Frode,
Any first impressions on
Fran De Aquino's web site?

Dean...
Read your above question to Frode. Hope he replies soon.
Interested to read his opinion. Want the impressions of others on de
Aquino's web site?
My impression after printing and reading all the text on
Prof. Aquino's website?
Clearly his writings were meant for his academic associates, NOT
lay people. Continuous mathematical equations and formulas
interspersed mostly with unfamiliar scientific terms (beyond my
present grasp). But, some "normal" dialog here and there to give
one some general ideas... such as Null gravity (Nulified) allowing
near infinite speeds of Photons. Aquino has several simple graphs of
proposed MOTORS, etc. Wish he'd attached (a.b.c., etc) text to the
parts of each graph to explain the functions of the motors to mind
limited ordinary readers like myself. Probably Frode, Mathew, Scott
and others in the group are better suited to understand him. Soon, I
hope they each read Aquino's material and give us THEIR
impressions.
HE HISTORY...
Read the OTHER attachment you sent earlier, HE history by
an unknown author.
My wife read it too. Interesting and apparently fairly well
researched general history about SOME of the better known individuals
who proposed Hollow Earth theories (but strangely leaving out Cater
and Lamprecht!) and about underground caverns, like those in the
SHAVER MYSTERY.
That particularly caught me eye as a close friend of mine became
partially involved with Ray Palmer and Richard Shaver. I never met
either of them but for a time around 1950 my friend was involved with
putting out the "SHAVER MYSTERY LETTERZINE," a memo printed
bulletin for interested fans. He met and talked with both men. Palmer
had also recently sold FATE magazine which he also published and
which also published Shaver's stories about the Deros with their many
destructive machines - and the (good guy) Teros - living
inside deep tunnels and caverns in the crust.
I don't think HE history enhances belief in a hollow earth, but
really doesn't knock the idea either. But still worth reading for
general background info.
AL BIELEK and THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT...
Have read several Emails from members about Al Bielek's
lectures. Al has also been on Art Bell several times, and on other
radio talk shows.
About Al... My wife and I knew Al over 30 years back BEFORE he
remembered being a naval officer (with his brother) on the Eldridge.
Al was a contract engineer for private companies and sometimes the
government. Years past, when he came through Tucson, he would
sometimes stay overnight at our home (and with another contract
engineer friend also living in Tucson). Al had a brilliant science
oriented mind and kept more than abreast of most things happening in
orthodox science and alternative science. For Example, Al seemed to
know and understand just about any scientific things going on inside
Russia or here in America. He never stumbled. Could easily explain
anything he knew of. Probably had an IQ off the top.
We had many multi hour talks with Al at our diningroom table. In
fact, the 3 of us (at that time many years back) had only recently
heard about the Philadelphia Expertiment and we each wondered if it
really happened. Then, for no particular reason later, we lost
contact with Al. (It may have had something to do with dwindling
contract jobs and less trips through Tucson and/or we also later
heard his eyesight was failing.) Next time we heard of Al was
unexpectedly on Art Bell! Al saw the Philadelphia Experiment movie
and (he claimed) it triggered his memories. What a story! We nearly
fell off our chairs.
Later, a few years back, my wife went to a UFO/Alternate Science
conference where Al lectured and spent a few hours with him afterward
at a restaurant. He looked like he hadn't aged a bit. Had to be
getting close to 80. One annoying thing about him when we knew him
years back while he sat talking with us, when WE were doing most of
the talking, Al just silently listening, would nod and quickly doze
off sound asleep. Then, give him more coffee and let him do most of
the talking and Al would stay up, alert and aware all night. But
after being with him for several hours after that conference (when
she did much of the talking), she was surprised and pleased that he
never once doped off.
Al is incredibly convincing about the Eldridge event as those
who've heard him know. My wife and I are STILL on the shelf,
undecided whether he is telling the truth or is one of the cleverest
con guy story teller ever! In years past, we never detected Al ever
lying. He was always honest with us and others we knew.
But a couple things bother us (mostly me)... Every new time we
hear him on radio, his story GROWS, additional experiences have been
added... like later being sent back in time and in the future
multiple times. And we really have a problem believing the part about
our government wiping out his memory and inserting his consciousness
(soul?) into a new baby body with different parents. OUR government
had that capability? Hard to believe.
Also, about a year back, may have been via WorldNetDaily, and
eastern newspaper purported to have interviewed the Eldridge's
Captain and (surviving) crew members at their annual get together. In
the newspaper article, the Captain and crew members, aware of the
story, laughed at it and claimed the incident never happened.. Were
they government plants? Have no idea, but it added to our doubts.
Whether he's a brilliant phoney or telling the truth, is up to each
person who listens to his story.
P.S. Dean and Mathew... you gave me worthy arguments recently
about the Churchward data and statements I wrote to both of you
earlier. Will reply soon, I hope, AFTER I read more from the URLs
supplied on the EXpanding Earth theory and more material about Cater.
Thanks.
