Mysticism inspired by Brasilia's location, its creation and prophecies reaches into the cabinet offices and military headquarters of the fifth-biggest country on Earth. Analysts say an atmosphere where crystals salesmen go door to door and taxi drivers chat of astral planes makes the capital unique in Latin America. "There are literally hundreds of sects. The number you could find in all of California or Colorado, that's what you'd find in Brasilia," said Jose Jorge de Carvalho, an anthropology professor at the University of Brasilia. "You could say that Brasilia is the first non-Catholic capital in Latin America," said Carvalho, now a visiting professor at Houston's Rice University. Brasilia's image is such that the local government wants to cash in on it to boost tourism. Plans are under way for a convention of flying saucer devotees, with Federal District Tourism Minister Maria Lourdes Abadia saying, "I want Brasilia to be the gateway to the mystical world." As it is, the biggest tourist draw by far is the Goodwill Legion's seven-sided pyramid-shaped temple topped with a 21-kg (46-pound) crystal. More than 220,000 people last year visited the temple, where barefoot worshippers circle on inlaid marble spirals with palms upwards the better to channel cosmic energy. The ecumenical sect's devotees see the huge crystal as "a catalyst of natural energy symbolising the unifying nature of God," said Legion spokesman Vladimir Alves Coite. Rock singer Sting is the best-known among recent visitors to Brasilia seeking spiritual enlightenment. The entertainer, a defender of Brazil's rainforest, spent his New Year's Eve outside Brasilia attending ceremonies of the Vegetable Union, a group devoted to the use of a bitter hallucinogenic tea from the Amazon jungles called ayahuasca. Ayahuasca is used by the Vegetable Union and its allied sect Santo Daime in rituals that can include chanting, wind chimes, taped whale cries and dancing until dawn. "With this tea ritual you are much more conscious of what is going on in your life and work," said Edmir Oliveira, a masseur turned Santo Daime guru, before starting a ceremony surrounded by candles, statues of saints, Stars of David, books on Hinduism and numerology and a cross with a crystal at its junction. Brasilia's lively spiritualism comes despite its reputation for sterility. Even Polish President Lech Walesa criticized the endless freeways and worn concrete high-rises on a recent visit, saying, "The buildings are just like we have in Poland." The attraction of Brasilia's scrubland plateau for such groups as the New Acropolis, the Extraterrestrial Team of Sobradinho and the Valley of the Dawn Aquarian community arises from several factors, said anthropologist Carvalho. Brasilia is built on rocks more than a billion years old, some of the most ancient on Earth. That makes the area safe, some believe, from earthquake and nuclear attack and the likely site for the return of Jesus Christ. The 19th-century mystic Dom Bosco also foresaw a great city arising in central Brazil that would start a new civilisation. The city is built on a pattern of a rough cross and was founded in 1960 by President Juscelino Kubitschek, who foresaw in it a "dawning" for Brazil. Planners also distributed land to all religious groups and sects, not just the Catholic Church. Jose Roberto Mariano, an astrologer who has designed tarot cards based on Brasilia sites, said the city's greatest source of mystic energy arose at Kubitschek's tomb. "There's an energy rift there," he said. "The city is like the Grand Canyon in the United States, a centre of power."

The following report, to be presented in three parts, has been written by Las Vegas businessman Gene Huff, who probably knows more about Lazar's story than anyone but Bob himself. Gene believes Bob's claims and defends him; as such, skeptics may be inclined to dismiss Gene's views as unreliable. CNI News is well aware of accusations concerning Lazar's schooling (or lack of), legal difficulties, and other credibility problems. This report is offered as a basis for further discussion, and CNI News welcomes reader response. This report was originally posted on ALTUFO-L Digest on March 12 and is reproduced here with Gene Huff's permission. Gene can be reached by email at Gufon@IX.NETCOM.COM] Gene's text follows: This is a synopsis of Bob Lazar's story which is being offered as a ground zero for future dialogue. After coming to the internet a short time ago, I noticed that people's knowledge of Bob's story varied widely. This is an effort to increase that knowledge base so people who either support or dismiss Bob's story do it for the right reasons. Bob's story is long and complex and in this document I've tried to condense it to a manageable size without omitting relevant points. I'm going to emphasize how things looked from my point of view. I won't elaborate on propulsion systems and things of that sort, so if you want that you can get it on the Lazar Tape and hear if from Bob himself. So here we go... In the late 1980's I was working as a real estate appraiser in Las Vegas, and still am for that matter. Bob Lazar, known as "Bob, the photo guy" to most Las Vegas appraisers, operated the photo lab that serviced many appraisers at that time. Bob and I had met in 1985 and by 1988 we had become friends and began to socialize together. Bob's wife, Tracy, usually did the photo deliveries to our office and, at first, I had talked to her and seen her a lot more than Bob. Periodically she would talk about when she and Bob lived in Los Alamos, not together, and I just presumed that he ran a photo lab down there. Bob and Tracy met when Tracy was hired to work at a business run buy Bob's first wife, Carol. Tracy's dad, Don Merck, worked at the Los Alamos National Lab (LANL from here on out) and that's how she happened to be living there. Don worked on the conventional charge that implodes and compresses the nuke material to make an atomic bomb explode. After Bob and I started socializing, I began to notice that he knew a lot about many things. I knew that he was somewhat of an egghead because, when he would do a rare photo delivery, he would drive a Honda CRX in which he had installed a jet engine. But his knowledge base extended far beyond that. There was little he didn't know about jet engines, combustion engines, electronics, computer hardware and software, etc. He even made some nitroglycerin one day while we sat talking at the kitchen table. We later took it out to the desert and blew it up; that's how I knew it was, indeed, a high energy explosive. Eventually, I asked him why he knew all of this stuff. He said, "I've got degrees in physics and electronic technology." I said, "Well, what's the difference between you and a scientist?" He said, "I AM a scientist." I said, >>> Continued to next message --- þ OLX 2.1 TD þ If it works, something went wrong. From: SHANE NOLAN Date: 03-27-95 19:47 To: ALL Msg#: 447 Subj.: CNI News v4.5 2/3 Area: UFONews >>> Continued from previous message "Why didn't you tell me?" He said, "What did you want me to do, say hey man, I'm a scientist"? I said, "Yeah, I would have." He just shook his head and walked away. I later found out that he had worked at the Meson Physics facility at LANL. All this time, I just thought he was some guy who ran a photo lab and just happened to have an interest in jet engines. He also had, and still has, a rail type dragster with a jet engine from one of the military's first supersonic fighters. Anyway, in time, I met Bob's dad, Al; his mother, Phyllis; Tracy's dad, Don; Joe Vaninetti, an old friend from Los Alamos (Joe's last job at LANL was melting down plutonium. He is currently completing his masters in soils analysis (soils science?) up in Utah. You'll hear more about Joe later); Melissa Crey (maybe Cray), Joe's roommate and a physicist at LANL; and Jim Tagliani, and old friend and computer & electronic tech. All of these people seemed to think Bob was a scentist and, to this day, I have no reason to doubt him and numerous reasons to believe him. Jim Tagliani actually worked with Bob at Fairchild Electronics in southern California where Bob was the youngest electrical engineer ever to have worked there. This was a couple of years prior to Bob's Los Alamos job. At this point, in 1988, Bob was bored with the photo lab and had sent out resumes to various government labs to try and get back into another scientific job. Included on that list was Dr. Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb and scientific consultant to the last five or six presidents. Bob had met Teller in 1982 in Los Alamos when Teller was there lecturing. Coincidentally, at this same time, Bob's picture was on the front page of the Los Alamos Monitor newspaper. A staff writer named Terry England had done an article on Bob and a Honda CRX in which he had installed a jet engine. This wasn't the same jet CRX he had when I first met him. This article ran in the June 27, 1982 edition of that paper and in it they refer to Bob as, and I quote, "Lazar, a physicist at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility." It's difficult to believe that in a town of 10,000 scientists, who all have egos about their credentials, the only local newspaper could refer to Bob as a scientist if he was not one, at least not without any public outrage. Anyway, when Bob arrived early to hear Teller speak, there Teller sat reading the newspaper article about Bob. Bob used this as an avenue to introduce himself and they had a short chat about jets, etc. Bob later heard Teller's speech and that was that. So in 1988 when Bob sent out all of these resumes, he thought, why not take a shot? It had been a while since he sent out these resumes and one day I dropped by his house and asked him if he had heard any news. He said, "As a matter of fact, yeah, Edward Teller called me." I said, "Who's Edward Teller?" After he explained, I understood the importance of the call. Teller had responded by phone and said that he was no longer active, but currently worked in a chief consultant capacity. However, Teller did give Bob the name of a gentleman to call here in Las Vegas. Bob called this guy and talked to him and a short time later, someone from EG&G called Bob to set up an interview. EG&G is a company that has all kinds of high tech interests here at the Nevada Test Site. Bob threw away the piece of paper with the name Teller gave him on it. Remember, at this point in time, nobody knew what Bob was headed for and it's obvious that it would be nice to have that name now. So Bob went to EG&G for the interview. Bob later told me that he "dazzled" them by having every answer to some pretty complex questions and he was optimistic about getting the job. This was unusual because Bob isn't one to pat himself on the back. However, dazzling them temporarily backfired because they told him he was overqualified for the job and he didn't get it. They then told him not to lose hope because they had something coming up that he might be interested in. Ultimately, they called him back and hired him to work on a propulsion project in an "outer area." Bob reported to the EG&G building at McCarran airport, which had runway access, where he was met by Dennis Mariani. Mariani was a security man of medium build and heighth, about 35 to 40 years old, blond hair and a tightly cropped blond mustache. Mariani had a military look and manner, but he didn't wear a uniform. With Mariani as his escort, Bob was flown out to Area 51 at Groom Lake. At Area 51, Bob had to sign a secrecy agreement and an agreement to waive his constitutional rights, which is illegal but was made possible by an executive order with Ronald Reagan's signature on it. He also had to sign an agreement which allowed them to monitor his phone line. Bob already had "Q" clearance, which is top secret civilian clearance, at Los Alamos but he had never gone through anything like this. The clearance he was now attaining would require perpetual monitoring of his activities and would never simply be attained and forgotten about until the next review date. After some abrupt suggestions that he honor his secrecy agreement and watch his general conduct, he and Mariani boarded a bus with blacked out windows and took a 20 to 30 minute ride down a bumpy dirt/gravel road. They arrived at a base near Papoose dry lake bed known as S4. S4 was a combination of buildings and hangars built into the side of a mountain. Armed guards were everywhere, and security was oppressive. Bob even got an armed escort when he went to the bathroom. They arranged Bob's I.D. and gave him a physical which included a test for allergic reactions to substances which were not identified for Bob. After this he was placed in a briefing room by himself to read some briefings as part of his indoctrination. As Mariani closed the door to leave Bob alone, Bob saw a poster on the back of the door. It was a "flying saucer" hovering over a dry lake bed and it was captioned, "They're Here." Bob opened the top folder on the desk and it contained 8 x 10 glossy photos of 9 different flying saucers, including the one on the poster. To this day, no one knows why Bob was selected for this project. Bob has a comprehensive knowledge base and is an excellent problem solver, but this may not be uncommon in the scientific community. Maybe the good word from Edward Teller carried a lot of weight. It's even possible that the nod from Teller carried more weight than was originally intended; no one knows. At this point in time, Tracy helped with the photo lab during the day and worked out at a health club and took flying lessons at night. Bob was on call for S4 and would generally be called to go out once every week or two. They said he'd be working on an on-call basis until he was "brought up to speed," at which time he would work on a more consistant basis. They'd always have Bob report in the late afternoon and work evenings which allowed him to maintain the photo lab during the day. Bob was now very secretive about his job and would only tell his wife and friends that he was working on something that required clearance. He eventually did tell us that he flew into Area 51 when he went to work. We had no idea what he was actually doing and, because of that, none of us were overly curious as to what his project was. Around this same time, KLAS-TV, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, had been running local news shows featuring UFO researchers, which I found entertaining and intriguing. These shows were hosted by George Knapp, a local news anchor who is now high profile and arguably the most informative and motivating speaker on the UFO circuit. George doesn't speak as regularly as "UFO experts," but is infinitely more informed than them, especially about things ufological in Nevada. On these shows, much ado was being made about alleged UFOs and aliens at Area 51. Bob assured us that there were no UFOs at Area 51. As it ended up, he was telling the truth. They were at S4 and they were called "discs" and they were anything but "unidentified." Bob had been hired to be part of a "back engineering" team. Back engineering is the act of taking apart a finished product to find out what makes it tick. In this instance, their job was to back engineer a flying disc to see if it could be reproduced with earth materials. Bob's specific job was to help back engineer the propulsion system. In subsequent trips to S4, Bob was exposed to the propulsion system on a bench in a lab, as well as the propulsion system, in place, in a disc. In a sleek disc he would eventually nickname the "sport model," Bob had to hang upside down through an opening on the floor of the central level to view the gravity amplifiers on the lower level. He eventually witnessed a brief, low altitude test flight of this same disc. He was also taught how the discs are able to distort space/time to achieve interstellar travel. The "Sport Model" disc is currently being produced as a plastic model by the Testor Corporation. END Part One. To be continued. ======================================================== 3) STRANGE HORSE DEATH IN SALMON, IDAHO by Linda Moulton Howe Bill Hill was a police officer in the Peoria, Illinois for twenty-five years and then retired to the mountain wilderness of Salmon, Idaho. He purchased some horses for his ranch which stretches along a dead-end road. There is no to help back entraffic because there is no way to go beyond his property. On January 12, 1995, he bought a healthy, young male buckskin. Then fourteen days later, he found the horse lying dead three hundred feet from his house on two inches of fresh snow. "I could not understand what I was looking at," Mr. Hill told me. "There were no tracks around the horse, no signs of struggle, and no blood. Yet, a large section of hide had been cut from the belly taking the surface skin of >>> Continued to next message --- þ OLX 2.1 TD þ If it works, something went wrong.

On one side of the neck, there was a large hole that went in about two to three inches. The hole was filled with blood, but nothing was leaking onto the snow. And steam was rising from the wounds. So I must have come upon the horse soon after he was killed and cut up." Mr. Hill called the sheriff's office and a veterinarian. At first it was assumed the neck hole had been caused by a bullet. However, the veterinarian confirmed there was no bullet and that "nothing was broken up inside the neck." Mr. Hill said that when he asked the veterinarian about the wounds, she answered, "I have never seen anything like this before and I don't have any answers for you." # # # --- þ OLX 2.1 TD þ If it works, something went wrong.
