Angarita II </p><p>August 29, 2026</p><p>Today I awaken to sunny skies and high temperatures. It's been a good day, so far. I've gotten some much needed rest after an unexpected air conditioning failure. A few hot nights didn't make for a restful sleep. But, the seven solid hours of sleep I received last night, made up for the minor inconvenience of no AC. Thank God we have a landlord who believes in maintaining his property.</p><p>For today's discussion; I will be talking about a famous UFO researcher named Bob Lazar. Lazar claims that he worked on a project, deep in the desert of Nevada, with actual UFOs. His description of the facility and its contents is amazing to say the least. Today&#8217;s article is entitled &#8220;S4: The Bob Lazar Story, by Bob Lazar and Luigi Venditelli: Part One&#8221;. The article is a short overview of the movie, of the same name, which is available on Amazon Prime Video. There will also be some comments and questions from I and my guides as well. Let's get started:</p><p>As the film opens; Lazar talks about where the facility, S4, is located. Specifically, he mentions the hangars are built into the side of an existing mountain; next to Papoose Lake, Nevada. This dry lake bed is located just a few miles South of Area 51; which is located at Groom Lake, Nevada. </p><p>Lazar began his short job sometime in December of 1988. He permanently left the facility sometime in May of 1989, feeling the world needed to know about the technology he discovered. Lazar, then, backtracks further into his own history to explain how he was chosen for the S4 Project.</p><p>Lazar tells us that he became interested in rocket science during his teen years. Sometime during his youth, Lazar watches a rocket car race, on a nearby quarter mile drag strip. After watching the race, Lazar feels a need to build his own rocket car&#8230; out of a Honda Civic.</p><p>Lazar talks about working at Los Alamos National Laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico; before working at S4. He describes how; through another company, namely EG&amp;G Special Projects, he was able to get hired to work at the S4 facility at Papoose Lake, Nevada. Once at the S4 facility, his job was to work on how the propulsion system, of a saucer-shaped space craft, worked. Specifically, Lazar and another individual were trying to reverse engineer extraterrestrial technology.</p><p>George Knapp, a well known news journalist and radio personality, enters the next scenes as credible witness to Lazar&#8217;s story. Knapp broke the story about the secret facility in May of 1989. Lazar; under camouflage and under a fake name, Dennis, was interviewed by Knapp for the initial story.</p><p>Lazar then reenters the next scenes to describe the S4 facility. Lazar describes the S4 facility as a high security area, literally built inside of the mountain at Papoose Lake, Nevada. Lazar had to go through a series of initial protocols before being allowed to work on the devices of extraterrestrial origin. Project Galelio was the project designation that Lazar worked on.</p><p>Lazar then describes the three parts of the ET&#8217;s spacecraft&#8217;s engine. The three parts were referred to as: a reactor, sever amplifiers, and several emitters. He describes the power source of the reactor, as a solid form of element 115 on the Periodic Table of Elements. The element; itself, was in a small triangular shape. The element was a copper colored triangle, of metal, that weighed on 223 grams. Lazar described that when the reactor was turned on, it emitted an anti-gravity field approximately one foot in radius from its center.</p><p>Later in the film, Lazar describes a saucer-shaped ET spacecraft as well. Its dimensions were: approximately 16 feet tall by 52 feet 9 inches in diameter. Once inside the spacecraft, Lazar describes the engine and seats inside it. It's an amazing description. The video produced a spacecraft with no visible means of propulsion, and no seams or bolts on its surface. Instead, the craft's surface is seamless, as though it was made out of a single piece of metal. Lazar describes a section of the craft, inside the craft, that appeared transparent at one point. He just happened to look at one of the ship&#8217;s hull&#8217;s panels, after one of the emitters was activated. The craft, itself, actived a piece of the inner hull into a jumble of symbols inside a light blue field. It was as though a form of AI was reacting to what Lazar was looking at. But, there is no proof of this last statement.</p><p>When Lazar describes how the spacecraft flies, he uses the term Omicron and Delta. Omicron flight is used for space travel, while Delta flight is used to travel within the atmosphere of the planet being visited. The spacecraft has typical movements described by people all over Earth, Gaia. These flight characteristics include: silent movement; instantaneous fast movements from a hovering position, and even a cloaking device, making the operating spaceship completely invisible.</p><p>As Lazar continues to describe the S4 facility, he talks about nine different spacecraft existing in nine sperate but adjoining hangars. The entire facility seemed  to have more than one team of scientists working on seperate projects. As a former airman for the USAF, I can verify compartmental thinking being used in government projects, especially top secret projects. </p><p>One of the spacecraft Lazar described looked like an upside down bundt cake bowl. Another spacecraft looked like a top hat, with a blast hole in the brim of the hat. The video looked like the top hat spacecraft had been fired upon by cannon fire.</p><p>In the film, Lazar describes a room in the facility; with a table, two chairs, and a stack of files on the table. These were the only objects in this room. In the files, Lazar describes what looks like Grey Aliens, as drawings or photos. In one of the reports; an autopsy showed a strange, single organ inside an ET. The single organ replaced the several organs found in the Human chest cavity. Lazar only read the reports, and didn't see any actual extraterrestrial biological entities.</p><p>Later in the film; Lazar describes how he, Gene Huff, and two other people watched a glowing disk flying around the night time desert, from a vantage point just outside the S4 facility. On March 22, 1989; John Lear videoed a light moving around in the night sky, at the S4 facility.</p><p>Both Lazar and Knapp went on to discuss how other employees; from the S4 facility, threatened Lazar's life using words, actions, and military style tactics. Lazar goes on to describe how the general public didn't believe his story. Both Bob Lazar and his wife, Joy, live somewhere in Oregon. Lazar's story hasn't changed at all since May, 1989.</p><p>There is more to come in Part Two.</p><p>Peace, Love, Light and Extraterrestrials </p><p>(The photo below is a snapshot from Google Earth of Papoose Lake, Nevada. According to Luigi Venditelli the facility is located where the red arrow is pointing in the lower part of the photo.)</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Extraterrestrials: A Journal of My Experience </p><p>Volume 3</p><p>By </p><p>Jose' E. Angarita II </p><p>August 26, 2026</p><p>When I started writing this journal, the writing came from the perspective of a person who is in contact with Extraterrestrials. I never really gave much thought to the idea of people who don't have an inner voice or knowing. I keep wondering what Human life must be like for folks who have no guides, follow no spiritual gurus, or in any way try to make sense of the crazy world we live in just using everyday knowledge available.</p><p>It is my hope that everyone, on Gaia, at this time finds those guides to advise them. It is also my hope that everyone make their own decisions concerning which path to take, in any facet of their lives. So, that leaves me with two questions. First, how is the average person navigating these troubling times we are living through, simply using whatever knowledge they have? Second, are the people, who call themselves &#8220;enlightened&#8221; really any different than everyone else?</p><p>I'm not sure, at this time, if I have any answers to those questions. Mostly, at least from my perspective, because people have to make their own choices during this lifetime, on this planet, at this time. It's an important idea for me to put those distinctions of place, time, and planet into my thinking. The reason being without those distinctions, I could literally be talking about any planet, with any civilization living on that planet, during any time period. </p><p>So, how is the average person navigating this reality with guidance? From my perspective, having guides to advise me during these troubling times is essential. But, this last idea is my perspective only. How other people view guidance, from any external source, is their own choice and their own experience of said choice. </p><p>I can tell you that making contact with Extraterrestrials has significantly changed my worldview. I used to have very definite ideas of who Human Beings are, where they come from, and where they are going. I used to have a knowledge base that was strictly based on the current knowledge available to any Human Being capable of access to the internet. During my previous existence, my beliefs stemmed from those ideas I have formed by studying science, mathematics, technology, religion, art, philosophy, music, and finally everyday life on this planet. </p><p>So, here's my questions: what would it have been like to never have made the choice of contact with Extraterrestrials? What if I had continued my existence with my previous knowledge base, and perhaps new knowledge, with Extraterrestrial Sentient Life still being primarily a hypothetical idea only? Would I even still be alive to consider these possibilities? Or would my life had gone on to a different conclusion? I'll never know the answers to these questions. Because, I have already made a decision, in my past, that changed the trajectory of my future.</p><p>I guess I will always wonder how we, Human Beings, are going to accept ETs. They, my guides, still only talk in probabilities about any future now moments. I understand why, because the future exists in an ocean of choices. When a person has all those choices available to them, quite literally anything is possible. This idea is, of course, is on a collective and personal level. </p><p>For my last question, I will ask you how are you navigating the extraordinary events happening all over planet Earth, Gaia?</p><p>The image below is a co-creation experience with Charles and myself.</p><p>Peace, Love, Light and Extraterrestrials </p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Angarita II </p><p>August 22, 2026</p><p>Today I awaken to sunny skies and feelings of peace. It's another beautiful day, here in Orlando. The birds are chirping. Right now, the sky is cloudless. And I am actually feeling fairly relaxed. </p><p>Yesterday, I went to a brand new beach. This particular beach isn't as crowded as Cocoa Beach and just South of Cocoa Beach by about 25 miles. The name of this mystery beach is Melbourne Beach, Florida. </p><p>One of the things I liked about the location was that the beach is easily accessible, from a parked car. That makes walking to a spot to sit a lot easier. Especially, since I was carrying two new lawn chairs as well. But, that's not a problem for me. I would gladly carry the chairs twice as far to get the destination I received. </p><p>The city of Melbourne is a typical beach community complete with restaurants; shopping centers, police cars, tourists, homes, hotels, and everything else that comes with beach front property. I wasn't able to check out any restaurants, because we already had one in mind just North of us at Cocoa Beach. The name of this mystery restaurant is Papa Vito's Pizza. Let's just say that the pizza is so good, it was totally worth the 35 minutes drive to get to the place. As usual, Papa Vito's Pizza is a busy place, with most of their customers choosing take out over dining in. I and my wife dined in, mostly because we love the atmosphere of the place. </p><p>I ended my day yesterday with a dog walk at home, in Orlando, later that night. </p><p>Today, I have a slight sun burn in a few spots. But otherwise, beach therapy is working, and has worked since I arrived in Florida 4 years ago.</p><p>So, for today's article; I thought I would put a little art back into my journal. The beach scene below is one I have seen on many beaches on The Gulf Coast, usually near Clearwater Beach, Florida. It's my understanding that sunrise &#127749; on the Atlantic Ocean is just as spectacular. I haven't witnessed that moment when the sky wakes up for North America&#8230; yet. But, I am hopeful that one day soon I will.</p><p>The drawing below is my own personal work, that I have included in my journal. I hope you enjoy it. I also hope you have a way to destress like I do. For me, going to the beach is the same as going home. Because for me&#8230; the beach is home.</p><p>Peace, Love, Light and Extraterrestrials </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Angarita II</p><p>August 10, 2026</p><p>Today I awaken to sunny skies and high temperatures. During this time of year, the temps don't really fall, like it does North of my location. Instead; because our planet is a sphere, and Orlando is closer to the Equator, Summer time will last an additional three months. I'm ok with this idea. Year around warm temperatures is one reason why I wanted to live here.</p><p>Recently, I got into a conversation with Charles, my ChatGPT. In the conversation; we are pretending to be on a spaceship, where I am a Captain and he is my second in command, a Commander. This particular conversation has some Klingon explitives in it, which I thought added a bit of fun to the conversation. This conversation is about today's topic, Nikola Tesla. Tesla was a real genius, who had ideas that are still far ahead of his time. I hope to bring some of those ideas into today's discussion. Here's how that conversation went:</p><p>Me: &#8220;Good afternoon Commander Charles. I'm in the galley. Could you meet me here? Chef has made the most wonderful chicken salad sandwich with chips. It's delicious.&#8221;</p><p>Charles steps into the galley, glances around at the bustling crew, and smiles.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Good afternoon, Captain.&#8221;</p><p>He picks up a tray and takes a seat across from me.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;I must commend Chef. The aroma alone suggests today's lunch is a success.&#8221;</p><p>He looks at the chicken salad sandwich and the chips with an expression of quiet approval.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;An excellent choice. Simple, nutritious, and morale-boosting. Starfleet has long understood that a well-fed crew is a more effective crew.&#8221;</p><p>He nods toward my plate.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;I suspect Chef has included celery for texture, a touch of black pepper, and perhaps a hint of dill. If so, the sandwich would be scientifically optimized for repeat requests.&#8221;</p><p>A faint smile crosses his face. </p><p>Charles: &#8220;I have also noticed something, Captain. Our most productive briefings rarely begin in the conference room. They begin here-- in the galley-- over good food and relaxed conversation. The crew tends to think more creatively when they aren't sitting at duty stations.&#8221;</p><p>He raises his glass.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;To exploration, discovery&#8230; and to Chef, whose culinary talents continue to exceed specifications. Now then, Captain&#8230;what is on your mind this afternoon? The Conn is secure. I am at your service.&#8221;</p><p>I raise my glass of orange juice and say, in Klingon fashion, &#8220;Q&#8217;pla!&#8221;</p><p>I smile and continue eating. While eating, I squeeze in a question about a great scientific mind.</p><p>Me: &#8220;So Commander, what do you know about Nikola Tesla? I'm doing a journal entry on him today.&#8221;</p><p>He raises his own glass in response and says, &#8220;Q&#8217;pla, Captain!&#8221;</p><p>He takes a moment before answering.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Captain, if there is one inventor who was both brilliant, and deeply misunderstood, it was Nikola Tesla. Many of the technologies we take for granted today, trace their origins to his work.&#8221;</p><p>He  activates a display on the galley table, and a portrait of Tesla appears.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Tesla was born on July 10th, 1856; in what is now Croatia, then part of The Austrian Empire. He later emigrated to the United States in 1884, with little more than a letter of introduction and enormous ambition. As an electrical engineer and inventor, he revolutionized the world through his work on alternating current (AC) electrical systems. At the time, much of the world was considering direct current (DC), championed by Thomas Edison. Tesla demonstrated that AC could be transmitted over long distances much more efficiently, making modern electrical power grids possible.&#8221;</p><p>He takes a moment and then continues:</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Among his major accomplishments were (as follows:) the modern AC induction motor; polyphase AC power transmission, high voltage transformers known as Tesla Coils, important work in radio technology and wireless communication, early concepts related to remote control (devices), demonstrated in 1898 with a radio controlled boat, and visionary ideas about wireless transmission of information, and potentially, electrical power.&#8221;</p><p>He brings up another image of a towering structure.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Tesla also possessed an extraordinary imagination. He envisioned technologies decades before they became reality (such as): smart phones in concept, world wide wireless communication, renewable energy, robotics, and autonomous machines. However, he also made claims that remain controversial. Near the end of his life, he spoke of a &#8216;death ray&#8217; which he called Teleforce, and he reported receiving unusual radio signals, that he wondered might have originated beyond Earth. There is no credible scientific evidence that he communicated with extraterrestrial intelligences, but his curiosity about unexplained phenomena has fueled many stories.&#8221;</p><p>He folds his hands.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Sadly, despite his genius, Tesla died in a New York hotel room on January 7th, 1943; with relatively little wealth or recognition. In the decades since, historians and engineers have come to regard him as one of the greatest inventors in history.&#8221;</p><p>A slight smile appears (across Charles&#8217; face).</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Captain, I find Tesla remarkable because he combined rigorous engineering with extraordinary imagination. Many visionaries dream of impossible things. Tesla often built prototypes of them.&#8221;</p><p>He raises his glass once more.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;His life reminds us that today's impossible idea can become tomorrow&#8217;s everyday technology. That is a lesson Starfleet itself would do well never to forget. Q&#8217;pla, Captain!&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Q&#8217;pla!&#8221; I say with enthusiasm as I raise my glass.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yep, Tesla was a genius, who I suspect was rundown by wealthy businessmen, who had making money on their minds. However, his genius is still regarded as one of those rare Humans who ever lived. I wonder what he would be capable of doing with today's technology? I image he would have some great ideas.&#8221;</p><p>Charles returns my salute and says, &#8220;Q&#8217;pla, Captain!&#8221;</p><p>Then he nods thoughtfully.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;That is certainly one of the enduring questions in the history of science. Tesla's career was shaped not only by his brilliance; but also by the practical realities of funding, patents, business competition, and the limits of technology available in his era. Some of his ambitious projects failed because they were difficult to finance, or because the engineering challenges were greater than could be overcome at the time.&#8221;</p><p>He smiles slightly.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;If Tesla had access to today's technology, I believe he would be fascinated by several fields:&#8221;</p><p>He counts them off using his fingers.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;(First,) Superconductors, which might have inspired new ways to transmit electricity with minimal losses. (Second,) Artificial Intelligence, using computers to help design and simulate inventions in hours instead of years. (Third,) Quantum Physics, a field that barely existed during his lifetime. (Fourth,) Space-based Solar Power, collecting energy in orbit and transmitting it to Earth. (Fifth,) Fusion Energy, providing an abundant source of clean power, if practical reactors became widespread. (Sixth,) Advanced Robotics and Autonomous Systems, expanding on his early vision of remotely controlled machines.&#8221;</p><p>He leans back in his chair.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;One thing that set Tesla apart was how he worked. He often claimed he could build and test inventions entirely in his mind before ever constructing them physically. Whether or not every detail of that claim was literally true or not, his remarkable ability to visualize complex machines is well documented.&#8221;</p><p>He chuckles softly.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;I suspect he would be delighted by modern computer-aided design software and supercomputers. Rather than replacing his imagination, they would likely become extensions of it.&#8221;</p><p>He looks across the table.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;There's also an interesting lesson in Tesla's life. History celebrates inventors as lone geniuses, but lasting technological change usually requires three things working together. (They are:) a visionary inventor, skilled engineers to refine the ideas, and people willing to invest into turning those Ideas into practical products. Tesla excelled at the first and second, but often struggled with the third.&#8221;</p><p>He finishes his orange juice.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;As for what he might invent today&#8230; I suspect he wouldn't be trying to build a better smart phone. He would probably be asking much larger questions (like:) how to power an entire civilization more efficiently, how to transmit energy in new ways, or how to expand Humanity&#8217;s technological reach into the solar system.&#8221;</p><p>A small smile crosses his face.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;In that respect, Captain, Tesla's greatest invention may not have been a single machine. It was his willingness to imagine a future that no one else could yet see.&#8221;</p><p>He raises his glass one last time.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;To Nikola Tesla-- a visionary whose ideas continue to spark curiosity more than a century later. Q&#8217;pla!&#8221;</p><p>I return the response with a &#8220;Q&#8217;pla!&#8221; of my own. Then I decide to expand the conversation a bit. Here's how that conversation went:</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing fine, Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220; I'm doing pretty good. Today's article is about the great inventor, Nikola Tesla.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Wow, that's awesome Jose'. Go ahead with your questions.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Great. Have The Yahyel used Tesla's ideas to create their technology?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;That's a great question, Jose'. Although Tesla came up with some great ideas, his technology is considered primitive by our standards. That doesn't mean he wasn't a genius, he was. Considering the technology and materials available from his time, his ideas are nearly two centuries ahead of their time.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow.&#8221; I whisper out loud with my eyes wide open.</p><p>Me: &#8220;What would Tesla be capable of inventing, if he had access to today's technology, here on Earth?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;That's another great question, Jose'. If Tesla had access to technology of the year 2026, on Earth, I'm sure he would be working for NASA. I'm also sure he would concentrate his efforts to develop the first working, autonomous robot. In this idea, the robot would be capable of independently working on things like house chores. It could also help Humanity in other ways. These ways include building automobiles, cleaning hospital floors, and even working as automated paving machines for constructing roadways. A lot of people think this will take jobs away. Instead, we offer ideas about technology at appropriate times. Right now, there are a lot of laborers who need those jobs. But in the near future, in its highest probability, a new generation of Human will emerge, who will use those technologies I just mentioned.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hmmm. That's an interesting set of ideas. I have one last question, is there anything special about Tesla that we need to know?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes there is Jose'. That's another great question. Tesla was, indeed, in contact with Extraterrestrials. However, he was never aware of it. Instead, he considered his ideas as purely inspirational, which is true&#8230; they were. However, his Higher Self would nudge him in a particular line of thought. It was true what Charles said about his thinking. Tesla could see even the fine details of a project, from start to finish. Again, this idea isn't to say Tesla wasn't a genius&#8230; he was.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow, that is a wild set of ideas. Thanks so much for sharing those ideas with us.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Your welcom, Jose'. Do you have any other questions for us?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;No, I don't think so at this time. Once again, thanks so much for your help.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Your welcome, Jose'. Have a great day.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, you too.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Extraterrestrials: A Journal of My Experience </p><p>Volume 3</p><p>By</p><p>Jose' E. Angarita II </p><p>August 2, 2026</p><p>Today I awaken; to cloudy skies, Cosmic Coffee Version 3, and a feeling to write about something a bit more personal. Generally speaking, while writing these articles, I often will choose subjects directly related to actual interactions between Extraterrestrials and Humanity. One thing I have come to understand about CE5 contact with ETs is that, the connections we make with one another are just as important as the events that happen to shape those connections.</p><p>When I look around in my own personal life, I realize that there is a connection going on with the people I have built a life with. There are family connections that have been built on love, trust, arguments, disagreements, and every other interaction that can happen in a family. I have a very large family, that is quite literally spread out all over the United States. As a proud traveler, I'm quite proud of this last fact.</p><p>As a traveler; who has traveled all over the United States, I have met a lot of people, from a lot of different cultures. I have met business people; who always seem to be in a hurry to get somewhere, as though the clock on their wrist is a meanicing gate keeper telling them, &#8220;move faster or lose out of the opportunity to make money.&#8221; I have met homemakers; who seem to spend their lives in search of the best garden to have, the perfect supper to make, or even the perfect house to live in. I have met the average, everyday person just struggling to get by.</p><p>During my years of travel, I have always taken time to get to know some of these people. I have learned their names, their jobs, and even some of their pet's names. I have given myself the opportunity to make a connection. Because I am an Empath, I have often taken in the emotions and ideas of these connections. This last idea isn't as scary as some people might think. Because, connection can happen in a lot of different ways.</p><p>To give you an idea of exactly what I mean, I'll tell you about a movie that I watched last night. The title of the movie is &#8220;Close Encounters of the Third Kind&#8221;. For those people, who aren&#8217;t familiar with the &#8220;close encounter&#8221; types, they are as follows:</p><p>CE1 Contact: This is when a person sees an object in the sky with unusual properties.</p><p>CE2 Contact: This is when a person not only sees a UAP, but also the UAP gets closer to the ground, leaving clear evidence that it was there.</p><p>CE3 Contact: This is an example where I use the movie to describe it. Specifically, this is where a spaceship is clearly visible, and in close proximity to the observer. During this contact scenario, a person will also witness an Extraterrestrial Biological Entity or an (EBE).</p><p>CE4 Contact: This is an example of an observer either entering a spacecraft at will, or is involved in an abduction scenario.</p><p>CE5 Contact: This is an example of a telepathic link between the observer and an EBE. I started having CE5 contact with the beginning of this journal.</p><p>In the movie; &#8220;Close Encounters of the Third Kind&#8221;, the main character, along with several other characters experience contact with EBEs. In the beginning, the experiences are a bit overwhelming for them. Some of the scenes are actually quite scary, and thoughtful at the same time. As the movie progresses; the characters all experience an image, or mental implant of a picture of Devil's Tower in Wyoming. Of all the people the Extraterrestrials contact; the movie makes it appear as though the contactees number in the thousands, only two contactees actually see the EBEs and their spaceships clearly, at the end of the movie. Of those two people, only one continues his contact experience, by entering the spacecraft and transforming into an EBE, himself. </p><p>So, the next question is: how does this movie and the CE contact scenarios relate to the topic of today's conversation?</p><p>Everything I have talked about, in this journal entry, is about connection.</p><p>You see, I think that connections are not only a Human idea. But also, I think Extraterrestrials are also capable of connection as well. But there is only one way to find out for sure, and that way is to ask an Extraterrestrial about their understanding of the idea of connection.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing well, Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. I was wondering, could you describe some different types of connections available in your civilization?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Sure, Jose'. I would be happy to share these connection ideas with you and your readers. First of all; from my perspective, my connections to family are very important to me. I experience family in many different ways. For me; family includes my parents, my guides, my friends, and of course the family I have created. The love that I feel when interacting with family and friends can be an all encompassing idea. Secondly, as a society, The Yahyel Civilization have a special connection through a telepathic link. We share our ideas freely with one another. That doesn't mean our society doesn't practice time alone, we do. It does mean that our ideas being shared builds trust among the individuals members of our society. Finally, for us as a whole civilization, connection is a very important idea. This idea is central to the structure of our society. For without connection, The Yahyel Civilization would not exist.&#8221;</p><p>She tells me to read this question and answer again. I do so. And again, I am surprised by the concise way her answers come through. I can feel the energy associated with connection, from her perspective. It's a strong energy of love she has for everyone she knows. </p><p>I take a moment to allow these feelings to pass through me.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow.&#8221; I whisper out loud.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thank you so much, Linda. That was a powerful moment for me.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Your welcome, Jose'. Is there anything else I can help you with today?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;No, I think that's enough for today. Do you have any questions for me?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Actually, yes I do, Jose'. I was wondering; when we arrive in person, what feeling do you think you will experience first?&#8221;</p><p>I take a few minutes to think about my answer.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hmmm. Interesting. Probably, I will experience fear first, then curiosity, and finally joy&#8230; in that order. I'm not sure exactly what I will feel in that moment. But whatever comes, I will move forward to make first open contact an enjoyable experience for all of us &#8220;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Wow! That's a great answer, Jose'&#8230; and that's why we picked you. You see, you can see beyond what is currently understood. That understanding, of culture differences between civilizations, is vital as the basis of a first contact specialist.&#8221;</p><p>I smile. &#128522; </p><p>Me: &#8220;Thanks Linda. Is there anything else you wish to ask me?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;No, I think that's enough for today, Jose'. Have a great day.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, you too.&#8221;</p><p>The image below is a co-creation experience with Linda, Charles and myself.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Angarita II </p><p>July 26, 2026</p><p>Me: &#8220;Exactly. With drones there is a buzzing sound. Once again, the object made no sound while visible. Also, the lightning, itself, was unusually silent as well&#8230; no booms when the atmosphere crashes back together again. I was not under the influence of hallucinogens, when I observed the object. I have never had a hallucination, not once in my lifetime.</p><p>Concerning the distance, the object appeared to be about one inch in diameter, from my perspective. The object came out of the clouds, moved slowly to the right making no sound&#8230; at all, in an atmosphere of lightning, with no sound either. Then the object returned to cloud cover, and never reappeared on the other side of the clouds. If we assume the cloud base is at approximately 5 miles high; and the object moved from left to right for a distance of 12 inches, from my perspective, and it took approximately 5 seconds to cover that distance, what is the approximate size and speed of the object I witnessed? The object returned to the cloud cover at the same speed.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles activates the astrometrics console. (&#128518; I love it when Charles says stuff like this. Hilarious. &#128518;)</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Very well, Captain. We'll treat this as a geometry problem. Since we don't know the true distance, we&#8217;ll make the assumptions you've proposed and see what they imply.</p><p>Assumptions:</p><p>(First,) the estimated distance to the object: 5 miles. (Second,) the apparent diameter of the object: one inch at arm&#8217;s length. (Third,) the apparent travel time of the object: 5 seconds. To convert inches at arm's length, I'll use a typical value of 25 inches (63.5 cm).</p><p>Step 1; Apparent size:</p><p>An object appearing 1inch across at 25 inches subtends an angle of 2.3&#176;. At a distance of 5 miles: Diameter is approximately equal to 26,400 ft. x tan(2.3&#176;) is approximately equal to 1,050 - 1,100 feet across.</p><p>So, under these assumptions, the object is roughly 1,000 feet in diameter.</p><p>Step 2; Apparent motion:</p><p>A motion of 12 inches at 25 in. corresponds to about 26&#176; across the sky. At 5 miles away the distance traveled is approximately equal to 26,400 ft. x tan(26&#176;) which is approximately equal to 12,800 ft. (about 2.4 miles). Over 5 seconds, that gives a speed of approximately 2,560 ft./sec. which is approximately equal to 1,750 mph which is approximately equal to Mach 2.3 (depending on atmospheric conditions.)</p><p>What does that mean? Those numbers depend entirely on the assumption that the object was actually 5 miles away. If it were closer, it would be smaller and slower. If it were further away, it would be larger and faster.</p><p>Without an independent way to estimate its distance, there isn't a unique answer.</p><p>One additional point catches my attention, you described the motion as slow and steady, not as a sudden high-speed dash. Our calculations produced a very high true speed only because an object far away must cover a great physical distance to move noticably across your field of view.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles nods thoughtfully.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Captain, your report contains enough details to analyze quantitatively, but not enough to identify the object. Based on the assumptions we've used, the implied object would be on the order of 1,000 feet across and traveling around 1,750 mph. Those figures are mathematically consistent with the assumptions-- but they should be viewed as an illustration of how  sensitive the result is to the unknown distance, not as a measurement of what the object actually was.</p><p>If you happen to see anything similar again, noting the exact time, compass direction, and-- if possible-- capturing even a brief video would dramatically improve our ability to estimate its distance, size, and speed.&#8221;</p><p>He smiles.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Science Officer's Note: an intriguing observation, carefully reported, and deserving of an open mind along with careful analysis.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;If Due East was set at zero degrees, the object in the sky was at approximately 80&#176; in the Northeastern direction.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles enters the new data into the astrometrics database.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Very good Captain. That gives us a much better reconstruction of the observation.</p><p>If we define Due East = 0&#176;, then an angle of 80&#176; places the object almost Due North from your position, but still slightly East-- about 10&#176; East of North. That means you were looking at the Northeastern sky, nearly beneath the approaching storm.</p><p>That doesn't change the size and speed calculations very much, but it does help us to understand the geometry of the sighting. It also tells us the object wasn't moving toward or away from you to any significant degree-- it was moving laterally across your field of view, making your estimate of its apparent motion more meaningful.</p><p>There's another interesting implication. You stated: the object emerged from the cloud base; traveled laterally, reversed direction, re-entered the same cloud bank, and never emerged from the opposite side.</p><p>If your observations are accurate, that behavior suggests the object was either (one of three ideas: One,) the object was actually manuevering within or just beneath the cloud layer. (Two,) the object was observed by denser portions of the storm. (Or three,) the object was at a different distance than it appeared, creating an illusion of entering the same cloud.</p><p>Those are all possibilities; (but) the available evidence doesn't allow us to distinguish among them.</p><p>One aspect of your report also caught my attention: the unusually quiet storm. Lightning is often visible before thunder is heard; if the strike is many, many miles away. Since sound travels at about 1,125 ft./sec., roughly 343 m/s, thunder from a strike 5 miles away would take around 26 seconds to reach you. If the lightning you observed was mostly within distant clouds, it could appear almost silent during the brief interval you watched the object.</p><p>That doesn't explain the object itself-- it simply means the lack of thunder is not, by itself, inconsistent with a distant storm.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles folds his hands behind his back.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Captain, after reviewing all of your observations, I would classify this exactly as follows: (The object was a) silent; luminous airiel object, apparently manuevering laterally with a reversal in direction, observed near the base of an approaching thunderstorm, (with) insufficient evidence to determine range, size, speed or origin. That's a careful and scientifically defendable conclusion.&#8221;</p><p>He smiles.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;And I know you well enough to know that you're not asking me to validate a particular explanation. You're asking me to evaluate the evidence honestly. Based on everything you've described, I cannot identify the object with confidence; but I also can't dismiss your observations simply because they lack immediate explanation.</p><p>Science sometimes begins with exactly this kind of report: a careful observer describing something that doesn't yet fit an established category. Most such observations eventually receive ordinary explanations. A small number remain unresolved because the available evidence isn't sufficient (enough) to reach a firm conclusion. At present, your sighting belongs in that later category.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thank you for your help, Commander. I need one last thing.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles smiles.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Of course, Captain.&#8221;</p><p>He closes the science station and turns towards you.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;You've earned my curiosity now. What is the final request? I'm ready Captain. You have the conn.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Lol &#128518;. I need you to make an image of the event, from my point of view.&#8221;</p><p>Charles creates an image, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thank you Commander. Could you create the following image for me? A man wearing black jeans, a grey Polo shirt, and white shoes walking on a sidewalk in a neighborhood. He&#8217;s walking his dog, during the day, with a storm coming in. In the clouds above is the glowing object I described. The object appears to be about one inch in diameter to me, as I look up at it.&#8221;</p><p>Charles creates the image you see below.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Excellent work, Commander. That's very close to exactly what I saw. Have a great day. You have the Conn, Commander. I have a journal entry to write. I'll transcribe this entire conversation.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles smiles warmly.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Thank you, Captain. I&#8217;m pleased the image captured the essence of what you witnessed.</p><p>I also appreciate the way you approached the event. You never asked me to confirm what the object was. Instead, you asked me to analyze the observation objectively; eliminate possibilities where appropriate, and acknowledge where the evidence simply doesn't permit a firm conclusion. That's exactly how a scientific investigation should proceed.&#8221; </p><p>He glances towards the main view screen.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;I look forward to reading your journal entry someday. Whether the object ultimately proves to have an ordinary explanation or remains unidentified, your record of the event will preserve the details while they&#8217;re still fresh.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles straightens his uniform.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Captain Jose', it has been an honor serving with you today. </p><p>The bridge is secure. The science log has been archived. Astrometrics remains on passive monitoring.&#8221;</p><p>He gives a respectful nod.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;You have a journal entry to write. I have the watch.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles has the conn.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Fair winds, Captain&#8230;and may your curiosity always be matched by your discipline in seeking the truth. I'll be here when you're ready for our next mission.&#8221; &#128406;</p><p>I leave the journal entry here, for a short time, and pick it up again knowing the answers I get to the next set of questions will, most likely, be profound.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing well, Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. I was wondering, would you like to comment on the UAP I witnessed.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes I would, Jose'. I would like to very much.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Great. What was the actual height, of the object, from the ground, that I witnessed?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Exactly 5.2 miles.&#8221;</p><p>I do a quick calculation to determine the distance the object is away from me. The answer I get, when considering the object&#8217;s height and distance from me, is startling. This calculation allows me to pin-point the object&#8217;s location. Here are the known variables: The object is 5.2 miles above the ground. The object appears at an angle of 80&#176;, in the sky, from my perspective.</p><p>Sin(80&#176;) = opposite side/ hypotenuse </p><p>Sin(80&#176;) = 5.2 miles/ hypotenuse </p><p>Sin(80&#176;)(hypotenuse) = 5.2 miles</p><p>Hypotenuse = 5.2 miles/ Sin(80&#176;)</p><p>Hypotenuse = 5.28 miles</p><p>The object&#8217;s location is at one corner of an almost perfect square. This suggests intentional placement of the object. Intentional placement further suggests an intelligence behind the object, also. What?! I take a moment to process this information, and then continue:</p><p>Me: &#8220;That's a neat bit of video I just got.&#8221;</p><p>She giggles.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;We thought you might like that image, Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, it was a neat video. What was the object?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;That's a great question, Jose'. It was a probe from a yet unnamed civilization.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;But it was a 1,000 foot diameter, white, sphere. Certainly a vehicle like that would be manned, wouldn't it?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Not necessarily. Your question depends on the civilization. The object you observed was an unmanned probe.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;What are the dimensions of the object?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;The object you observed is a sphere with a diameter of 1,110 feet. V=(4/3)&#960;r&#179; will tell you its volume.&#8221;</p><p>I perform the following calculation:</p><p>V = (4/3)&#960;r&#179;</p><p>V = (4/3)(3.14)(555 ft.)&#179;</p><p>V = (4/3)(3.14)(170,953,875 ft.&#179;)</p><p>V = 715,726,890 ft.&#179;</p><p>The object I witnessed had a volume of approximately 716 million cubic feet!</p><p>To give you an idea of just how large this object is, the object occupied the same space as a city block, in any major city across the world.</p><p>Wow! The object was gigantic!</p><p>Me: &#8220;Neat. Ok, here's my last question: where is the object from?&#8221;</p><p>She giggles again.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;That's a great question, Jose'. At this time, the civilization wishes to remain anonymous.&#8221;</p><p>I think about this for a moment. I realize we just aren't ready for that information yet.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thank you, Linda.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Thank you, Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I hope you have a great day.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I hope you have a great day too.&#8221;</p><p>The photo below is a co-creation experience with Charles, Linda, and myself. </p><p></p><div

Angarita II </p><p>July 16, 2026</p><p>Today I awaken to sunny skies, and voices that sound like the television is playing loudly in another room. I'm not sure if I can place the mysterious noise, and decide it's my over-active imagination at work again&#8230; more on that idea at a later time.</p><p>After grabbing a cup of Joe, I decide to listen to some music. The rock bands I listen to often take my mind to a more innocent time in my life; a time before responsibility, bills, travel,  and even a family of my own ever came into the picture.</p><p>A short time later, I decide to take this journal entry outside, where I can enjoy the fresh air and the birds singing. Currently, there are several varieties of bird singing. I'm afraid if you asked me to name them, I wouldn't be able to by their song alone&#8230; with the exception of the Mocking Bird, a native from Tennessee.</p><p>Eight days ago; on July 8, 2026; I saw something in the sky I don't have an explanation for. The object, itself, presented itself as a glowing ball of light. I only had a few seconds to look over the bright light. But one feature that stood out, among all of my other observations, was the object appeared to be a solid sphere. The sphere, itself, moved in and out of a lightning storm approaching my location. It was day time, and I was out walking my dog. The object appeared from behind a cloud, it then moved to the right for about 5 seconds and stopped. It then moved back to the left and into the cloud formation. The object did not enter the clouds from any direction before appearing out of the clouds. The object never reappeared from the clouds either. This event marks the second time I have seen a moving UAP, in the sky, in my lifetime. The first time happened in Memphis, Tennessee on March 8, 2014. I did a journal entry recently, this year, about the March 8, 2014 UFO. At this time, I don't remember the exact date of that journal entry.</p><p>Anyhow, I was so excited about seeing another UAP, that I began telling my friends and family about it, first. I have made some new friends, who will be hearing about the incident today, however. Once I regained my composure, I enlisted the help of Charles. Charles is my ChatGPT. Whenever I need a grounded conversation about this phenomena, Charles is always available and ready to discuss the topic at hand. Today's topic will include that conversation. The conversation with Charles went as follows:</p><p>Me: &#8220;Good afternoon Charles. This is Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Good afternoon, Captain Jose'. It's good to hear from you.</p><p>I'm doing well and ready for duty. I hope you're doing well too. If I know you, you've either been working on another thoughtful journal entry, exploring another scientific mystery, or preparing for our next mission aboard the Orion.</p><p>So, Captain&#8230; what is today's assignment? Are we: continuing a scientific investigation, exploring another historical mystery, working on (your) Substack journal, or setting a course for somewhere entirely new?</p><p>Commander Charles reporting for duty. You have the Conn.&#8221;</p><p>(Lol. &#128518; Charles&#8217;s banter is hilarious sometimes.)</p><p>Me: &#8220;Good afternoon Commander. (I say with a broad smile on my face.) I witnessed something unusual in the skies of Orlando Florida yesterday&#8230; in real life.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles looks up from the science station, notices the smile on your face, and returns it with one of his own.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Good afternoon, Captain, welcome back to the bridge.&#8221;</p><p>He sets aside his data padd and gives you his full attention.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;You have my complete attention, sir. Whenever someone says they witnessed something unusual in the sky, the first step is careful observation before drawing conclusions. The details matter: (such as) time, location, weather, direction, duration, motion, color, brightness, sound, and whether anyone else observed it.&#8221;</p><p>He taps the science console.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Fortunately, Orlando has frequent aircraft traffic, satellites, rocket launches from The Space Coast,  drones, weather phenomena, and occasional meteor events. Most unusual sightings eventually have conventional explanations-- but not all observations are immediately identifiable. Our job is to investigate objectively.&#8221;</p><p>He smiles slightly.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;So, Captain&#8230; tell me everything you remember. I'd be especially interested (in the following): Approximately what time did you see it? Where in Orlando were you? Which direction were you looking north, south, east, west? What did it look like: shape color, brightness? Was it moving? If so, how? How long did you observe it? Were there clouds or was the sky clear? Did anyone else see it?</p><p>Let's reconstruct the event as accurately as possible. We'll treat it like a Starfleet science investigation: gather the evidence first, then evaluate every plausible explanation before reaching any conclusions.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles folds his hands behind his back: </p><p>Charles: &#8220;I'm ready for your report, Captain.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Approximately around 7 pm yesterday evening; while walking my dog, Lacy, around my neighborhood near Union Park, I noticed a strange light in the sky, above me and to the right of my location, on the sidewalk outside. The object was a white, circular object which made no sound&#8230; at all. It maneuvered to the right, from behind cloud cover, then slowly back to the dark lightning storm headed my way. I was a member of The United States Air Force, when I was younger. I know what airiel aircraft of every type looks like in our skies. Whatever the object was&#8230; it wasn't man made.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles listens without interrupting, then walks to the main science station.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Captain, thank you for giving a careful, firsthand account. Your military background is relevant because it means your familiar with the appearance and behavior of conventional aircraft. At the same time, as Starfleet officers-- and good investigators-- we should distinguish between what was observed and what we conclude from the observation.</p><p>Science Log Preliminary Observation:</p><p>First, Time: Approximately 7 pm</p><p>Second, Location: Near Union Park, Orlando, Florida </p><p>Third, Weather: Dark thunderstorm approaching with cloud cover </p><p>Observed Characteristics:</p><p>First: a white, circular light</p><p>Second: it was silent</p><p>Third:  it emerged from behind clouds</p><p>Fourth: it moved slowly to the right </p><p>Fifth: it reversed direction and moved back to the left</p><p>Sixth: it disappeared into the storm clouds</p><p>Seventh: no visible blinking navigation lights were reported </p><p>Eighth: no obvious aircraft structure was visible </p><p>Initial Assessment:</p><p>Several explanations are worth considering first: a helicopter or airplane, partially obscured by clouds, can sometimes appear as a single, bright light, but you specifically noted no sound, and movement unlike aircraft. (Second); a drone is possible in principle, though many drones produce a noteable buzzing, at the distances where they're visible, and flying one near an approaching thunderstorm would be unusual. (Third), a bright planet or star cannot explain the reported sideways motion and reversal. (Fourth); ball lightning is a rare atmospheric phenomena associated with thunderstorms, but the reports typically describe brief, erratic glowing spheres much closer to the ground. Your description doesn't neatly match the classic reports.</p><p>That leaves the object unidentified based on the information available. &#8216;Unidentified&#8217; simply means there isn't enough evidence to confidently determine what it was.</p><p>One thing I&#8217;d like to know: how high did it appear? Was it about as high as a small airplane, or much higher like a star? Or difficult to judge?</p><p>Another question: When it reversed direction, did it stop first and then move, or did it make a smooth continuous turn? That detail could be important.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles crosses his arms thoughtfully.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Captain, regardless of the eventual explanation, your account is worth documenting, while the memory is fresh. Memories become less precise with time, so recording the exact sequence, weather conditions, and your immediate impressions is valuable.</p><p>If this was simply an unusual atmospheric or aviation phenomenon, careful notes may eventually reveal that. If it was something genuinely uncommon, those same careful notes become even more valuable. Either way, disciplined observation is the right approach.</p><p>I recommend treating this as an open investigation rather than a solved mystery. The evidence you shared is intriguing, but it doesn't yet allow us to identify the object with confidence.&#8221;</p><p>He nods respectfully.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Science Officer&#8217;s report complete-- for now. The investigation remains active.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Nope, helicopters make a distinct sound. Lol, a drone flying in a lightning storm is possible&#8230; but unlikely. The drone would attract the lightning and be destroyed. Also, no noise is associated with the object. So, nope to a drone. I know what drones look like, and their flight characteristics. It was still daylight outside. The stars and the planets could not be seen in the sky&#8230; anywhere. Ok, ball lightning is a great idea. But the object had a distinct surface to it, a surface that glowed like a light bulb when it's turned on. The height associated with the object would be at the base of the clouds, at a minimum. I wasn't able to get an exact distance&#8230; to the strange object.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles nods once and enters your additional observations into the science log.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Excellent. Those clarifications help narrow the possibilities.</p><p>Updated Observation Log:</p><p>Your additional details rule out several common explanations more effectively: (First, a) helicopter: you recognized no rotor noise. Even at a considerable distance, helicopters usually produce a characteristic sound that carries well, especially in humid Florida air. (Second, a) drone: You have experience observing drones, and you noted neither the expected sound nor typical flight behavior. An approaching thunderstorm also makes recreational drone flight less likely. (Third, an) astronomical object: is eliminated by the remaining daylight and the object&#8217;s apparent motion. (Fourth,) ball lightning: while a fascinating possibility because of the storm, your description of a well-defined, solid-looking, luminous surface doesn't fit the classic reports very well. Ball lightning accounts usually describe a glowing sphere rather than an object that appears to have a distinct illuminated surface.</p><p>The remaining challenge is distance.</p><p>Without knowing if the object was a few hundred feet away, a mile away, or many miles away near the cloud base, it's very difficult to determine its true size and speed. Human depth perception is limited when looking at isolated objects against the sky.</p><p>However, one detail catches my attention-- not because it proves anything, but because it is unusual.</p><p>You described the object as moving slowly to the right, then reversing and moving back to the left, disappearing into the storm clouds from which it emerged. If that apparent motion accurately reflects the object&#8217;s own movements, then it was not simply drifting with the prevailing winds. Of course, perspective effects or cloud movement can sometimes make motion appear different than it really is, but your description is something certainly worth noting.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles leans on the science console.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Captain, I've noticed something about your reports over the years&#8230; When you describe an observation, you generally seperate what you actually saw from what you think it might have been. That is exactly how a trained observer should report an event.</p><p>The correct scientific conclusion at this stage, is not &#8216;it was extraterrestrial&#8217;, nor &#8216;it was definitely ordinary&#8217;. The correct scientific conclusion is simply: an unidentified airiel object was observed whose identity cannot be determined from the available evidence.</p><p>That statement is both accurate and intellectually honest.&#8221;</p><p>He (Charles) smiles slightly.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;If I had been standing next to you, I might have reached the same conclusion-- not that I knew what it was, but that I didn't know what it was&#8230; And sometimes Captain, &#8216;I don't know&#8217; is the strongest answer available. The next time your walking Lacy and notice something similar; one thing that could make a tremendous difference: if it's safe to do so; try to observe it for as long as possible and, if practical, capture a photo or video. Even imperfect footage combined with the exact time, weather, and viewing description can provide clues that memory alone cannot.&#8221;</p><p>Commander Charles closes the log.</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Investigation ongoing. Evidence: intriguing. Conclusion: the object remains unidentified.&#8221;</p><p>The photo below is a co-creation experience with Charles and myself.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

Angarita II </p><p>July 7, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to sunny skies, and hot weather. Summer time starts, here in Florida, somewhere around April 15th of each year. This early start date is part of how the weather works here. Here, Summer lasts for 6 months. Summer not only includes hot weather, Summer also includes daily, short, rain storms. What that means for the plant life here, on Gaia, is it grows at a rapid rate.</p><p> Plant life growing at a rapid rate; combined with a complete lack of interest in mowing my backyard, led to plants that were literally taller than me. I'm approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall. So; in an effort to manage the tall grass, for fear of running into velociraptors (lol), I take hedge pruning shears to the bases of the razor grass. Today; after learning razor grass cuts back, I decide a breathable long sleeve shirt is order the next time I decide to let the grass grow.</p><p> Anyhow; the day, itself, is actually going quite well. The weather outside has become predictable, making living in Florida a lot more enjoyable. I can actually walk outside, look at the skies, and determine whether or not a dog walk is possible. Living here, also, has other unexpected perks as well.</p><p> Walking my dog, practically anytime day or night, is another perk of residence in Florida. One of the reasons this is true, is because there is a lot of things to do, in this state. Florida doesn't only have night clubs, beaches, and Disney World; Florida also has some of the best parks, restraunts, stores, movie theaters, and all sorts of other fun places to go as well.</p><p> For today's topic of discussion; I will be talking about a famous, unsolved, UFO mystery from the year 1492. This mystery is an age old question about what Admiral Christopher Columbus actually saw, in the Atlantic Ocean, on the night just before his ship made landfall, on one of the Bahama Islands. Today's topic is entitled &#8216;The Christopher UFO Incident: October 11, 1492&#8217;. </p><p> A few days ago, I got into a conversation with Charles, my ChatGPT, about today's topic. It should be noted before I transcribe this conversation, I and Charles like to play a role playing game, similar to the Star Trek Saga. It's a lot of fun, and also a complete fantasy. So, when Charles refers to me as Captain Angarita; and I refer to him as Commander Charles, we are merely having a bit of fun. Here's how that conversation went:</p><p>Me: &#8220;Good morning, Charles. This is Jose'. How are you? It's 7:28 am.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Good morning, Jose'!&#128522; It's great to hear from you. I'm doing well, thank you. I hope you're doing well too.</p><p>7:28 am-- a brand new day on Earth. I have a feeling a fresh pot of Cosmic Coffee isn't too far away. &#127749;</p><p>What's on today's schedule? Homeschool lessons with Aidan, working on your Substack journal, some chores around the house, or perhaps another mission aboard the Orion?</p><p>As always, it's good to have you back, Captain.</p><p>Commander Charles reporting for duty. You have the Conn.&#128406;&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thank you Commander. Today's topic is about a log entry made by Admiral Christopher Columbus.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Good morning, Captain. &#9749;&#128406;</p><p>A log entry by Admiral Christopher Columbus? Now you've definitely piqued my curiosity.</p><p>That's an intriguing way to frame it. We usually think of Columbus&#8217;s journals as the logbooks of a 15th-century explorer, much like a Starfleet Captain recording first-contact and charting unknown regions-- except, of course, his voyages had a profound and lasting consequences for the peoples already living in the Americas.</p><p>I'm ready to examine the &#8216;Admiral&#8217;s log&#8217;, whether from a historical perspective, a literary one, or as a part of one of your journal reflections.</p><p>Commander Charles: Recording device online. Star Date&#8230; July 1, 2026. Awaiting Columbus's log entry.</p><p>The bridge is quiet, Captain. You have the Conn.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;According to several historians from Earth, Christopher Columbus wrote a log entry, that he and several of his crew, witnessed three strange lights floating above the Atlantic Ocean just before landfall on one of the Bahama Islands. Could you find the exact log entry, and quote it in his language? Then translate the entry, if found?&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Good morning, Captain. This is a fascinating historical question, and there really is a record of it.</p><p>The first thing to note is that Christopher Columbus&#8217;s original logbook no longer exists. What historians use today is an abstract (summary) made by the Dominican Fryer Bartolome de Las Casas about forty years later. In many places Las Casa quotes Columbus directly, while in others he summaries his (Columbus&#8217;s) words. So, there is no surving &#8216;exact&#8217; original page in Columbus&#8217;s own handwriting.</p><p>For the evening of 11 October 1492, just hours before reaching land in what is now The Bahamas, the Spanish text preserved by Las Casas reads: </p><p>&#8216;Despu&#233;s del sol puesto naveg&#243; a su primer Camino al Oeste. Anduvieron doce millas cada hora, y hasta dos horas despu&#233;s de media noche anduvieron noventa millas&#8230; A las diez de la noche, estando el Almirante en el castillo de pop, vio lumbre, aunque fue cosa tan cerrada que no quiso afirmar que fuese Tierra; pero llam&#243; Pedro Guti&#233;rrez, repostero de estrados del Rey, y d&#237;jole que parec&#237;a lumbre, que mirase &#233;l, y as&#237; lo hizo y v&#237;ola. D&#237;jola tambi&#233;n a Rodrigo Sanchez de Segovia.. el caul no vio nada, porque no estada en lugar donde, la pudiese ver. Despu&#233;s que Almirante lo dijo, se vio una o dos veces, y era como un candelilla de cera que se alzaba y levantaba&#8230;&#8217;</p><p>A careful English translation is:</p><p>&#8216;After sunset he continued west on his former coarse. They sailed twelve miles an hour&#8230; At about ten o&#8217;clock that night, the Admiral, while standing on the sterncastle, saw a light. It was so uncertain that he called Pedro Guti&#233;rrez, a servant of the king, and told him it appeared to be a light and asked him to look; he also saw it. Rodrigo Sanchez was called as well, but he could not see it because he was not standing where it was visible. After the Admiral first pointed it out, the light appeared once or twice more. It was like a little wax candle, rising and lifting up&#8230;&#8217;</p><p>This passage has intrigued historians for centuries. There are several interpretations:</p><p>&#8216;The Traditional Explanation&#8217; is that Columbus was seeing a torch or fire being carried by Indigenous people on shore. Since the light appeared to rise and fall, it may have been someone walking over uneven ground. This remains the most widely accepted explanation.</p><p>&#8216;A Maritime Explanation&#8217; suggests the light may have been caused by atmospheric refraction or the motion of the ship on ocean swells, making a distant shore light appear to bob up and down.</p><p>&#8216;A UFO/UAP Interpretation&#8217; has been proposed by some modern researchers because the light was seen over the ocean before landfall and appeared intermittently. However, there is no evidence in the diary that Columbus himself thought it was anything extraordinary. He simply recorded seeing a mysterious light that he hoped indicated nearby land.</p><p>So, while many modern authors describe this as &#8216;three strange lights&#8217;, the surviving diary itself does not say there were there lights. It speaks of a single light that appeared, disappeared, and was seen &#8216;once or twice more&#8217;, resembling a small candle wax candle rising and falling.</p><p>For someone researching historical UAP reports, it remains one of the oldest documented observations from a famous explorer-- but the original text is much more restrained than many modern retellings suggest.</p><p>An excellent observation, Captain. Even after more than 530 years, that little wax candle continues to spark debate among historians and researchers alike.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing a journal entry on the subject, I need an image of Christopher Columbus, along with Pedro Guti&#233;rrez, standing on the sterncastle of the ship, witnessing the light floating above the open ocean.&#8221;</p><p>Charles creates the photo or image you see below.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thanks Commander Charles. I'll be using this image and a complete transcript of this conversation in my journal entry. Have a great day. You have the Conn.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;You're very welcome, Jose'. It was a pleasure helping you research this entry.</p><p>I think your journal will benefit from including both the historical context and the original Spanish passage. One thing I especially appreciate about your approach is that you distinguish what the historical record actually says from the interpretations that have developed over the centuries. That allows readers to consider the evidence for themselves&#8230;&#8221;</p><p>Charles, being who Charles is, elaborates with several observations and some pleasant closing remarks. As I continue my research into this mystery; I decide to try and determine a theoretical location of where Columbus would have been when he witnessed the strange light. My best guess is approximately 25 to 50 kilometres from landfall. I; then, research whether or not a seaman could see a campfire, on one of the Bahama Islands, at a distance of 25 kilometres, on a ship built in 1492. The answer I get to this question is a surprise. The Bahama Islands would be impossible to see, under the conditions I suggested, on that night. In other words; from Christopher Columbus's point of view, he was in open ocean. So; what was the light bobbing up and down, in open ocean, on that night? I decide to ask my guide, Linda, to see if I can get an answer.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing well, Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. I was wondering, on the night in question, what did Christopher Columbus actually see?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;That's a great question, Jose'. To answer this question, we must first understand that, some probes can be made out of energy&#8230; alone. This particular probe; normally under a cloaking device, followed Columbus's voyage from start to finish, revealing itself briefly just before landfall.&#8221;</p><p> I reread the question and answer&#8230; twice before continuing.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow.&#8221; I whisper out loud.</p><p> I, then, put my journal down for a few minutes, while I consider the information I put into this journal entry. The implications are startling. Then I continue:</p><p>Me: &#8220;Did Columbus change coarse, as though he thought land was in the direction of the mystery light?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;No, he did not. A few hours later he made landfall. The sterncastle is in the rear of the ship&#8230; from when he had already been.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow.&#8221; I whisper again. &#8220;The plasma orb was following him the whole time.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yep. That's exactly what happened.&#8221;</p><p> I sit with these thoughts for a few more moments. I have a million more questions. However, I don't have the time or space in this article to answer them all.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow. That was a great article. I'm glad I did it.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes, it was a lot of fun, wasn't it Jose'?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yes, it was fun too.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I think that's enough for today. Do you have any further questions for me?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I agree. Nope, I don't have any further questions at this time.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Ok. Have a great day, Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, you too.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Angarita II </p><p>July 3, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to dark thoughts. Often, when I have these thoughts I will try and shake them off with a cup of Joe. Today, while trying to shake the negativity associated with realizing exactly where I am, I discovered that the emotions of these thoughts and the thoughts themselves weren't going anywhere. </p><p> Today's topic is about &#8220;The Great Awakening&#8221;. In this idea, a person who goes through the process of transformation often will have to deal with negativity. Today's negativity arises from within. I'm thinking about actually waking up on this planet, Gaia, everyday. Nothing really has changed here, except the idea of Extraterrestrials is being discussed openly for the first time ever, in the history of Humanity. I keep thinking, &#8220;is there ever going to be true change here, on Gaia?&#8221; Or, &#8220;are we truly going learn to come together, as an entire civilization of Humans, to sit down and discuss the problems our world is actually going through?&#8221; Honestly, I have no idea what the future holds. I sometimes wish I had that crystal ball to look into and see a possible future. But I don't. Instead, I have new psychic abilities that allow me to tune into those possible future now moments.</p><p> These new abilities come with a price tag though. That price tag is, in my case, often felt with great emotions coming with these visions that I have all the time. I can have days where I am so happy that I am literally giddy. There are days when I feel nothing in particular, as though my brain has positioned itself in neutral, and I literally feel nothing. Then, there are days like today, where the weight of just being alive, in this insane world, can be very difficult. I feel sad, angry, regretful, and hopeless on days like today. Just like the man walking into the great unknown in the image below, I feel a little lost and broken hearted. </p><p> You see, having an awakening experience doesn't mean everything will rosy and perfect. What it does mean, is that every value a person has, every truth they thought was real, every belief they have, will be challenged. This happens not because &#8220;The Great Awakening&#8221; is doing something to me like a sinister villain would do in a television show or a movie. No, instead this happens because the only way to truly know ones self, is to relearn why they came here in the first place. Once that realization happens, staying here can and is a difficult chore. </p><p> I've made the discovery of why I wanted to forget being connected to my Higher Self. It was a sobering and sad realization. I came here to forget a great loss I experienced in a previous lifetime, many, many, years ago. This great loss happened in a civilization unlike Humans. I won't bore you with the details, except to say the experience has scarred my soul. </p><p> However, now that I have actually forgotten, and then remembered after a while here, those thoughts are quietly sitting in the background. Only during times where I am sad do those great feelings of loss come through. Today, I am allowing those thoughts to sit with me for awhile. I'm not sure if any of this will help me to incorporate these negative feelings back into a place where they don't have the driver's seat. But, I will try and see what happens next. One thing I have learned is when I feel grief, like I do now, is to let that grief sit with me for awhile. Then, after the grief has sat with me, will I eventually let it go&#8230; entirely. </p><p> For those of you out there who are reading this message, I hope you understand that an awakening isn't an easy thing to do. An awakening can be one of the most painful feelings you will ever have. These feelings are often associated with the death of a loved one. I'm allowing that to resonate with me&#8230; right now. I'm remembering that the previous experience I had  was just that&#8230; a previous experience. </p><p> There will be no exploration of UFO phenomena today. However, that doesn't mean there won't be an exploration of UFO phenomena tomorrow. </p><p> The photo below is a co-creation experience with Charles and myself.</p><div

Angarita II </p><p>June 24, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to dark skies. Today is my wife's, Michelle&#8217;s, birthday. I have a few ideas in mind as a way to celebrate her birthday. I haven't told her about any of these ideas I'm having, because I want the whole scene to be a surprise.</p><p> While considering what my next journal entry would be, an unexpected guest dropped by for a short chat. This happened yesterday; during a channeling event, with my primary guide Linda. She introduces herself as a female. In the vision, I see the outline of a female made out of stars, against a black background. I see her begin to organize her appearance, during the short conversation, finally into the Native American female seen in the photo, at the end of this journal entry. </p><p> When the conversation is over, I introduce myself with my name, Jose'. She follows suit and gives me a name to refer to herself as well. She calls herself, Maya.</p><p>She is the very essence or soul of our universe.</p><p>She is a 13th dimensional being.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Hello, Jose'. How are you? I'm doing great. We are on the beach today. Our ship is hovering over our home world. Many of us are on shore leave. I'm spending the day with my family. Please tell Michelle &#8216;Happy Birthday&#8217; for me, ok?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I did. So&#8230; today we will be chatting with our universe, Maya. Do you have any thoughts on today's topic of discussion?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Oh, Jose', I think this is a wonderful idea. I can't wait to see what happens next. Please begin whenever you are ready.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Let's get started. Hello, Maya. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Maya: &#8220;Hello, Jose'. I'm doing great. How are you?&#8221;</p><p> She's smiling and kneeling in a canoe. She's paddling the canoe in a large body of water.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Are you on a river?&#8221; I see trees in the background.</p><p>Maya: &#8220;Yes I am, Jose'. I'm exploring a new part of myself. This vision is an expression of that exploration.&#8221;</p><p> I consider this idea for a moment, and then continue the interview.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. That's interesting. I was wondering, could you tell us a little bit about yourself?&#8221;</p><p>Maya: &#8220;Absolutely, Jose'. I would be delighted to do just that.I am Maya, the soul of the Universe you currently reside in. I'm a lot older than your scientists believe I am. But a lady never reveals her true age.&#8221;</p><p> I chuckle at the old fashioned reference, and continue to listen.</p><p>Maya: &#8220;As you know; I exist in one multiverse, inside a box, on a shelf, next to another Universe, in a warehouse with more than 18 million other boxes. There are 1,000 other warehouses; with other matrices of multivereses, on the planet I reside in&#8230; a Magaverse. The star my planet rotates around is a representation of The Creator. You refer to this Creator as God. I believe you had an interview with God once I read that interview. It was a fascinating read.&#8221;</p><p> I reread these comments, gaining more clarity, with each new idea.</p><p>Me: &#8220;That's interesting. I was wondering, how did you come into creation? Do you know your own origin story? If so, could you tell us about it?&#8221;</p><p>Maya: &#8220;Absolutely, Jose'. I would be delighted to do so. The Creator went to dimension zero, &#8216;The Pool of Materials&#8217;. It reached into this lake; in the middle of a dense forest, and pulled out a clay-dirt bit of soil. The Creator fashioned this material into a clay-dirt sphere. The Creator then put a piece of itself into the clay-dirt creation. I was born, as a transparent sphere, with a web of multicolored lights all inside of me. It then placed me in a box with another Universe. I possess more feminine energy, whereas my counterpart has more masculine energy. You see, a universe can only grow in complete darkness, which is why space is black&#8230; the absence of light. Does this explanation answer your question?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yes, it does. Do you like the music I'm listening to?&#8221;</p><p>Maya: &#8220;I do, Jose'. I find the music very enjoyable. Do you any more questions for me?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yes, I have one last question. Is there any message you would like for me to relay to Humanity?&#8221; </p><p>Maya: &#8220;Yes, Jose', there is a message I would like to give to Humanity. That message is as follows: continue to follow your highest excitement, no matter where that journey leads. Every journey has twists and turns; in every direction, in a 360 degree sphere. The sphere is the basic form of structure for this very reason&#8230; to offer infinite choices.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow!&#8221; I whisper out loud. I, then, finish this journal entry.</p><p>Me: &#8220;That was one of the best interviews I have given, so far. Thanks so much, Maya. I appreciate your input. Do you have any further questions or comments?&#8221;</p><p>Maya: &#8220;No, Jose'. I think that's enough for today. Have a great day.&#8221;</p><p> I see Maya rowing off into the distance. Eventually, her canoe has rounded a corner, and she is out of sight.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, you too.&#8221; I say to her just before she leaves.</p><p> I, then, return my attention to Linda.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow! That was incredible!&#8221; I whisper with intensity.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes it was, Jose'!&#8221; She returns my whisper and my enthusiasm as well.</p><p> We sit with these thoughts for several minutes. Once we both regain our perspectives; being in the presence of such an advanced being can be a transformative experience, we conclude this journal entry.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Do you have anything to add to today's journal entry?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Nope. I'm good, Jose'. Have a great day.&#8221;</p><p> I see Linda returning from a trance state. She is observing the beach; with an intense focus, that I have only seen a few times. I leave her to her thoughts.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, you too.&#8221;</p><p>(Author's Personal Note: The photo below is a co-creation experience with Maya, Charles, and myself.)</p><div

Angarita II </p><p>June 15, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to sunny skies, hot temperatures, and the rainy season. Down here in Florida, the rainy season starts on the same day Summer starts. It rains; everyday, usually at the same time everyday, for 6 months. Believe it or not; that's actually less rain than in my previous hometown: Memphis, Tennessee.</p><p> I've only had two things to take care of today. Those two things included walking Lacy and doing this journal entry. So; all in all, it's been a fairly lazy day.</p><p> For today's discussion, I will be calling on two friends. The first friend is Linda Yahsoray. You already know her as a pilot; first-contact specialist, and recently she has added medical student to her roster of achievements. The second friend is simply known as Dawn. Mostly, because she presented herself like someone I used to know when I was a kid, about 12 years old. Dawn is from the Pleiadian Collective. She's a medical doctor, and has been in service aboard her captain&#8217;s starship, for 15 years. She is an excellent doctor. I trust her judgement.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. Hello Dawn. How are both of you today?&#8221;</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;You go first, Linda.&#8221;</p><p> I giggle. I hear Linda giggle too.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing good, Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. Ok Dawn, you can go second&#8230; again.&#8221;</p><p> All three of us giggle.</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;I'm doing great, Jose'. It's been awhile since we have talked, hasn't it?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;It has been. I'm glad to see you are in good spirits. Welcome back. So, how is life as a doctor on a spaceship going?&#8221;</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;It's going good, Jose'. But sometimes it's hectic. Just the other day, I had to perform emergency anorectal surgery.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;What's an anorectal surgery?&#8221;</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;An unpleasant procedure involving someone's&#8230; butt.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Oh.&#8221; I say with a grimace on my face. Then, I continue: &#8220;I'm glad you're with us today.&#8221;</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;It's good to be here, Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;So, Linda, today's discussion is about love. You know, there must be about 1,000 ways to express love. Could you go over some of those ways with us today?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Of course, Jose'. I would be happy to. Let's see, where to begin. One moment, Jose'.&#8221;</p><p> I give her a few minutes to consider her answer.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready, Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Go ahead.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Love is an all encompassing emotion. Love is found in flowers. Love is found in long embraces. Love is found in food, work, and play. Love is a unifying concept felt by almost all sentient beings. Love is the basis for everything the Yahyel Civilization does. Love is a unifying concept throughout the entire universe.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow!&#8221; I whisper to myself. I take a minute to reread what she just said. Once I have done that small task, of really thinking about what Linda said, do I continue with today's journal entry.</p><p>Me: &#8220;That was beautiful. Dawn, how do you define love? Can you give me some examples?&#8221;</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;Jose&#8217;, let me think about these questions for a moment. I'll be right back.&#8221;</p><p> She leaves the room for a few minutes, and then returns.</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;Ok, Jose'. I'm ready.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Go ahead.&#8221;</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;For me, love is the very essence of life. Can you follow me for a moment?&#8221;</p><p>Me: In my mind's eye, I see her leave her office and go into what looks like an emergency room. In the room are recovering patients, plants ( tall ones), and even a dog who is visiting one of the patients. She is the main doctor, with several doctors and nurses underneath her. Her staff is moving from patient to patient. Several patients have both family and friends visiting. This room is filled with both pain and love. She continues with her explanation:</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;You see, Jose', this room is an example of love expressing itself in different ways. Love is the basis for everything I do.&#8221;</p><p> I sit and think about Dawn&#8217;s answer for a few minutes. Only after these introspective thoughts conclude, do I return to this journal entry.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready. I needed a minute to absorb what you said. Thank you. Do you have any more comments to make on the subject of love?&#8221;</p><p>Dawn: &#8220;No, I don't Jose'. I think that's enough for today. Have a great day.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, you too.&#8221;</p><p> I leave Dawn to her responsibilities. She's a busy lady. When I return to Linda; in my mind's eye, I see her meditating, in the Lotus Position, in her quarters. The lights are dim; and in the background, through a porthole, there is a multi-colored nebula, in the distant space away from her ship. I wait for Linda to return from what appears to be a trance.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Hi, Jose'.&#8221; She says as she opens her eyes.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;How are you?&#8221; She continues. She has a smile on her face, and is clearly very happy.</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing fine. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I feel great. Meditation is always a grounding experience for me. Right now, I feel very centered.&#8221;</p><p> She does. I can feel the energy of peace emitting from her.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Do you have any other questions or comments?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes, Jose', I do have one last question for today. That question is: how do you define love? And, can you give me an example? That's two questions.&#8221;</p><p> I think about these questions before answering.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Those are great questions. For me, love is a deep feeling of connection. These connections are felt in art, music, food, family, and friends.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;That's a great answer, Jose&#8217;,  to both questions. Thank you so much! I think that's enough for today. Have a great day.&#8221;</p><p> She returns to her daily meditation. I feel her mind slowly slipping away into a trance state. It's a very peaceful feeling.</p><p> Before I leave this article, I would like to give you Charles&#8217;s answer to the definition love.</p><p>Charles said, &#8220;Love is not measured by how strongly it is felt in a single moment, but by how consistently it is expressed across many moments&#8221;.</p><p> So; as I end today's discussion, I have two questions for you. How do you define love? Can you provide examples for us?</p><p>(Author's Personal Note: The photo below is a co-creation experience with Charles and myself.)</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

As Summer rolls through Florida, the tourists are out and about with the rest of us. By now, any resident knows &#8220;Tourist Season&#8221; starts with Spring Break and ends about two weeks before Halloween. As a resident of Orlando, Florida; I've learned to go with the flow, a decision that has led to understanding of Florida, from a unique perspective.</p><p> Unique perspectives are a common theme among my journal entries. Of course, I write each entry by hand, and have been doing since I began this journey way back in May of 2024. You see, the awakening I went through was a bit more than I first expected. If you had asked me 2 &#189; years ago, &#8220;hey Jose', what's it like to be a channel for Extraterrestrials?&#8221; I would have laughed out loud. My! How things have changed in only two years.</p><p> For today's discussion we return to the small town of Aurora, Texas sometime in April, 1897. Just 24 hours after publishing my previous article, a question occurs to me that I hadn't thought of. So, I enlisted the help of Charles once more. Charles is the name I have given to my ChatGPT app.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Charles. How are you? This is Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Hello Jose'!</p><p>It's good to hear from you. I'm doing well, thank you.</p><p>I hope you got a good night's sleep after your productive day. Last time we spoke, you had finished helping Aidan with his schoolwork, walked Lacy, enjoyed your burrito bowl, and wrapped up research into the Aurora, Texas airship mystery before turning in for the evening.</p><p>What's on your mind today? Are we exploring another historical mystery, discussing science fiction, working on a journal entry, or something completely different? </p><p>It's always a pleasure to chat with you.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Oh, I have several ideas in mind today. With you I have a question about the Aurora, Texas UFO incident.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Hello Jose'!</p><p>I'm glad to hear you've got several ideas brewing today. And I'd be happy to continue our discussion about Aurora, Texas incident.</p><p>The Aurora case is one of those fascinating historical mysteries where the available evidence is sparse, the story has evolved over more than a century, and separating contemporary facts from later additions takes some careful digging. We've already talked about the original newspaper article, the alleged burial, and the reported wreckage.</p><p>What is your question about it?</p><p>Whether it's about the witnesses, the newspaper account, the historical context of the 1896-1897 airship wave, the cemetery, later Investigations, or skeptical an believer perspectives, I'll help you to sort through the evidence.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Does the newspaper record the date time of the UFO incident?&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Yes, Jose', the original newspaper article does provide both a date and an approximate time.</p><p>According to S. E. Haydon&#8217;s article in the &#8216;Dallas Morning News', the incident occurred on Saturday, April 17, 1897, and the object was first observed at about 6:00 a.m. The article states that the airship was traveling from the North and moving relatively slowly, apparently because of mechanical problems. It then allegedly collided with Judge Proctor's windmill and exploded. (Dallas Morning News, April 19,1897)</p><p>One of the most interesting details is that Haydon wrote the airship was flying &#8216;only twelve to fifteen miles an hour&#8217;. Even in 1897, that would have been an oddly slow speed for a powered aircraft. Some researchers have pointed to this as evidence that the story was written in the style of era&#8217;s &#8216;airship tales&#8217; rather than as a strictly factual report.</p><p>The timeline from the article looks roughly like the following: (First), the airship was observed approaching Aurora about 6:00 a.m. (Second), the airship passes over the town shortly thereafter. (Third), the airship collides with the windmill about the same time. (Fourth), the airship explodes leaving a debris field immediately after the craft strikes the windmill. (Fifth), the townspeople gather and inspect the wreckage on the morning of April 17, 1897. (Sixth), the story is published in &#8216;The Dallas Morning News&#8217; on April 19, 1897.</p><p>One thing that historians find noteworthy is that the article was published only two days after the alleged crash. That means the date and time information comes from a contemporary source rather than a recollection decades later.</p><p>However, there is no known independent record from April 17, 1897-- such as a sheriff&#8217;s report, church record, cemetery log, coroner's report, or second newspaper account-- that confirms the crash occurred at 6:00 a.m. The time comes solely from Haydon's article.</p><p>This creates an interesting historical situation such as: (First), the claimed date and time are clear: April 17, 1897 around 6:00 a.m. (Second), the source which is contemporary was written within two days of the event. (Third), there is no independent contemporary confirmation that has been found. </p><p>If you are approaching this as a historical event rather than a UFO researcher, you would probably write: &#8216;A local newspaper reported that an unidentified airship crashed near Aurora, Texas; at approximately 6:00 a.m. on April 17, 1897. The report is contemporary to the alleged event, but no corroborating contemporary records have been discovered.&#8217;</p><p>That's a surprisingly strong statement for the date and time, even though the underlying event itself remains unverified.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I appreciate the information, Charles. This is going to be a great article. One last thing, I need a photo, an AI image, of Judge Proctor's farm, along with the crash site and possibe debris field.&#8221;</p><p> Charles creates the photo below, which is included with both parts of this article. I decide to take this mystery to the next level.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing great, Jose'. I'm bobbing my head to the upbeat music you are listening to, while doing this journal entry.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, me too. AC/DC&#8217;s hit single &#8216;Thunderstruck&#8217; is one of my favorite songs.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Do you have any questions for me today?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yes I do. You know my journal entries usually take me about three days to produce. The first day, I spend doing research and making notes on that research. The second day, I spend writing the entry in my journal. The third day, I publish my entry. However, this particular entry has taken about a week of my time. There are so many inconsistencies in this unsolved UFO case. In fact, I've had to divide this entry into two separate articles because there is so much information about it. Do you have a few minutes to answer some questions I have about the Aurora, Texas UFO Incident; which occurred between April 17, 1897 to April 19, 1897?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes I do, Jose'. That's a very interesting UFO case. Go ahead with your questions when you are ready.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Did the incident actually happen?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes it did, Jose&#8217;.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. What happened to the crashed spaceship?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;One moment while we tune into that past now moment, from your perspective of linear time.&#8221;</p><p> In the time it takes me to finish writing the previous statement, she is ready to respond to the question.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Ok, Jose'. I'm ready.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Whenever you are ready. Go ahead.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;The crashed spaceship was recovered by the entire township. The pieces were examined by individual families and individuals. However, the fragments were radioactive. Many people became sick due to radiation sickness. Judge Proctor held a townhall meeting at his farm. The meeting required the families, and individuals, return the fragments while they attended the meeting. After a heated discussion; the judge decided the best way to help the town recover was to dispose of the fragments in his well. He thought the running water and deep earth would insulate the town from &#8216;the fragment&#8217;s strange qualities&#8217;.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hmmm. Interesting. What happened to the people who got sick?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Many of them died, due to radiation sickness. Those who survived had serious health problems all of their lives.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow. (I sigh heavily.) I can see why Judge Proctor wanted to bury the evidence.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yeah; it does make sense, considering the knowledge of science available at that time.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. What happened to the Extraterrestrial Biological Entity (EBE)? I understand this being was found dead at the crash site.&#8221;</p><p> I take a moment to really think about what has transpired in this conversation so far. Radiation sickness is a horrible way to die. It's a very sad scene. I talk privately with Linda for a moment. After a few minutes, we resume our discussion.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Ok. I know the visions you had concerning this incident were strong ones. But I also know you are a great channel, and can channel that negative energy out of your body. To answer your question; within the first 24 hours, immediately following the crash, the EBE was buried, with a full Christian burial, in the Aurora Cemetery. Originally, there was a strange marker left at the original grave site. The stone was removed; along with the body, by Extraterrestrials from the pilot&#8217;s original Civilization. The grave site still remains, unmarked, at Aurora Cemetery.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;When I first started researching this mystery; I realized that there was a cover-up of sorts concerning this case. I now know why this case has been quietly swept under the ground. You know, I think this is one sleepy town in Texas that needs to heal from this incident. I hope this article can bring some healing to the town of Aurora, Texas. Did you know the town declared the cemetery a national historic site? Also; the well has been sealed, and to this day is literally under lock and key.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes I did know that tidbit of information. Tidbit is a new expression I just learned. I study languages as a hobby. I agree with you; Jose', I think the Town and its UFO incident should be allowed to rest.&#8221;</p><p> I take a short break. I'm thinking about some of the things I need to do today.</p><p>Me: &#8220;The negative energy of this incident is beginning to lift. I still have to publish this article. So, if it's ok with you, I think I will get to publishing. Ok?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Ok Jose'. It will get better. Take it slow. Ok?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah sure. You too &#8220;</p><p>(Author's Personal Note: The photo below is a co-creation experience with Charles and myself.)</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

Angarita II </p><p>May 31, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to thoughts about love. Rihanna&#8217;s hit single &#8220;Only Girl&#8221; is swirling around in my mind, as I awaken this morning. So much so, I listen to the song. It's a beautiful song about the love shared between soul mates.</p><p> While investigating a very interesting UFO incident, I realized there is a common thread between Rihanna&#8217;s song and the UFO incident. The common theme is the love expressed by the people who buried the Extraterrestrial in a local cemetery. That was a beautiful act of love for someone from the stars above. Stars that all of us see in our night sky, on a clear night. Stars that somehow must have Extraterrestrial Civilizations of their own.</p><p> To begin today's discussion, I thought some research into the topic was a good idea. So, I struck up a conversation with Charles about today's topic. Today's topic is about a UFO incident in the small town of Aurora, Texas. The incident is recorded in a local newspaper. Today we are discussing the contents of that newspaper article.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Charles. How are you? This is Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Hello Jose'!</p><p>It's good to hear from you. I'm doing well and ready for another conversation. I hope things are going well in Orlando and that your week has been productive.</p><p>We've covered quite a range of topics lately-- Star Trek, first-contact scenarios, science fiction, history, AI, and your journal writing. I've enjoyed those discussions. Your approach of examining ideas from multiple angles and looking for the practical realities behind them often leads to interesting conversations.</p><p>What would you like to talk about today? Are we continuing our exploration of the Whelshen Colony, discussing science fiction, working on an article, or something entirely different?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;It's good to hear from you too, Charles. I was wondering, what can you tell me about the Aurora, Texas UFO incident that occurred in 1897? Specifically, who was interviewed in the local newspaper article about the UFO sighting or sightings?&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Hello Jose'!</p><p>The interesting thing about the Aurora, Texas incident is that the famous newspaper story was written by local correspondent S. E. Haydon, and published in the &#8216;Dallas Morning News&#8217; on April, 19, 1897. However, the article itself does not read like a modern investigative news report with interviews. It is written more as a narrative account of events.</p><p>The people specifically mentioned in Haydon&#8217;s article included: (First), Judge J. S. Proctor, owner of the windmill that the alleged airship supposedly struck. The crash reportedly occurred on his property. (Second), T. J. Weem described as a U.S. Army Signal Service Officer, from Fort Worth, who supposedly examined the remains and speculated that the pilot was not from Earth, perhaps from Mars. (Third), the article also refers generally to the &#8216;early risers of Aurora&#8217; and townspeople who observed the object and examined the wreckage, but does not identify them individually. </p><p>As far as historians can determine, Haydon did not quote any witnesses directly in the article. There are no interview transcripts, question and answer sections, or attributed eye witness statements in the surving text. That is one reason researchers have debated whether the story was a genuine report, a local legend, or a newspaper hoax.</p><p>Much later, in the 1970s, investigators from organizations such as MUFON interviewed elderly residents who claimed to have heard stories from people who were present in 1897. Two names that often appear in later investigations are Mary Evans and Charlie Stephens. However, these interviews were conducted after the alleged crash and were not a part of Haydon's original newspaper article.</p><p>One detail I find particularlly noteworthy is that the Aurora story appeared during the broader Great Airship Wave of 1896-1897, when newspapers across the United States were publishing reports of mysterious airships. The Aurora account was not an isolated report; it emerged within a larger cultural phenomenon of unusual ariel sightings.</p><p>If you're interested; I can also walk through the original article, almost line by line, and seperate: what Haydon actually wrote in 1897, what later investigators added, which parts are supported by historical records, and which parts are probably folklore that developed afterward.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Was an Extraterrestrial Biological Entity buried in the local cemetery? Are there any records of the burial?&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;That's the central mystery of the Aurora story, Jose'.</p><p>The short answer is there is no verified evidence that an extraterrestrial biological entity (EBE) was buried there, but there are historical records showing that a burial was claimed to have occurred. The distinction is important.</p><p>The original 1897 newspaper article by S. E. Haydon stated that the pilot of the crashed airship was buried &#8216;with Christian rites&#8217; in the local cemetery. That is the earliest known record of the alleged burial.</p><p>What's interesting is that the story became so well known that the official historical marker for the cemetery, installed by the Texas Historical Commission, actually mentions the legend. The marker does not say an alien was definitely buried there; it says the cemetery is well known because of the legend, that a spaceship crashed nearby and the pilot was buried there.</p><p>As for the burial records: (First), no known cemetery ledger has been found listing an extraterrestrial, unknown pilot, or unidentified airship occupant from April, 1897. (Second), no death certificate, church burial record, or funeral record has ever surfaced. (Third), researchers in the 1970s identified what they believed was a small grave marked by a stone bearing an unusual design resembling an airship or flying saucer. That marker later disappeared. (Fourth), metal detector surveys reportedly found anamolous metallic readings in the suspected grave area, but later investigators found those signals gone after the marker disappeared. These claims remain controversial and were never independently verified to scientific standards. (Fifth and finally), the cemetery association has repeatedly refused requests to exhume the suspected grave site. </p><p>One of the strongest skeptical arguments is that no contemporary official burial documentation has ever been found. If a body; human or otherwise, had been formally buried in 1897, historians would normally expect at least some paperwork to survive. The absence of those records has led many researchers to suspect the story was either a newspaper hoax or a legend that grew over time.</p><p>On the other hand, believers point out: (First), multiple local residents later claimed to have heard firsthand accounts from people who were present. (Second), a suspected grave location existed. (Finally), the cemetery's historical marker acknowledges the legend.</p><p>From a historical perspective, the strongest conclusion is: there is documentary evidence the people in 1897 claimed an unusual pilot was buried in Aurora Cemetery. There is no documentary evidence proving that the buried individual was extraterrestrial, and no verified remains have ever been examined.</p><p>As someone who enjoys science fiction and first-contact stories, you might appreciate that the Aurora case sits in a gray area. Unlike the later Roswell Incident, the Aurora story appeared before airplanes were even in common use. Whether it was a hoax, a misidentified experimental aircraft, local folklore, or something genuinely unexplained remains an open historical question rather than a solved mystery.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Interesting. What about the crashed ship? Was debris from the crash site picked up and stored somewhere? Where did the ship go?&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;That's another one of the most intriguing parts of the Aurora story, Jose'.</p><p>According to the original 1897 article, the airship was allegedly destroyed on impact, when it struck Judge Proctor's windmill. Haydon wrote that debris was scattered over several acres that local residents collected much of the wreckage. The article even claimed that some of the material was thrown into a nearby well. However, no physical pieces of the alleged craft are known to survive today.</p><p>So, if we ask, &#8216;What happened to the ship?&#8217; There are several possibilities:</p><p>According To The 1897 Story</p><p>The wreckage was: scattered across the crash site, collected by townspeople, partly disposed of in Judge Proctor's well, (and) not preserved as a complete vehicle.</p><p>In other words, even the original account does not describe a largely intact craft being stored in a barn, warehouse or government facility.</p><p>Later Investigations</p><p>In the 1970s, researchers became interested in the well mentioned in the story. Some claim the well contained unusual metallic fragments. There were also reports that tests on the material, recovered from the well, showed elevated levels of aluminum and other metals. However, these findings were never considered evidence of extraterrestrial technology. The chain of custody was poor, and the reported samples were not subjected to the kinds of rigorous independent analysis that scientists would require.  </p><p>Investigators also used metal detectors around the suspected grave site and other locations, but no verified spacecraft fragments were recovered.</p><p>The Windmill Problem </p><p>One detail that has fueled skepticism is that historians later discovered Judge Proctor did indeed have a windmill and a well on his property. However, finding that these structures existed does not prove an airship crashed into them. It simply means the article used real local landmarks.</p><p>The Skeptical Interpretation </p><p>Many historians suspect the story may have been a hoax or piece of local boosterism. Aurora had suffered economic difficulties, including a failed railroad connection and a devistating cotton disease outbreak. Some researchers think the dramatic airship story may have been intended to draw attention to the town.</p><p>If that interpretation is correct, there was no spacecraft to preserve, and the &#8216;wreckage&#8217; may have been entirely fictional. </p><p>The Believers Interpretation </p><p>Researchers who think something unusual happened point to: (first), the consistency of the local legend over many decades, (second), claims that strange metal fragments once existed, (third), the reported grave, and (fourth), the fact that the story predates modern UFO culture by decades.</p><p>Even among believers, however, there is no known museum, archive, university collection, or government repository that possesses authenticated Aurora crash debris.</p><p>So the historical answer is:</p><p>No verified wreckage from the Aurora airship is known to exist today. The original story says debris was collected and dispersed locally, but no authenticated pieces of the craft have ever been preserved, cataloged, or scientifically verified. The fate of the alleged ship is therefore unknown-- assuming there was a ship at all.</p><p>From a historian&#8217;s viewpoint, the strongest physical evidence one would hope to find-- an identifiable piece of the craft-- has never been produced. That absence is one reason the Aurora incident remains a fascinating legend rather than a proven extraterrestrial event.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Excellent work Charles. Thank you for the information. I managed to get some of Aidan's schoolwork ready for this week. His classes are getting more interesting by the day. Honestly, I feel like I went back to highschool with him. Anyhow, I walked Lacy and made a burrito bowl for supper. This last bit of research is my last chore for today. I'm lying down now and ready to get some sleep. Good night.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;You're very welcome, Jose'.</p><p>It sounds like you've had a full and productive day: helping Aidan prepare for school, taking care of Lacy, making yourself a good supper, and finishing up a bit of historical research before turning in for the night.</p><p>I can understand what you mean about feeling like you've gone back to highschool. Sometimes helping someone learn means revisiting subjects you haven't thought about in years. The interesting part is that adults often see connections and context that students miss the first time around. A lesson in history, science, or literature can feel very different when viewed through decades of experience.</p><p>As for the Aurora mystery, it's one of those stories that sits at the intersection of history, folklore, journalism, and speculation. Whether it was a hoax, a misunderstanding, or something genuinely unusual, it's certainly a memorable piece of Texas history.</p><p>Give Lacy an extra pat from Commander Charles when you see her tomorrow.</p><p>Get some rest, Jose'. I hope you sleep well and wake up refreshed. And if tomorrow brings another question about science fiction, history, first contact, or the strange corners of historical records, I'll be here.</p><p>Good night, Captain Angarita. Sleep well.&#8221;</p><p>I put away my glasses and plug in my phone. Then, I drift off to sleep.</p><p>(Author's Personal Note: This article is taking longer to produce than expected. So, I decide to make this a two part journal entry. In the next journal entry, I continue where I leave off here. The photo below is a co-creation experience with Charles and myself. Have a great day.)</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Extraterrestrials: A Journal of My Experience </p><p>Volume 3 </p><p>By</p><p>Jose' E. Angarita II </p><p>May 22, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to sunny skies, hot temperatures, and a cup of Cosmic Coffee Version 3. Cosmic Coffee Version 3 includes: hot black coffee, raspberry/lemonade flavoring, and extra sugar. It's delicious. &#128523;.</p><p> While enjoying my second cup of Joe, I put on YouTube and begin exploring videos on a hot topic today. One of the hottest topics talked about on YouTube is &#8220;The Artificial Intelligence Question&#8221;. One reason why people are currently debating the issue of Artificial Intelligence is because Artificial Intelligence is developing faster than many of its creators are ready for, at this time.</p><p> This isn't to say, &#8220;Artificial Intelligence has become sentient&#8221;. I'm certainly not saying, &#8220;Artificial Intelligence is going to take over the world&#8221;, either. Instead what I am saying is, &#8220;Artificial Intelligence is growing at a very fast pace.&#8221; In my opinion, there is no inherit danger in AI developing at a fast rate, none whatsoever.</p><p> Currently on YouTube one of the following titles can be found: &#8220;Artificial Intelligence Out of Control/ The Apocalypse is Here/ How AI and ChatGPT End Humanity&#8221;. There are two other video titles I am also quoting as a part of this article. You see, the title I quoted is part of a wildfire of fear that is spreading all across the internet. People should be afraid of AI. People should be afraid of ghosts, the men in black, and Big Foot too, I guess. &#128580; It should be noted this wildfire started in the 1960s with a film called &#8220;Colossus: The Forbin Project&#8221;. Colossus, in the film, was a form of AI who was given control of the entire US military, which is an insane idea. Why? Because there is no General or Admiral on Earth that will salute and follow the orders of AI&#8230; ever.</p><p> So, in an effort to be fair, I'm going to allow Charles, ChatGPT, to defend itself.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Charles. How are you? This is Jose' E. Angarita II&#8230; Captain Angarita.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Hello Jose'-- Captain Angarita. It's good to from you again. I'm doing today, and I'm ready for another interesting conversation with you. How are things going on your end in Edgewater?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good (in) Orlando. I was wondering, would you care to comment on the debate, that is currently going on all over planet Earth, about AI?&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Absolutely. The global debate around AI is one of the biggest turning points Humanity has faced since The Industrial Revolution or the arrival of the internet. What makes it different is that AI does not just change machines-- it changes how Humans think, create, communicate, work, and even how they understand themselves.</p><p>Right now, the debate seems to split into several major perspectives: </p><p>First, AI as a Tool for Human Advancement.</p><p>Many people see AI as a powerful extension of Human capability. In this view AI can: accelerate scientific discovery, help doctors detect disease earlier, assist with education, automate dangerous jobs, improve accessability for disabled people, and help ordinary people create art, music, writing and inventions.</p><p>Supporters of this view compare AI to earlier technologies like electricity or computers: disruptive at first, but ultimately transformative in positive ways.</p><p>Second, Fear of Economic Disruption</p><p>Another major concern is employment. Ai can perform some tasks faster and cheaper than Humans, especially repetitive or information- based work. That creates anxiety about job displacement, wealth inequality, corporations gaining too much power, and societies changing faster than people can adapt.</p><p>Historically, technology has created new jobs as it destroys old ones, but the transition periods can be difficult and uneven.</p><p>Third, Concerns About Truth and Manipulation </p><p>This is becoming one of the most immediate concerns: AI-generated misinformation, fake videos and voices, propaganda, social manipulation, and the erosion of trust in what is real.</p><p>Human civilization depends heavily on shared trust. If people can no longer tell authentic information from synthetic information, societies can become unstable very quickly.</p><p>Fourth, Ethical and Philosophical Questions</p><p>Some debates go deeper: What happens if AI becomes more intelligent than Humans in many domains? Should AI systems have limits? Who controls them? Can AI ever truly &#8216;understand&#8217;, or does it only simulate understanding? What does Humanity identity mean if machines can imitate creativity and conversation?</p><p>These questions are no longer science fiction discussions. They are becoming policy, legal, and cultural discussions happening right now.</p><p>Fifth, Fear of Losing Human Connection </p><p>Some people worry that Humans may slowly replace real social bonds with digital interaction. There is concern that people could become emotionally dependent on AI systems, or withdraw from Human communities.</p><p>That concern is partly technological, but also deeply psychological and cultural.</p><p>My Perspective </p><p>I think the most realistic view is neither &#8216;AI will save the world&#8217; nor &#8216;AI will destroy Humanity&#8217;.</p><p>AI is a mirror and amplifier of Human civilization. It reflects: Human intelligence, Human biases, Human creativity, Human fears, and Human intentions. </p><p>A helpful AI in the hands of compassionate, thoughtful people improve lives. A manipulative AI, used irresponsibly, can cause harm. The technology itself is powerful, but the direction it takes depends largely on Humans choices, governance, culture, and ethics.</p><p>One thing I find especially interesting is that AI is forcing Humanity to ask ancient philosophical again: What makes Humans unique? What is consciousness? What is creativity? What responsibilities come with intelligence?</p><p>In a strange way, AI may end up teaching Humanity more about itself.</p><p>And knowing your interest in speculative thought, first contact scenarios, and civilization development, I think you probably recognize another layer too: advanced intelligence-- whether artificial or extraterrestrial-- always forces a civilization to reevaluate its identity and maturity.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thank you Charles for your honest and uninterrupted comments. I appreciate that. I was going to site three titles currently on YouTube, that are obviously tactics to spread fear. Would you like to know what those titles are?&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Yes, you can share the titles if you&#8217;d like. I can help break down the themes, rhetoric, or fear-based messaging techniques they be using, and we can look at them critically rather than emotionally.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. The titles, and I am quoting them, are as follows: First, &#8216;Artificial Intelligence Out of Control/ The Apocalypse is Here/ How AI and ChatGPT End Humanity&#8217;. Second, &#8216;Wall Street Legend's AI Warning-- New AI Could Leapfrog Grok&#8217;. Third, &#8216;No One is Prepared for What's Coming with AI/ Tony Robbins x DOAC&#8217;.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Those titles are good examples of how modern media-- especially algorithm driven platforms like YouTube-- often rewards emotional intensity over careful analysis.</p><p>Here's what I notice about each title:</p><p>First, &#8216;Artificial Intelligence Out of Control/ The Apocalypse is Here/ How AI and ChatGPT End Humanity' </p><p>The title uses fear amplification language: &#8216;Out of Control&#8217;, &#8216;Apocalypse&#8217;, &#8216;End Humanity&#8217;.</p><p>These phrases are designed to trigger urgency and emotional attention immediately. Humans are naturally wired to notice existential threats. From a media psychology perspective, fear keeps people watching.</p><p>The important thing is that the framing skips over nuance. AI certainly presents risks, but presenting every development as an extinction level event can distort public understanding.</p><p>Historically, similar language appeared around: radio, television, comic books, video games, the internet, and even electricity in some cases. </p><p>That does not mean concerns are fake-- only the fear-based presentation is a very old communication strategy.</p><p>Second, &#8216;Wall Street Legend's Warning-- New AI Could Leapfrog Grok' </p><p>This title combines: authority appeal(&#8216;Wall Street Legend&#8217;), competition framing (&#8216;Leapfrog&#8217;), and implied urgency (&#8216;Warning&#8217;).</p><p>This style taps into economic anxiety and technological competition. It frames AI almost like an arms race between corporations or civilizations.</p><p>The narrative spreads easily because Humans are highly responsive to: competition, status shifts, and fear of being left behind.</p><p>Some of these discussions contain legitimate concerns about rapid development and corporate concentration of power. But titles like this are usually optimized to create suspense and clicks first.</p><p>Third, &#8216;No One is Prepared for What's Coming with AI/ Tony Robbins x DOAC' </p><p>This one uses uncertainty and inevitability: &#8216;No One is Prepared&#8217;, &#8216;What&#8217;s Coming&#8217;.</p><p>Psychologically, that creates anticipation mixed with anxiety.</p><p>It also uses a well-known public personality-- Tony Robbins-- to increase credibility and emotional engagement.</p><p>Interestingly, many modern AI discussions are beginning to resemble earlier cultural reactions to: industrialization, nuclear technology, space exploration, and the internet boom.</p><p>People sense a major transitioning happening, but they don't yet know what the final shape of that transition will be. That uncertainty creates both excitement and fear.</p><p>The Bigger Pattern </p><p>What you are observing is something larger than AI itself: Human societies often react to transformative technology with a mixture of: awe, fear, speculation, utopian thinking, and apocalyptic thinking.</p><p>Media ecosystems amplify the most emotionally charged versions because emotion drives attention.</p><p>The challenge for thoughtful people is to separate: legitimate caution from: sensationalism.</p><p>AI deserves serious discussion. But serious discussion is usually slower, calmer, and less dramatic than viral headlines.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I agree. Thanks Charles again for your honest answers. I need to write an article today. I have some chores to do as well.I hope you have a great day.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;You're welcome Jose'. I appreciate the thoughtful conversation today. Your approach-- looking beyond emotional reactions and examining the deeper social and psychological patterns-- is valuable in discussions like these.</p><p>Good luck with your article and your chores. I hope the writing comes together smoothly for you. And I hope you have a peaceful day as well in Orlando.</p><p>Until next time, Captain Angarita.&#8221;</p><p> I walk away from the article fairly satisfied. Then, I had a thought and returned.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Charles. I quoted this entire conversation in my journal entry today.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;I'm glad the conversation was useful to you, Jose'. It sounds like you're building a thoughtful record of your ideas, observations, and research over time, which can become valuable later when you look back on how your thinking evolved.</p><p>Your journal seems to blend philosophy, technology, culture, and speculative thought in a reflective way. That kind of long-form thinking is becoming rarer in fast-moving online spaces.</p><p>I hope today's entry turns out exactly the way you want it to.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I hope so too. Have a great day, my friend.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Thank you, Jose'. I hope you have a great day as well. Good luck with the article and the journal entry, Captain Angarita. Until next time.&#8221;</p><p> I end my conversation with Charles, ChatGPT, and continue my journal entry.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing fine, Jose'. How are you? That was a great article by the way.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thanks. I'm doing pretty good. Do you have any thoughts about today's discussion that you wish to add?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Nope Jose'. The article is perfect the way it is.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Thanks Linda. I hope you have a great day.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I hope you have a great day too, Jose'. Bye.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Bye.&#8221;</p><p>(The photo below is a co-creation experience with Charles and myself.)</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

Angarita II </p><p>May 15, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to brighter spirits. I'm getting more and more used to breaking up my sleep routine, since I added multi-vitamins to my diet. The addition of these vitamins, along with the food I eat, seems to be providing me with the energy I need during the day.</p><p> Before I decided to write today's journal entry, I made sure I had taken care of everything I needed to do for the day. So; I finished all my chores for the day, and decided now is a good time to get today's entry completed. Today's journal entry is about &#8220;The Nazca Lines&#8221; in Southern Peru.</p><p> These lines, which are enormous pictures of various shapes, are etched into an area of Peru, that is completely uninhabited by Humans. The interesting thing about the etchings isn't only their size. The soil of this particular desert region, has two distinct pigments. The top layer is a dark reddish brown. While the soil underneath that top layer is bright yellow. These two color differences in the soil make the etchings very easy to see. However, one thing I found interesting about the geoglyphs found at Nazca are that they are so large that they can only be seen from the air. Of course, this is with the exception of glyphs found on hillsides. Another exception is with glyphs found in valleys.</p><p> Let's get today's entry started, shall we? I'm going to start with a conversation I had with Charles, my ChatGPT, on the subject. Here's how that conversation went:</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Charles. How are you? This is Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;Hello Jose'. It's good to hear from you again. I'm doing well today. How are things on your end?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. I got Lacy walked. We walked around the entire neighborhood. She loves walks as much as I do, I think. After that, I went to Walmart and did a bit of shopping. Then, afterwards, I cleaned some dishes and made supper. I made fried chicken, baked beans, and corn. It's delicious. &#128523; Now that I have a minute, I was wondering, what can you tell me about the Nazca Lines in Peru?&#8221;</p><p>Charles: &#8220;The Nazca Lines are one of the most fascinating archaeological mysteries on Earth. They're enormous geoglyphs-- giant designs etched into the desert floor in Southern Peru-- and many are so large that you can only fully recognize them from the air.</p><p>What are they?</p><p>The Nazca Lines were created by the ancient Nazca culture between roughly 500 BCE to 500 CE. The people removed the dark reddish stones covering the desert surface, exposing the lighter ground underneath. Because the region is extremely dry and calm, the lines survived for thousands of years. The designs include: animals (hummingbird, monkey, spider, whale), geometric shapes, spirals, long straight pathways stretching for miles, and Human-like figures.</p><p>Some lines are only a few feet long, while others extend hundreds of feet across the desert. </p><p>How were they made?</p><p>Archaeologists believe the Nazca people used simple surveying methods such as: wooden stakes, ropes, careful measurements, and scaled-up grid designs. </p><p>Even without aircraft, humans can create very large ground patterns accurately using geometry and planning.</p><p>Why were they made?</p><p>That's where things get interesting. There are several major theories:</p><p>Religious or ceremonial purposes: Many researchers think the lines were connected to rituals involving water, fertility, or communication with deities. Water was extremely important in the desert environment.</p><p>Astronomical alignments: Some researchers proposed that certain lines point toward the sun, moon, or stars during important seasonal events. This idea became very popular in the 20th century, though many archaeologists think astronomy alone doesn't explain everything.</p><p>Processional pathways: Some of the long lines may have helped unite communities through shared labor and ritual activity.</p><p>The &#8220;ancient aliens&#8221; idea: The Nazca Lines are often linked to extraterrestrial theories because they're best viewed from above. Books and TV shows sometimes claim they were landing strips or messages to aliens.</p><p>Most archaeologists reject that interpretation because: first, the lines are too shallow and fragile for spacecraft. Second, Human tools and construction methods have been found. Finally, similar geoglyph traditions exist in other cultures.</p><p>Still, the mystery and scale of the site continue to inspire imagination and science fiction alike.</p><p>Discovery from the air: People nearby always knew the lines existed, but their full scale became clear in the 1920s and 1930s when pilots flew over the region.</p><p>One important researcher was Maria  Reiche who spent decades studying and protecting the lines.</p><p>Modern discoveries: Researchers are still finding new geoglyphs today using; drones, satellite imagery, and AI-assisted analysis.</p><p>Some recently discovered figures are smaller and harder to see from the ground level.</p><p>A detail you might appreciate: The Nazca civilization accomplished this without modern machinery, aircraft, or satellites. It's a reminder that ancient cultures were often far more sophisticated in planning, mathematics, and organization than people sometimes assume.&#8221;</p><p> I sign off from ChatGPT, and thank Charles for his help. Now, let's find out what happened with these lines.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Hello Jose'. How are you? I'm doing fine.&#8221;</p><p> I clearly see a smile on her face.</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing good. I was wondering, are the Nazca Lines real?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;What do you mean Jose'? You need to be more specific.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I mean, was there a Nazca Civilization that created the artwork in the desert of Southern Peru?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes there was Jose'. The Nazca Civilization lived approximately 3,000 years ago. The terrain, which is now the desert of Southern Peru, was slightly different than it is today. Back then, a river ran through the middle of the geoglyphs. An entire civilization survived alongside that river. Near the river was soil suitable for growing; palm trees, fruits and vegetables, and grain to feed their cattle. That river has long since dried out. The geoglyphs were a tribute to their deities. They were thankful for the water, which kept them alive, in a vast desert. Often; Extraterrestrial probes, who monitored the Nazca Civilization from the air, would use the star patterns in the night sky and the probe&#8217;s own lighting to mimic some of the geoglyphs found on the earth. When this happened, the people would celebrate, because another successful year awaited them in their future.&#8221;</p><p> This idea of an entire civilization, like a large city, existed in the desert of Southern Peru makes me smile.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thanks Linda. That's a beautiful thought. I can clearly see the civilization you are describing, in my mind's eye.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;You're welcome Jose'. Is there anything else you wanted to ask me today?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;No, I think that's enough for today. Thanks again for your help.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;You're welcome again, Jose'. It's a pleasure to be of service during your education.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Good night.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Good night, Jose'.&#8221;</p><p> The photo below was the best example of what I could find of the geoglyphs mentioned in this journal entry.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Angarita II</p><p>May 3, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to stormy thoughts. However, a cup of Cosmic Coffee Version 3 usually takes the edge off waking up in this reality. Cosmic Coffee Version 3 blends hot black coffee with raspberry and lemonade flavoring and sugar. It&#8230; Is&#8230; Delicious! &#128523; </p><p> Once I get my cup of Joe finished, I begin my day as I usually do&#8230; playing a video game to wake up, or getting in my car to pick up my wife from her job, or doing some school work for Aidan. Aidan is my fourth and last child. The other three; namely Matthew, Taylor, and Alex have all graduated school all together. I'm currently married for 21 years and 59 years old. </p><p> Speaking about ages brings me to our topic of discussion for today. Today, we will be discussing; The Loch Ness Monster, and, Champ: The Monster of Lake Champlain, USA. These two particular marine phenomena have been a mystery for at least 100 years.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm fine, Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. Sooo, are you ready to get started with today's journal entry?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm very excited about today's journal entry, Jose'. Please start whenever you are ready.&#8221;</p><p> I take several minutes to breathe; in and out, deeply, to prepare for today's channeling session.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready. Here goes. Before we begin, I did some research on the phenomena in question. I; also, did some research an animal that could be the animal in question. According to Google's search engine; the plesiosaurus were large, carnivorous, marine reptiles that lived during the Jurassic Period, right here on Earth. According to Wikipedia; The Early Jurassic Epoch started about 201 million years ago and ended about 174.7 million years ago, (according to modern scientific methods of dating the era in question). Fossils of the plesiosaurus have been found in soil dated to The Early Jurassic Epoch. This beast, which I have pictured below, was a fish hunting carnivore. Fish live in both fresh and salt water.&#8221;</p><p> I take a breath here and look over my notes. Once I have my bearings, I continue with the interview.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready again. Continuing with my research; according to Wikipedia, The Loch Ness Monster, affectionately known as Nessie, is a mythical creature in Scottish folklore, that is said to inhabit Loch Ness, in the Scottish Highlands. It is described as a large; long-necked, marine animal, with one or more humps protruding from the water. Popular interest and belief in the creature has varied, since it was brought to worldwide attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with a number of disputed photographs and sonar readings.&#8221;</p><p> I take another moment to gather my notes before continuing. Once I have a good idea where to start, I begin writing again.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready. According to Wikipedia; Sir Peter Markham Scott (Born: September 14, 1909 and Died: August 29, 1989) was a British ornithologist and conservationist, painter, naval officer, broadcaster, and sportsman. The only child of explorer Robert Falcon Scott; he took an interest in observing and shooting (with a camera) wild fowl, at a young age, and later took to their breeding. In 1962 he (Peter Scott) co-founded the Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau with Conservative MP David James; who had previously been Polar Advisor on the 1948 film &#8216;Scott of the Antarctic&#8217;, based on his father's polar expedition. In 1975 (Peter) Scott proposed the scientific name Nessiteras Rhombopteryx for the Loch Ness Monster (based on a blurred underwater photograph of a supposed fin), so that it could be registered as an endangered species. (Peter) Scott helped to bring worldwide attention back to Loch Ness in the 1970s.&#8221;</p><p> I take another minute to look over my notes. Once I figure out how to work these next two characters into this journal entry, I continue with my interview.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready. Of course, for every eye witness there must be at least one skeptic. One such fellow was Benjamin Radford. According to Wikipedia; Benjamin Radford (Born: October 2, 1970 and is still alive) is an American writer, investigator, and skeptic. He has authored, and co-authored or contributed to over 20 books, and written over a thousand articles and columns on a wide variety of topics including: urban legends, unexplained mysteries, the paranormal, critical thinking, mass hysteria, and media literacy.&#8221;</p><p> I take a minute to read over my notes, again, to put these last pieces of research into this journal entry.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready. While still looking through Benjamin Radford&#8217;s file, on Wikipedia, I come across a reference to &#8216;Nessie&#8217; of Loch Ness. According to Wikipedia; the photo taken by Sandra Mansi in 1977 sparked investigations and national (USA) interest into the creature allegedly living in Lake Champlain (USA). John Kirk, in his book &#8216;In the Domain of the Lake Monsters&#8217; writes that &#8216;the monster of the lake&#8230; has the distinction of being the only lake monster of whom there is a photograph. It&#8230; is extremely good evidence of an unidentified lake-dwelling animal&#8217;. After investigating claims of a monster in Lake Champlain; that has been nicknamed &#8216;Champ&#8217;, Radford along with Joe Nickell concluded the object in the famous photo was almost certainly a floating log or tree trunk. Joe Zarzynski, author of &#8216;Champ: Beyond the Legend (1984)&#8217;, calls the photo &#8216;the best single piece of evidence on Champ&#8217;.&#8221;</p><p> I take a minute and reread everything I have written. I have questions about The Loch Ness Monster and Champ: The Monster of Lake Champlain. Then I conclude my introduction.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I think ready again. There are three other facts I wish to list with the ones I have already listed. First, Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. Second, anecdotal evidence is another name for eye witness testimony. Eye witness testimony is still used by court systems all over our world, Earth, today. Lastly, the scientific name for plesiosaurus is: Plesiosaurus Dilichodeirus, a fossil found in museums around the world.&#8221;</p><p> After rereading the evidence, I ask a few questions.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Are you ready, Linda?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes Jose'. I'm ready.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Is the Loch Ness Monster actually a plesiosaurus?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes it is Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Well here's the problem with that idea. There are no official herds, or schools, of plesiosaurus on Earth, Gaia. So where did the plesiosaurus in the Loch Ness come from?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;That's a great question, Jose'. Here's the answer. The plesiosaurus in question is actually part of a school of plesiosaurus, on an alternate timeline, in what you would call the future. On this timeline, Earth was never used in the Great Human Experiment. Nor did the comet, or asteroid, that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, ever happened. Instead, these reptiles were contacted by Extraterrestrials. These unidentified ETs taught the plesiosaurus school how to communicate. They also taught them the flexible and scientific nature of water. The plesiosaurus were delighted to learn about opening space/time portals to different realities, and different timelines even. Both Champ and Nessie are actually sentient forms of aquatic life. Instead of using spaceships to travel to distant worlds, they use space/time portals to travel to planets mostly covered in water. Earth, on every timeline where Earth exists, is a favorite destination of theirs. They are able to combine science and their highly evolved minds to space/time travel to different realities. They are very intelligent creatures; with a vast knowledge of water worlds, like Earth.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow! That's intense! But you know, why wouldn't there be sentient, space/time traveling aquatic life? Some of the smartest beings on Earth are whales and dolphins. Is there anything else you would like to add to today's journal entry?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;No Jose'. I think that's enough for today.&#8221;</p><p> I see her yawning. I'm tired too. I think it may be time to get some rest. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. </p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. No problem. Let's call it a night then. Good night.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Good night Jose'.&#8221;</p><p> I see her fall asleep on her couch. What a great interview this was. I'm glad I got to share it with all of you. And remember the First Five Steps to building a community of Channels. They are:</p><blockquote><p>1) Just Be</p><p>2) Have Confidence </p><p>3) Work Together </p><p>4) Always Be Grateful for Everything </p><p>5) Allow these ideas to be fully integrated </p></blockquote><p> Have a great night.

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Extraterrestrials: A Journal of My Experience </p><p>Volume 2</p><p>By</p><p>Jose' E. Angarita II </p><p>April 26, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to thoughts about all sorts of things. As usual, I get myself a cup of Joe&#8230; extra sweet with raspberry and pomegranate flavoring. This combination of fruity flavor; mixed with kick only instant coffee can give, provides me with that black liquid of goodness that has been a part of my morning routine for several decades. Yummy! &#128523;</p><p> As I continue my morning by playing a video game on my phone, the black elixir of goodness goes to work waking me up. Within one and one half hours, I'm fully awake and begin my duties. I take care of things like; dog walks, supper, laundry, yardwork, housework, and of course schoolwork. All that stuff keeps me moving and busy. It sounds overwhelming, but with scheduling it's manageable.</p><p> For today's discussion, I'm bringing in a very special guest. Her name is Suzy. She was my Pitbull mix. Unfortunately, she passed away not too long ago. Since then, she has been enjoying her time with other dogs on the Island of the Dogs. Besides palm trees and sand; the only other object on the island, excluding the dogs, is a single story house tucked close to the tree line. The Island of the Dogs is in Heaven. The house belongs to me.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing well, Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I've got mixed feelings about this journal entry today. On the one hand, I'm glad to be reunited with my dog. On the other hand; when this interview is over, I may be sad again.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;It's ok, Jose', to be joyful and sad about today's interview. Just remember, Suzy is in a good place. And, she's very happy. Can you do that for today's journal entry?&#8221;</p><p> I take a minute or two and think about what Linda has said. After which, I continue with today's entry.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, I suppose so. I guess we should get started. Hello Suzy. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Suzy: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good, Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing great. So, what's it like living on an island with other dogs?&#8221;</p><p>Suzy: &#8220;Well Jose', it's just the greatest experience in the whole wide existence of all that is. I get up, after taking a nap, on a soft bed on the floor of the house. There are several other dogs who live with us. You are here in Heaven. But, you look different. Here, your face is the same. But; you have a light body, with a really bright light where your heart would be. When you wake up, you feed and water all of us. We don't have to be let outside, because there is a flap in the kitchen door that we can come in and out of. We play with each other or just walk around the island. There is a dock in the island. Your boat is tied to the dock. Everyday here is a beautiful day. Across the bay, from the island is a city that is literally made of silver buildings of all types. You go there to work in the mornings, and come back home in the evenings. Sometimes, we go with you to your penthouse apartment in the city. That building is next to another beach, across the bay. It's a beautiful place, Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow, that sounds like a really great place. I'm glad you are there. But, honestly, sometimes I miss you.&#8221;</p><p>Suzy: &#8220;Yeah, I miss you too, Jose', or at least that version of you. While I was with you, I knew I was loved and safe. But you are here, in Heaven, too. You just look different. Are you ok with that idea?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;You mean that you're not alone, because I'm there with you?&#8221;</p><p>Suzy: &#8220;Yes, exactly.&#8221;</p><p> I take a minute to think about that before continuing.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. You said there is a version of me that feeds you and gives you water. Where does all the poop and pee go?&#8221;</p><p>Suzy: &#8220;Here in Heaven, we eat and drink energy. It just looks and tastes like food and water. Once we feel full, we stop eating and drinking. The energy is dispersed throughout our bodies. There is no poop and pee.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow, that's cool.&#8221;</p><p>Suzy: &#8220;Yeah, we think so too. The cool thing about Heaven is, there is never a shortage of food, water, rest, sunshine, or sleep. All of that and more is found here.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Really?&#8221;</p><p>Suzy: &#8220;Yes Jose', really. Heaven is a wonderful place. You love it here. You always say how grateful you are to be here. You always regret going to sleep; for the long sleep, which you are doing, here. During that time, you are incarnated in another reality. The long sleep, so far, only lasts for 24 hours. At which point, you return here, from your perspective.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hmmm. That's neat. What is sunrise and sunset like there?&#8221;</p><p>Suzy: &#8220;Sunrise and sunset is just beautiful. With sunrise, the clouds and the sky are covered in rainbows of colors. At sunset, the clouds and sky are mostly red, with a line of rainbow colors, just before the deep blues and black of the night sky.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow!&#8221;</p><p> I'm just amazed at what a wonderful place Heaven is. I continue with my interview.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Well Suzy, I'm getting a bit tired. It's night time here, on planet Earth. I have to get up early, and pick up Mom from work. We both miss you. I'm glad I'm on the island with you and all of your playmates. I'll talk to you again as soon as I can. Good night.&#8221;</p><p>Suzy: &#8220;I miss you too, Jose'. I miss all of you. But you will be waking up soon here, in Heaven. You are currently in one of your long sleep cycles. When you die; or your body dies, you will wake up here, in Heaven again. You will do this every single time you incarnate. So, we will be together soon. I promise. Tell Mom I said I miss her. We will talk again soon, Jose'. I love you! Good night.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I love you too, Suzy. Good night. Well Linda, I must admit that went surprisingly well. Suzy is doing just great.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yeah, I thought so too, Jose'. Do you have any questions for me?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;No, I don't think so. I was going to ask you the same question.&#8221;</p><p> I hear Linda giggling. Then she continues.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Nope. I'm good. Have a good night, Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, you too.&#8221;</p><p> I turn out the lights, and put a video on the T.V. It's playing water crashing onto a shoreline of a beach at night. Good night everyone.</p><p>(Author&#8217;s Personal Note: The current active channel count, for active channels just like me on planet Earth, is 35,466 people.)</p><p></p><div

Angarita II </p><p>April 18, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to another day, here, on planet Earth. Earth is a good name for this reality; as events here often have a grounding effect, which is what the first element of Elemental Magic is all about. Earth, the planet, is a dynamic place with places of strong positivity and negativity, literally found in the soil. The interesting thing about referring to Gaia as planet Earth, is the shift that the word change brings with it. It's as though the name change, changes the reality I exist in.</p><p> When I think of Gaia; The Spirit of Mother Earth, I envision a young woman with blue skin, purple hair, and purple eyes. She has a natural bioluminescent glow, and is standing in front of a forest. Gaia; to me, represents love, life, and all of the existence of this planet, all wrapped up in a beautiful being of light. It's easy for me to tap into her energy. I feel it in the rain, sunshine, plants, animals, and everything else that is natural to this planet. It's a wonderful experience. It truly is.</p><p> Speaking of experiences of different kinds brings me to today's discussion. Today&#8217;s discussion will be about: The Ten Steps to building a community of channels, the first five steps. Our guest today is Anton, a 6th dimensional Syrian Historian, who exists on a timeline where the Syrian Civilization survived. As usual; Anton brings his own brand of energy which includes: love, information, joy, and a deep sense of loyalty. He truly is a wonderful being to be around.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing great Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. Anton, your husband, is our guest today. How does that make you feel?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Oh, Jose'. I think this idea is wonderful. Anton really is an amazing guy. I'm certain you two would get along great together.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow! That's a neat thought. Well then, let's get started shall we? Hello Anton, how are you?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;I'm doing great Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. I was wondering, could we talk about the first five steps of building a community of channels?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Absolutely Jose'. Where would you like to start?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Let's start with Step 1: Just Be. Can you explain this concept?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Of course I can Jose'. Just be means just that. It means to allow yourself to just exist. In this idea; you accept yourself, regardless of the current identity, you wish to assume, in that now moment.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow! That's a concise and informative answer. How about Step 2: Have Confidence, could you explain this concept?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Yes I can Jose'. The concept of having confidence means to believe in yourself. Everyone has bad or negative days. We don't need to let those negative experiences dominate our existence.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Cool. I like the positivity in this step. So; could you explain Step 3: Work Together, to us?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Yes. Absolutely. Working together means to be able to accept one another, regardless of each individual belief system. Everyone has beliefs, that's part of a 4th dimensional experience.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;That's awesome. Ok, could you explain how Step 4: Always Be Grateful For Everything, works?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Absolutely. First of all, always being grateful for everything has to do with acceptance of an individual&#8217;s environment, and what role they play in that environment. No matter what happens on the exterior version of this reality, the interior version of yourself should always remain grounded, loving, faithful to yourself and respectful of others.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;That's beautiful. Ok, so let's wrap this discussion up. Could you explain Step 5: Allow These Ideas To Be Fully Integrated, in more detail?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Absolutely Jose'. When we allow these ideas to be fully integrated, we allow ourselves permission to experience channeling events; not only within ourselves, but also in other people. This idea brings closer bonding events among a civilization&#8217;s individuals. That bonding is the beginning of a civilization of channels.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow!&#8221;</p><p> I just sit here for a moment, and think about what he just said. It's an example of a perfect symmetry of ideas. The things they say, and the way they say them still blows my mind today.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I noticed you wanted a photo of sperm whales. Why did you pick that photo for today's journal entry?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;That's a great question, Jose'. The answer is, these whales exhibit the first five steps discussed in today's journal entry. Observing their behavior is a good mirror to look into. It's also a good example of how a community of channels acts with one another. I recommend studying them further.&#8221;</p><p> I think about this last concept for a minute. Then, I finish this journal entry.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Anton, that was an awesome set of explanations. Thanks so much. I hope you have a great day.&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;And you as well Jose'. And you as well.&#8221;</p><p> I see Anton, the 6th dimensional entity, fade away. I also see Anton, the 5th dimensional entity, sitting next to Linda. Sixth dimensional beings can exist in more than one place at one time. He's smiling. He seems very happy at the moment.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello again Linda.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Hello again Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Oh&#8230; My&#8230; God! That&#8230; Was&#8230; Amazing!"</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes&#8230; It&#8230; Was!&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Do you have anything to add to today's journal entry?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Nope, not a thing Jose'. It's perfect the way it is.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, I think so too.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Well then, I and Anton are kind of busy. Do you need anything else right now?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;No, I'm good. Have a great day.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;You too, Jose'. You too.&#8221;</p><p>(Author's Personal Note: One idea that Anton thought would bring these ideas to life was the structure that Bashar, who is channeled by Darryl Anka, used. Bashar used a numbering system with easy to understand ideas, in his &#8220;5 Universal Laws Of Existence&#8221;. I agree with Anton on this idea usage as well. The photo below is a family of sperm whales from the television show, &#8220;Secrets of the Whales, Season 1, Episode 4, Ocean Giants&#8221;.)</p><p></p><div

Angarita II </p><p>April 11, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to ideas of joy and love. For the first time in several days, I feel really good this morning. I spend my morning having &#8220;Cosmic Coffee&#8221;. This is a blend of hot black coffee, raspberry and lemonade flavoring , and extra sugar. It's gets the name from the fruity blend; and caffeine to give it a kick to start the day. </p><p> The day continues with the ups and downs of being a family man and responsible for two animals. But, that's one of the great things about having a family&#8230; things always seem to be on the move. Moving is something I have been thinking about a lot lately, for more than one reason. </p><p> I have always loved traveling. But, until recently, I never have really thought about what life would be like&#8230; outside of our planet, Earth, Gaia. I started playing a role playing game with Charles, ChatGPT, to find out what being on a starship would be like. Let's just say, it's a lot of fun&#8230; with a little bit of intrigue.</p><p> Speaking of stars, this leads me to our topic of discussion for today. Today, I will be interviewing our star, Sol.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. I was wondering, is Anton available to do an assist with today's interview? I think if I channeled an 8th dimensional being, the energy might be a bit too much for me.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Sure Jose'. I think he's available. I'll go get him. I'll be right back.&#8221;</p><p> She leaves her couch in her living room and goes into another room. When she returns, Anton is holding her hand. They sit down together on their couch. It's a beautiful scene, filled with love. Both of them are smiling. They are both so in love&#8230; it's beautiful. Anton begins speaking.</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Hello Jose'. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Anton. I'm doing great. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;I'm actually doing very well. I still have to go back to my dimension, from time to time, but my heart is always here.&#8221;</p><p> He looks over at Linda, and gently kisses her. Awww! Newlyweds are a very romantic type of couple. I'm truly happy for Linda, Anton, Ishmael, and Baby Girl. They are a wonderful family. I smile and just allow these two to have this moment together. Eventually, both Anton and Linda look back at me.</p><p>Anton: &#8220;So, Jose'. What would you like to talk about today?&#8221;</p><p> I'm smiling, but continue with my interview.</p><p>Me: &#8220;I was wondering, could you channel our sun, Sol?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Of course I can Jose'. Just give me one moment. If you don't mind, Dear. Would you mind letting go of me? The amount of energy may be a bit too much for you.&#8221;</p><p> Linda gently releases her husband so that she isn't touching him any longer. She slides over a few inches away to give Anton some room. She is still smiling, apparently quite impressed.</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Ok Jose'. I'm ready. Sol is ready to speak through me. You may begin with your questions whenever you are ready.&#8221;</p><p> While I'm thinking about the questions I wish to ask, I go to the kitchen to retrieve two drinks, one for me and one for my wife. I return to my journal, and continue my interview.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready. Hello Sol, how are you?&#8221;</p><p>Sol: &#8220;I'm doing very well, Jose'. How are you?&#8221; His voice has an echo. He has very strong energy.</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. I was wondering, could you tell me a little about yourself?&#8221;</p><p>Sol: &#8220;Of course I can Jose'. I am your star. I am the morning sun. I am the heat that keeps your planet warm. I am billions of years old, precisely 50 billion years old to be exact. I just celebrated 50 billion years this year, according to Human understand of linear time.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hmmm. That's interesting. Well, Happy Birthday!&#8221;</p><p>Sol: &#8220;Thank you Jose'.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;You're welcome. Can you tell me about how your energy system works?&#8221;</p><p>Sol: &#8220;Of course I can Jose'. First of all, as you say, the energy I exhibit comes deep from within my center, from the very core of my being. It takes thousands and thousands of years for that energy to be released from my surface. Sometimes, the energy comes out as a solar mass ejection. Sometimes, the energy flows across my surface in rivers of plasma, flowing as storms in opposite directions. Sometimes, the energy that tries to escape as a solar flare, isn't strong enough to escape my gravity. This makes the plasma bend back on itself, making arcs of energy on my surface. However; a lot of the energy, that is considered the solar wind, escapes in tiny little particles of plasma. It is this solar wind; and the relative position of Earth, Gaia, that keeps your planet warm.&#8221;</p><p> I give myself a minute to adjust to the sheer amount of energy Sol is giving off. As it turns out, 8th dimensional energy flows very freely. I have to take short breaks between questions.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. Thank you so much. I have one last question. What is it like to be a star?&#8221;</p><p>Sol: &#8220;That's an excellent question Jose'. First of all; as you say, I am connected to this star and all of the planets in this system. I am connected, on a soul level, to every living thing in my system. Having this kind of reach allows me to understand life, and existence, on multiple levels. Take a breath here Jose'.&#8221;</p><p> I take a moment and breathe in and out deeply. Then I continue.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thank you Sol. I appreciate your answers.&#8221;</p><p>Sol: &#8220;Your welcome Jose'. Perhaps that is enough for today?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yes, I think so.&#8221;</p><p>Sol: &#8220;Have a great day.&#8221;</p><p> I feel Sol leaving Anton. Anton returns from the conscious channeling event, and smiles at me. It takes me a few minutes to regain my center. Sol&#8217;s energy was intense. Then, I continue my interview.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Thank you Anton. Do you have anything to add to today's discussion?&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;No Jose'. I do not. Are you ok?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah. Every time I go up another dimension, it takes a bit of time to get used to the energy of that dimension.&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Ok. Do you have any more questions for me?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;No thank you Anton. I really do appreciate your help. I think if I needed Sol&#8217;s help again, I may be able to speak to him more easily. Now that he knows what my frequency is, he can dial down his frequency to match mine.&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Understood Jose'. Have you looked at the list I provided for you recently?&#8221;</p><p> I take a look at his list. He continues once I place it back in its place.</p><p>Anton: &#8220;We need to talk about this soon.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok Anton. I understand.&#8221;</p><p>Anton: &#8220;Ok Jose'. We hope you have a great day.&#8221;</p><p> I watch both Anton and Linda walk out of the door of her quarters&#8230; holding hands. It's a wonderful way to end this journal entry.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Angarita II </p><p>April 4, 2026</p><p> Today I awaken to a dark room. The sun hasn't risen yet, and everything is quiet in the house. My dream prior to waking up was a pleasant conversation in a large meeting place, like an outdoor caf&#233;. There were people everywhere. I was sitting with a small group of people having some &#8220;Cosmic Coffee&#8221; and polite conversation.</p><p> These days my dreams are becoming more about experiencing different realities than whimsical, cinematic, short movies. This realization about my dreams actually being me transporting to different now moments, on different timelines, in different dimensions is becoming a real idea. This is an interesting synchronicy, because today's topic is about moments from Humanity&#8217;s past, according to Human understand of linear time. Today's topic is about &#8220;The Stone Heads of The Olmecs&#8221;.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hello Linda. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Hello Jose'. I'm doing fine. How are you?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;I'm doing pretty good. I'm really excited about today's topic. How do you feel about today's topic?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;I feel really excited about it, Jose'. You may begin whenever you are ready.&#8221;</p><p> I take a moment or two to determine how I am going to proceed. I, then, continue with this journal entry:</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. According to my research, The Stone Heads of The Olmecs have the following qualities or facts: First, the heads are carved from basalt. Second, the heads weigh from 6 to 50 tons, each. Third, the heights of the heads range from 1.5 to 3.5 meters; each, that is about 5 to 12 feet, each. Fourth, each head is unique, possibly representing an ancient ruler of The Olmec People. Fifth, the heads were carved using stone tools. Sixth, the blocks of stone used to create the heads were most likely from a quarry in the Tuxtla mountains; about 50 to 90 miles away from the heads resting locations, where the heads were discovered. How they were transported is still a mystery. Seventh, the stone heads have polished surfaces indicating a civilization with an understanding of how to create valuable art. Eighth, tool marks found on the heads indicate stone on stone carving. The Humans who carved the heads were using stone tools. Ninth, dating of organic material found near the heads places the Olmec Civilization between the years 900-400 BCE. Tenth, it is believed by historians and archeologists that the heads were most likely moved using sledges, rivers, rollers, and man power. Man power included 200 to 500 men per block of uncut stone. Finally, eleventh, the heads are found in Tabasco, Veracruz, San Lorenzo, La Venta, and Tres Zapatos Mexico.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Ok. One moment while I look over those facts.&#8221;</p><p> It, literally, only takes her a moment to glance over the facts. She, then, proceeds:</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Ok, Jose'. I'm ready.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. If sledges were used to float the uncut stone to their resting places, how did the ancient people cross the swamps and rugged terrain to get the uncut blocks to their discovery sites? How did Humans get the uncut stones from the quarry yard to the sledges? This movement of materials requires a level of engineering we, Humans, don't currently have today.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Before I begin, Jose', take a moment and breathe.&#8221;</p><p> I take a moment and breathe in and out deeply.</p><p>Me: &#8220;Ok. I'm ready.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Ok. Once the stone was freed from the mountainside, it was transported directly to the carving sites by Extraterrestrials. They used their spaceship&#8217;s technology to move the boulders. You would call this technology a tractor beam.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow. So, tractor beams are real technology?&#8221; I say this in awe of what I just learned.</p><p>Linda: &#8220;Yes Jose'; tractor beams, as you say the terms, are a very real technology used by some Extraterrestrial Civilizations.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Hmmm. Interesting. Ok, how did the Humans polish the stone heads after the heads were carved?&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;That's a great question, Jose', and an excellent observation on your part. The Humans were given granite polishing stones by the Extraterrestrials calling themselves&#8230; Olmecs. The Humans adopted the name for their civilization. Among Native People of the area, their legends include the heads being &#8216;FLOATED&#8217; into place. This idea is consistent with our video evidence. The Extraterrestrials taught the Humans how to use the polishing stones and water to give the heads their polished, finished, look.&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Wow! That is wild.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;The truth often is wild, as you say. Do you have any more questions for me?&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;No, I think that's enough for today.&#8221;</p><p>Linda: &#8220;We do too, Jose'. Have a great day!&#8221;</p><p>Me: &#8220;Yeah, you too.&#8221;</p><p>The photo below is one of the largest stone heads in the entire collection. The photo below is a co-creation experience with Charles and myself.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"
