Electrostaic atmosphere

[Observer]

John

Can you remember experiencing the electro static atmosphere that Jim Penniston mentioned. He said it made his hair stand up and his skin feel funny?
You also said that there were lots of guys out in the forest and some were in civilian clothes, is this right?

Yes on the first night with Penniston. On the 3rd night with Halt I was in Civ cloths.

Thanks John
We are getting some where at last.
Thats good, did you ever wonder at the time or after what may have caused that 'funny' atmosphere and has any body since suggested to you what may have caused it? Forget our theories, lets hear yours.

“The air was filled with electricity – like static. You could feel it on your skin as you approached the object. There was also a sense of slowness, like time itself was an effort”, said Penniston. It soon became difficult to walk and move, rather like they were wading through treacle. Everything seemed to be slowing down. “It was like a weird feeling, like everything seemed slower than you were actually doing and stuff”, said Burroughs.

“The nearer we got to that thing the more uneasy I felt…it was as if I was moving in slow motion.” - Penniston

“”The craft moved up off the ground, about three feet, still with absolutely no sound. It started to move slowly, weaving back through the trees at a very slow pace, maybe a half a foot per second” –Penniston

The object had departed. Both Burroughs and Penniston were left dazed and confused. The UFO seemed to have some kind of static field which would disrupt radio transmissions and confuse the men nearby.

Observation: Not only did Penniston’s body slowed down, but so did his memory and perceptions. What he recollected was the craft was moving away at a half a foot per second. This was an accurate observation under the slowing down he underwent. As Burroughs said, “it was a weird feeling, like everything seemed slower than you were actually doing and stuff”. Under the circumstances, it was more probable that the craft moved out a little quicker than a half a foot per second rather than in slow motion. It appears that Penniston tried to follow the manual’s guide in the procedure of observation. He made notes, took pictures, actually touched a warm craft’s texture and noted the texture of the materials and design of embedded lighting, not to mention the etchings on the craft. Under the conditions, Penniston did a magnificent job of holding to a rational approach. Burroughs appeared to be more affected by the conditions. In spite of that he doggedly pursued the craft when they saw it briefly at a distance and later found the three indentations at the landing area.

To the theorist of Imagination, Penniston’s procedure of observation had put a stake in the heart of the lighthouse theory. If you haven’t read David Hume’s A Treatise of Human Nature, and Jean-Paul Sartre’s The Theory of Imagination, you should never use Imagination as an explanation.

Electrostatics does not explain these phenomena. Try Googling electromagnetic fields UFOs

Most of our theories have used imagination basically to fill in the huge gaps. Our theories however, do have supporting evidence, some more than others. Many of our theories have tended to ingore or totally negate the witness statements or in other words have suggested that they are spinning us a yarn.

I said from day one that we should not ignore what they are telling us as they experienced some sort of unexplainable science that we have yet to understand.

Using the electrostatic atmosphere description is the best we can come up with considering that we are not scientists, well i'm not, but its basically for want of a better description.

Heavily ionised air can have similar effects on humans and if you google that subject you will find examples of that.

If you want to go down the road of the parranormal or some sort of time warp or whatever you want to call it, leave me out.

So its back to what caused this phenomena, and quite honestly, i haven't clue.

As one who has experienced the phenomenon, the descriptions were accurate. Time comes into play

[Observer]

Where and how did you experience this phenomenon and can you explain what you meant about the time comes into play?

[John Burroughs]

Remember what Williams said they cut through time! I understand it is a tough subject to adress but it is what it is. Time was involved and how or what caused it? Penniston didnot have time to do what he said he did unless all of us were in some kind of different dimension. 2 of the 3 felt it was there and gone only Jim said it took 45 min. And the night Halt was out there and I was out in the open field getting close to whatever it was there was some missing time. IE I got very close to somthing and then it was gone and I have no Idea what happened in between.

John
You are right its a tough subject. When Williams said they had cut through time, who was 'they'? Also, why did Williams say that, the reason i ask is because in Larry's book he said that Williams was talking to 3 entities in the field. One wonders if it was in English?

In a post on this site I beleive Slip X stated Williams said that to Bruni. I feel Warren was talking about Halt. He first called Williams LT Col Williams which would have been Halt. I never saw Williams out there and as far as I know nobody else did. As far as the time part goes again could some kind of vortex opened up. Man made or somthing else?

John
In an earlier post you answered the question that you and Jim Penniston never spoke about what happened following the events because you were efectively seperated from discussing it.
What about during the period after you left the forest, did you all reason what had just happened? Were you aware of the missing time at that stage?

I just wonder what you all were thinking and feeling in those few hours following the event.

Adrian

[John Burroughs]

We just could not beleive what happened. And we didnot talk about time !

One of my friends is ino huntin' shootin' fishing and spent a lot of time in the Australia Outback. As a builder at cattle stations he spent months / years out there. Mark is very tell it like its is guy, much like myself.
Whilst I was doing some UFO research I asked him about UFOs out in the out back and he came back after a lot of months with this weird story.
He said to me he had been out in a Cattle station with a number of guys and they went out shooting all the time. Then talk was made about UFOs with people having seen them, he thought it was some sort of wind up and dug a bit deeper and the guys he went shooting with said one night they were out in the bush trying to shoot kanagroos etc ( I dont support shooting) when this UFO came over their jeep and the engine just shut off and all the lights failed. He said they told him the UFO just hovered over their jeep and then silently moved off and every thing came to life. He said he guys appeared frightened just talking about it and you could see fear in their eyes. Mark spent a lot of time with these guys who just loved hunting and he said they were not into wind ups and were very disturbed by what had happened. This event would have been early 90s.
Mark was a very tell it like it was guy---- if he thought my interest in UFos was strange he would have told me in no uncertain terms.
Yet again we have a second hand evidence of UFos linked to strange magnetic effect

Just to clarify the item regarding Gen Williams that JB has referred to:

In the chapter regarding Georgina's meeting with him (hardback edition p.111) she writes:

"However when we discussed the UFO, he agreed there are more things in the universe than we may ever know about and was open to the possibility that an advanced civilization could have the technology to cut through time. I could not help wondering if he was trying to tell me something"
