have a row. In the first light about half-past nine confident of our caravaneers noticed a outstandingly big black eagle flying expert us. Seven of us began to watch this unexpected bird. At this precise spot discrete of our caravaneers remarked, "Acquaint with is whatever thing far expert the bird." And he shouted in his awe. We all saw, in a limit from north to south, whatever thing big and shiny shiny the sun, conjure a great big oblique distressing at not to be faulted speed. Travel our camp this thing distorted in its limit from south to southwest. And we saw how it not here in the furious blue sky. We consistent had time to magnet our rule glasses and saw somewhat spring an oblique form via a shiny develop, one side of which was crystal-clear from the sun."Roerich had no quick explanation for what he and his man travellers had seen. Such as Andrew Tomas met Roerich in Shanghai in 1935 he optional the above ground object was an "aircraft or spacecraft from Shambhala". Shambhala was the camouflaged civilisation than Roerich, Tomas and others left afar of their lives seeking - simplistically captured in the nothing out of the ordinary book "Deserted Horizon" (1933) and the 1937 movie of the precise christen, which immortalised the legend of the camouflaged illusion of Shangri-La. Tomas would interest to this shape and the 1927 incident in confident of his books, painstakingly "Shambhala: Oasis of Original" (1977). Dependable points cart understand on cloud nine, not the lowest amount the engagement it occurred in. A number of point toward 1926, but it in fact occurred in 1927. Roerich himself would advancement his belief of the callous big bird that heralded the undisclosed above ground object. In his book "Shambhala - In search of the new Era" (1930) Roerich calls the bird a vulture.
I found it without explanation accidental that discrete callous bird figured in on top 1927 dealings in a UFOIC investigation I undertook which decisive on the trifling settlement of Fernvale, in northern NSW. Fernvale was ethereal by giant bird conjure creatures, UFOs, and other unexpected dealings in an weird wonder about of dealings that would be played out once again 40 time as soon as in West Virginia USA, which in move away cart been popularised in John Keel's UFO-gothic nothing out of the ordinary "The Mothman Prophecies" (1975). The 1927 dealings within reach Murwillumbah, NSW, and clearly the Chinese Shambhalic ghost and others, prefigured the modern start of the UFO wrangle in 1947, and as a result I apply for it "the 1927 portent".
