This type of reporting based
on Earth evidence is a departure from my usual Mars and Moon reporting. However,
there may be a connection, so bare with me. This is the way it goes with evidence
research as bits and pieces gradually accumulate and the scope of the evidence
often widens the search. Don't worry, I'll return to the Mars and Moon research
soon.
The purpose of this report is to raise questions regarding some strange symbols
initially discovered and brought to my attention by a long time sharp eyed
viewer named Lottie. She asked me what I thought this may be? The above first
image demonstrates the symbols and some of the context area they are located
in. Note how heavy vehicle traffic leaves a clear record in the soil of this
terrain and especially around this evidence site. The terrain location is
as strange as the symbols themselves because it is essentially out in the
middle of no where in state of Nevada wastes here in the USA well north of
some super secret facilities. So we'll be paying attention to the terrain
aspect of the evidence as well as any symbols.
Over all this evidence area is located in the mid western part of the state
of Nevada here in the USA and Pershing county about 90 miles northeast of
the city of Reno. It is also well north of the famous Area 51 super secret
facility and the Nevada Test Range site where atomic bomb testing happens.
However, it must be noted that these sites in the southern part of Nevada
are only a short hop by air to the evidence sites revealed here in this report.
More specifically the evidence area is located just east by southeast of the
small town of Locklock, Nevada and east of the Interstate 80 and US-95 highway
at Lovelock.
Geographically the evidence area is part of a great lowland open area now
known as The Great Basin located between the Sierra Nevada mountains in California
to the west and Wasatch mountains in Utah to the east that wrap around to
the north of it into Oregon and extend all the way down into southern Nevada.
The Basin is characterized by open flat desert lowlands sprinkled with many
high ridge formations. In ancient times about 12,700 years ago during the
last ice age the evidence area was covered by water as much as 900 feet deep
known as huge Lake Lahontan covering about 8,500 square miles.
Around the end of the Pleistocene epoch climate change warming conditions
resulted in the bulk of the lake's surface water gradually drying up. So the
general area involved here is an old lake bed that is now mostly dried up
and in desert like conditions.
In more recent times the main water source is the Humboldt River drain from
north to south running through the area to the west fed by periodic snow melt
in the northern highlands. There are also mountainous heights to the more
immediate northeast of this general evidence area that produce snow melt coming
into the area via shorter unidentified drains. None of the drainage systems
continue on south of the area to the Gulf of Mexico as one might normally
expect but are absorbed into the ground in the general evidence area that
are known for this as sinks.
The two main lowland areas for this are known as Humboldt Sink and Carson
Sink. The Humboldt Sink is west of the evidence area closer to Lovelock and
the Carson Sink is just northeast of the evidence area and closer. As recently
as 1984 a connection was dug joining Humboldt Sink with the Carson Sink to
prevent unusually high snow melt water from flooding the town of Lovelock
and the highway system demonstrating that water under rare conditions can
still be a problem.
I mention this because the mountainous areas, especially those north of this
evidence area, are experiencing an unusual amount of snow fall even as I write
this piece. This could negatively impact this area a bit with higher surface
water conditions when the annual thaw comes this spring. Further, if that
unusually heavy snowfall should repeat for a few years in the future, even
more negative impact could become a factor. Just keep this potential in mind.
Otherwise, the evidence area is characterized by lowland dry desert conditions
and no development. Various parts of the wastes have been used for aircraft
bombing practice. The general area is also the location of the Carson Sink
UFO incident. On July 24, 1952 two highly experienced Air Force Lieutenant
Colonels assigned to the Pentagon were flying a vintage B-25 east out of San
Francisco crossing Carson Sink when they encountered three UFOs who came up
close and inspected them before flying away a very high speed. The incident
was reported to Air Defense Command who relayed to Project Blue Book and,
if you are familiar with Project Blue Book, you will not be surprised to learn
that of course was the end of that.
The most desolate part of this area where little living thing grows is the
location of this evidence. As you can see in the above first image, the location
of the symbols looks more like the gray moonscape (humm!) we've all seen than
any place on Earth. You will also note that when a vehicle passes over a spot
in this terrain, it leaves a long term record of its passing in the soil.
The above second image provides
a little better look at the symbol evidence. Is there anyone out there that
doubts for a moment that we are looking at some language or code symbols here?
Note how the "U" shaped structures on the lower left all have very
specific multiple directional patterns and spacing one from the other that
forms a rectangle. It just can't get more geometrically rigid or intentionally
placed than that thoroughly ruling out the possibility of coincidence.
The first thing that struck me is that this looks like very ancient Mayan
but it may not be anything to do with that at all. My
main reason for posting this is to see if anyone can decipher this message
obviously meant to be seen only from above and/or offer an explanation for
its presence here in the middle of no where?
Should any of you wish to download
or print out a more manageable size image of the symbols to use in your research
and share with others, the above third and smaller image is a very high quality
.jpeg file that will hold up well for this purpose. Please also understand
that the formation of this scene is subject to the type of materials used
to produce it. For example, the enclosed boxes with a hole in the center may
be meant to represent round "O" forms and only forced into the rectangular
box forms by nature of the rectangular cube materials used.
Even though the Google Earth resolution on the original is poor, please also
note the obvious fact that all of these objects are very uniform in texture
and color. That is a clue as you will see in the next image below.
The above fourth image is of
another remote lone site far north of the one with the symbol formations in
ground that is beginning to rise in elevation into highlands. This actually
appears to be a storage depot containing many blocks or cubes placed closely
together forming storage of the cubes in rows ready and waiting for use. Although
the Google Earth resolution is poor, note many of the rows clearly appear
to be the same material and/or color that constitutes the placed symbols site.
This is informative. Why? Because these are likely uniform cubes or perhaps
storage containers stored here at this depot ready for deployment. This clearly
suggests that the symbols at the first site examined here are not formed by
more permanent building structures but by these cube shaped objects that are
readily transportable and manipulable. In other words, they can be relatively
quickly transported to a spot like the placed symbols site, just plopped out
on the ground, and neatly arranged to fit in this case a communication agenda
in a language or code that can be seen only from above and deciphered only
by those it is meant to be seen by.
Also, you should know that further north up the north/south access road that
runs by this depot is yet another depot not imaged here
with more of these cube objects stored there. It should also be noted that
this other depot would be located in even higher country whereas all of the
placement sites are located down in the sink lowland wastes in the middle
of no where. This suggests that the depot further in the highlands is there
as backup both for numbers of cubes and perhaps as an alternative to flood
potential.
Here in the above fifth image is another evidence site in this same general locale but north of the symbols site and, as typical of all the placed sites, off remote by itself. Now this site has required the placement of a great many of the cubes in two highly compacted rectangular blocks joined by a center section. It appears that there are at least two vertical layers of the cubes. The bottom layer is of cubes placed immediately adjacent to and against each other forming a unbroken base platform and then another cube placed on top of every other base cube to form the staggered pattern you see above.
.
The above left sixth image is
of a smaller also remote lone site located to the south of the symbols site.
There isn't much to this site but it is there and I thought you should be
aware of it. There is an unpaved road that comes down south from the depot
site far to the north through a water reservoir area and then down deep into
the raw remote sink. Branching off the west of this poor access road can be
found the remote site in the 5th image, then well below that the remote site
with the symbols in question here in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd images, and then
further south this small 6th image site.
However, far to the northeast of the symbols placement site and east of the
reservoir area, there is the above right seventh image is another small even
more remote site in a fat "T" shaped configuration. Note how the
ground here is more light reflective and there are no traffic patterns on
the ground around this site except very old faded ones. Note the spots around
on the ground, these are bush growths growing back in this site. You can barely
see it but there is a very faded access road that runs at an angle from lower
left to upper right just through the lower end of the site that hasn't seen
any use in a very long time.
For those of you who wish to
check this evidence out behind me, the above and below two images will help.
The above eighth image provides a wide context view of the entire evidence
area. It demonstrates the positions of the sites in relation to each other.
My next report will cover the round sites you see in the vertical center of
the image, so don't email me about that until you've seen that report.
Note the water reservoir site as labeled. This is obviously a natural water
catch system that has been artificially worked for the drains in the highlands
just north of it. Note a second smaller artificially dug reservoir just below
the main one. Both of the reservoirs overflow. Multiple long earth dams have
been constructed below the reservoirs to retard their overflow but these have
in turn been breached in a great many places allowing the water to pass on
further to the south into the sink before coming to a stop and eventually
sinking in the ground. As of 2006 when this image was taken, no repairs appear
to have been done on the original dam breaches indicating little or no interest
in maintenance.
Note the obvious that the three of the placement sites, including the one
with the symbols, could be subjected to water flow and flooding conditions
if excess snow melt in the highlands became a factor. The direction of the
relatively minimal water overflow from the reservoir areas into the southern
terrain where the placement sites are located seen here tells the story even
if most of the water overflow that happened here in 2006 or prior passed mostly
to the west of the placement sites.
The above ninth image provides
an even wider field of view showing the evidence site in relation to the major
points of interest in Nevada. Note the city of Reno in the lower left, the
town of Lovelock and US-95 and Interstate 80 in the area just left of center,
and the gray moonscape lake bed sink evidence area pointed out with the red
arrow.
You should know that there are also two lonely remote likely inhabited sites
(not imaged) in this general area but well north of the placement sites and
south of the depot sites. One is at the larger reservoir and one is out to
the right of that area in a lonely spot. They appear to be outposts or remote
mine office type sites. Both are also on raised rectangular fill platforms
suggesting the acknowledgement of and preparedness for potential future higher
water levels in this old lake bed area. I suspect if you and I were to go
there and could get that far (doubtful), we would not encounter friendly good
old boy miner types but some hard types giving us the polite bum's rush to
get out of there, if we were lucky.
On the other hand, there is no such flood potential anticipation with the
cube placement sites. The cubes appear to just be plopped out on the ground
and may theoretically be subject to such flooding potential. That suggests
that any of their cube content, if any, would likely not be hazardous and
that their location in the middle of no where is just to be out of sight of
prying eyes. It also suggests that these sites and their configurations are
meant to be subject to rearranging.
That brings up another question. Are these cube containers just empty and
used as objects to form relatively temporary messages under the guise of being
storage container sites? That depot of excess cubes standing by to the far
north and the one further north of that in the highlands suggest this is a
consideration. Remember that it is only a short hop by air from the evidence
area here to the super secret Area 51 and the Nevada Test Range in the southern
part of Nevada. In fact, this old lake bed area in the past used as a bombing
range could be considered a northern extension by air of the covert facilities
to the south.
If so, messages to who? Certainly, if the message is visual as we think of
that being, the message is meant only for someone overhead and it is big enough
to be seen at some distance. Remember, if you or I were to drive nearby these
sites via ground transport, we would never have a clue that the symbols site
contains some kind of huge size message and in an unknown language. On the
other hand, perhaps the containers are cubes made of a substance or contain
something that allows them to be seen via instruments from a great distance
registering on someone's view screen without surrounding interference?
Further, any such messages via this crude long term enduring signpost like
method designed to stand out in bare remote terrain and last over months or
years would not likely be for anyone among us but more likely only for the
the occasional passerby via aircraft. But, why the difficult to interpret
symbols? Is it alien script for aliens? Is it an ancient hard to crack Earth
language relating to some secrecy agenda? Surely the cost of those two depots
of readiness reserve cubes and the symbol site precludes someone just messing
around and suggests someone is very serious and intentional about it all.
If this evidence area had only the other placement sites and there was no
obvious symbols site, one might think one was just looking at some strange
storage site, maybe of hazardous materials, in the middle of no where. However,
someone going to the careful trouble of creating these cube units in that
complex communication configuration in an unknown language or code at the
symbols site demonstrates that something far more than that is going on here.
Here's another question. If this represents some kind of secret covert operation,
as I suspect it does, why would these symbols be appearing on Google Earth
so readily accessible all over the world? Surely this would have at the very
minimum been hidden by image tampering applications. Surely it is obvious
that not everyone who browses Google Earth has a closed mind and would quickly
identify this as anomalous and particularly since it is relatively near Area
51 by air transport. I do see image obfuscation on Google Earth, so it does
exist and why not here covering over such anomalous and highly suggestive
evidence?
Does someone want this to be found to fulfill .....what? Or, is this a sign
of over confidence and/or incompetence on the part of the secrecy types thinking
that hiding something in plain sight is the way to go? On the surface it just
doesn't make much sense to a normal thinking person. However, I suspect it
makes plenty of sense to those who normally think in convert circuitous ways.
In any case, here are the symbols and some context information associated
with them. Now let's see if any of you can figure out what the symbols translate
to or if you know someone to refer this to who can perhaps interpret the symbols.
Maybe we'll also see if anyone wants to hit us with a little spin control
as to what is going on here and why there is no reason to be suspicious. Likewise,
if anyone comes across satellite images dating after May, 2006 of these sites
showing any changes in these configurations, please bring it to my attention.
