Are Aliens Like Us or Like Angels Or Something Else?

Today, at lunch, a number of us got into a discussion about space aliens. I’ve been doing a number of blog posts on UFOs lately. One of my friends said that she’s really been thinking about them lately and has recently watched the movie Close Encounters of the Second Kind, which was about a man seeing a flying saucer and extraterrestrials

So, what do you think? Are aliens like us or like angels or are they something else?

Reincarnation in the NHL!

How do you like that, a Montreal Canadiens hockey player who believes in reincarnation and remembers one of his past lives. Here’s an excerpt from the Toronto newspaper, the Globe and Mail:

To say nothing of the deeply bizarre Gilles Gratton, who claimed to be the reincarnation of a Spanish conquistador and once pulled himself from a game because the stars were improperly aligned.

It appears that Monsieur Gratton also consults astrology! I can relate to that!

Flamingo Photos

Today I’m downloading digital photos from media cards and I’m pleased to say that I have some usable photographs of the flamingos feeding in a shallow salt marsh east of Progreso Mexico, close to the Xcambo Mayan ruins in the Uaymitun Reserve along the north coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.

The flamingos were off in the distance. I feared they would be so far away that none of my photographs would turn out. But, they did! Yay!

Did Early U.S. Colonists Encounter UFOs?

Pete Wiggin is a present-day UFO researcher who reads early colonial wills and land deeds to look for reports of UFO phenomenon during the early settling of the U.S. by Europeans. He found the following excerpt in the journal of John Winthrop, governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1588-1649:

“In this year (1639) one James Everell, a sober, discreet man, and two others, saw a great light in the night at Muddy River. When it stood still, it flamed up, and was about three yards square; when it ran it was contracted into the figure of a swine:

Governor Winthrop’s journal entry goes on to say, “Diverse other credible persons saw the same light, after, about the same place.”

Sorcerer Dwarf Legend in SW U.S.

I’ve heard from a reader that evidently there is a legend of the sorcerer dwarf among the Anasazi  people of the American Southwest. I wonder if the Anaszi legend of the sorcerer dwarf is derived from the legend of the same name in the Yucatan. Edgar Cayce said that the people of the Yucatan traveled to the U.S. Southwest. If so, they would have brought their stories of their beginnings and the stories of their far distant past with them.

Why the Puuc Route?

So, the big question is: Why the Puuc Route?

If I could be searching for information on the Maya, ancient and today, anywhere else in the Yucatan Peninsula, why was the Puuc Route so important to me? 

Why not Chichen Itza, which was also in the state of Yucatan? Why not the beautiful citadel ruin at Tulum or the mysterious ruins at Coba, both of which were in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo? Or what about the relatively undiscovered huge archeological site of Calakmul in the state of Campeche?

For that matter, why not Guatemala or Belize?  These countries are also in the Yucatan Peninsula. And they speak English in Belize.
