According to Indian media reports, units of the Indian Army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP) have reported UFOs in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir. An ITBP unit based in Thakung, close to the Pangong Tso Lake, reported over 100 sightings of luminous objects between August 1 and October 15 this year.

In reports sent to their Delhi headquarters in September, and to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), they described sighting "Unidentified Luminous Objects" at day and by night. The yellowish spheres appear to lift off from the horizon on the Chinese side and slowly traverse the sky for three to five hours before disappearing.

These were not unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS), drones or even low earth-orbiting satellites, say Army officials who have studied the hazy photographs taken by ITBP.

In September, the Army moved a mobile ground-based radar unit and a spectrum analyser-that picks up frequencies emitted from any object-to a mountaintop near the 160-km-long, ribbon-shaped Pangong Lake that lies between India and China. The radar could not detect the object that was being tracked visually, in dicating it was non-metallic. The spectrum analyser could not detect any signals being emitted from them. The Army also flew a reconnaissance drone in the direction of the floating object, but it proved a futile exercise. The drone reached its maximum altitude but lost sight of the floating object.

In late September this year, a team of astronomers from the Indian Astronomical Observatory at Hanle, 150 km south of the lake, studied the airborne phenomena for three days. The team spotted the flying objects, Army officials say, but could not conclusively establish what they were. They did, however, say that the objects were "non celestial" and ruled out meteors and planets.

Scientists however say, the harsh geography and sparse demography of the great Himalayan range that separates Kashmir Valley from Ladakh, lends itself to unusual sightings. "The region is snowbound in winter, has few roads and is one of the most isolated places in India," says Sunil Dhar, a geologist at the government Post Graduate College in Dharamshala, who has studied glaciers in the region for 15 years.

Yet, none of the experts from the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO)-in charge of technical intelligence-and Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO), has been able to identify the objects. Source

Samudra Tapu Valley Lake Humanoid Sighting   

There is still also no explanation, however, for what is believed to be the clearest UFO sighting yet, which was sighted over Lahaul-Spiti region of Himachal Pradesh less than 100 km south of Ladakh.

Tucked away high in 15,000-ft glaciated mountains, Chandratal, the only sacred lake in the Lahaul-Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh , has for long been steeped in mythology. Legend has it that the crescent-shaped pristine water body is an abode of fairies who descend on Earth on moonlit nights.

It was the penultimate day of a week-long expedition undertaken by Ahmedabad-based Space Application Centre (SAC) of ISRO on September 27, 2004. The team comprising three SAC scientists and two geologists had pitched camp in the valley some 17,000 ft above sea level. They were studying the Chandra basin glacier using satellite data. Around 6.45 a.m., as the scientists were preparing to leave their tents, one of the porters spotted a white object on top of an adjacent mountain ridge, and screamed: "Sir, the snow man is coming."

Anil Kulkarni, a senior ISRO scientist who has been mapping glaciers for a quarter century, and his team members saw what appeared to be a robot floating a few inches above the ground, approaching the camp along the mountain slope. Kulkarni and his co-researcher, geologist Sunil Dhar, pulled out their digital cameras and began shooting the object even as the team raced towards the mountain to investigate.

The oblong object, between 3 and 4 ft high, kept moving down the slope towards the team. It had a cylindrical head with two balloon-type attachments, a body, hands and two legs. It seemed to be walking, planting and pacing its steps like a human being,  recalls Dhar. It seems when the object reached the lower edge of the hill, 50 m away from the stunned scientists, the team members excitement alarmed it. It stood still for a few seconds, turned and started a steep 70-degree ascent towards the ridge top. By this time, apparently due to the rays of the rising sun, its colour had changed to black. Soon it changed to white again, hovered above the camp for five minutes before noiselessly receding into a white dot in the sky. Ever since 1947 when businessman Kenneth Arnold sparked off a worldwide UFO mania reportedly spotting flying discs, thousands of fake sightings have been reported from across the globe. It would have also been easy to write off the Samudra Tapu sighting as a mistaken aerial phenomenon except that it was observed and reported by a group of scientists willing to stick out their necks and reputations to swear by what they saw.

From the photographs, the UFO looks like a bunch of balloons caught in a mountain draft, but an SAC report claims the object displayed complex manoeuvrability. It is a riddle beyond human perception, says Dhar who, along with Kulkarni, has contacted robotic labs across the world to determine what is technologically possible in unmanned flying vehicles.  It didn't look like a man-made object, adds geologist Rajesh Kalia. Even more incredible is the photographic evidence.among the first in India for a UFO sighted on the ground. of the experience classified as a close encounter of the first kind in common UFO parlance. Was it an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a cross-border spy mission or an extraterrestrial being? Or was it simply a helium-filled weather balloon which had lost its way? The jury is still out.

The scientists circulated the account of their close encounter in ISRO, army headquarters, Snow and Avalanche Study Establishments (SASE), an affiliate of Defence Research and Development Organisation which runs weather monitoring stations in high altitude regions, and among district authorities in Kullu. The army and SASE are the only agencies stationed in high altitude areas.

I thought it was a helium balloon, but Kulkarni's description indicates an object with ahead-of-age technology, says R.N. Sarwade, director, SASE.

Perplexed, the scientists are now wondering if it could be something man-made.  But there is no known matching technology yet in the civilian realm to explain the mysterious object we saw so up close, says Kulkarni. Over the past year, Kulkarni and Dhar have been critically examining their sighting to deconstruct the object technologically, contacting top robotic laboratories in the US, Germany and Sweden. Kulkarni has shared his report with the director general of military operations. Efforts to demystify the Samudra Tapu UFO sighting have made little headway, given the sheer high altitude, heavy snow cover and peculiar weather conditions which render the snowbound region virtually inaccessible for both air and ground expeditions.

But the quest for demystifying the sighting has not stopped.  One way to understand the mysterious object is to undertake more expeditions in the area,  says Dhar. But the question is whether the object will ever be sighted again?  Unless the sighting is repeated, it will remain a puzzle, says Kulkarni. Till that happens, this is an enigma scientists may have to live with.

- GREETINGS DEAR SPACE BROTHERS DEPARTMENT -

Unraveling the Secret Life of the Mysterious George Hunt Williamson

    George Hunt Williamson, one of the major players on the UFO contactee scene of the 1950s, continues to be a shadowy, hard-to-define personality in the years since his death in 1986. He embodied a great deal of the contactee era's optimistic faith in Space Brothers as the saviors of our planet and would be crucial to the formation of a large portion of accepted New Age doctrine. But he also had ties to a neo-fascist organization and was investigated by the FBI as a possible communist propagandist. He claimed degrees in anthropology that could never be verified, even while he traveled throughout the Americas collecting legends and stories from various indigenous peoples about visits from those same Space Brothers and their help in establishing functioning tribal communities. He would change his name to suit the occasion, sometimes calling himself Brother Philip, or by the Serbian moniker Michael d'Obrenovic.

    Who was the real George Hunt Williamson? A complete answer to that question may never be totally forthcoming, but some recently updated and expanded books offered by Timothy Green Beckley's Global Communications may help shed at least a little light on the subject.. One of the new releases is called "The Saucers Speak: Calling All Occupants of Interplanetary Craft," and the other is entitled "Traveling the Path Back to the Road In the Sky." They both contain the complete text of the original titles by Williamson as well as new and updated material from Beckley's stable of writers, myself included.

    Williamson was born in Chicago in 1926, the son of George Williamson and Bernice Hunt. As a youth, George Hunt Williamson had a variety of psychic experiences, which climaxed with a vivid out-of-body experience in his late teens that led to a lifelong interest in the occult. One online posting entitled "Tracks In The Desert" said it would be a huge error to categorize Williamson solely as a UFO researcher because he was "above all an occultist whose activities helped to usher in a new magical era, the era of the flying saucer. No attempt can be made to understand him or his work unless this fact is first taken into account."

    Williamson did at least attempt to earn a degree in anthropology from the University of Arizona, but it has been claimed he was thrown out because of a poor scholastic performance in early 1951. While there, he had read the 1950 book "Star Guests" by William Dudley Pelley. He relocated to Noblesville, Indiana, where he took up an editorial position with "Valor," the monthly journal of Pelley's "Soulcraft" organization.

    At the time Williamson made his acquaintance, Pelley was enjoying a new lease on life, having recently been released from prison after serving an eight-year sentence for his wartime opposition to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was a former fascist who had led an organization called the Silver Shirts. He also had a deep interest in the occult and compiled 32 volumes of automatic writing on contact with higher intelligences, a quite fascinating bit of information when you consider that the German National Socialist Party - i.e. the Nazis - also harbored an immense interest in the supernatural, and had even successfully attempted to establish contact with a group of extraterrestrials through automatic writing. Pelley was a profound influence on Williamson, and is believed to also have had a relationship with contactee George Adamski, who would prove to be another important figure in Williamson's story. Meanwhile, charges of being a neo-fascist would dog Williamson for the rest of his life.  
    
Whether or not he was officially affiliated with an accredited university research program, Williamson wrote in his book "The Saucers Speak: Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft," that in 1951, when he was in his mid-20s, he was doing anthropological field work in northern Minnesota among the Chippewa Indians and had already gathered many legends of the tribe. The stories included tales of "Earth Rumblers" and "Flying Wheels" and "Flying Boats" and the sacred "Little People," who appeared in ancient times to the Chippewa and taught the natives better ways of living, then faded away after the arrival of the white man. But at the time, Williamson related none of that to the flying saucer phenomenon that was puzzling the entire world.

    That is until one rainy afternoon when he began to read a paperback edition of "The Flying Saucers Are Real" by early UFO expert Major Donald E. Keyhoe. Williamson compulsively read the whole book in one sitting, so fascinated was he by the stories told by the retired naval officer who had once been a ghostwriter for aviation ace Charles Lindberg. Keyhoe wrote about a UFO event that had taken place in Tucson, Arizona, witnessed by thousands. Williamson recalled being on the scene of that sighting himself, and soon a new understanding of reality began to form in his mind. He suddenly understood that human life existed throughout the universe, and that the Creator had not restricted the pinnacle of his creation to only Planet Earth. He also began to gather Chippewa Indian stories and myths with this new, more serious outlook, looking now for stories that felt connected to his newfound interest in the saucers. He found many such stories among the Chippewa, and would soon discover that almost all Native American peoples and so-called primitive people throughout the world shared nearly identical legends of being visited and helped by beings from the stars.

    Williamson rejoined his wife in Prescott, Arizona, who had been conducting her own anthropological research in Tucson. She concurred that the stories she had gathered fit into the flying saucer mold, and the couple began to read about UFOs voraciously, consuming all the current literature on the subject.


    Late that summer, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred C. Bailey of Winslow paid a social call on the Williamsons. Williamson had enjoyed a correspondence with the Baileys on subjects like anthropology, ancient history and philosophy. They also shared an interest in flying saucers, and conjectured together as to whether the saucer occupants could master earthly languages. Just for the sake of entertaining themselves, they did an experiment with automatic writing, letting a spirit guide their hands across the paper to see what words were produced. They didn't relate the occult parlor game to the aliens right away, but it would come to be a deep and fascinating fixation for all of them.

    When it occurred to the two couples that the aliens were in fact trying to communicate through automatic writing, the earthlings assembled a homemade Ouija board and began to receive longer, more complicated messages.

    "Good and evil forces are working now," said one alien through the board. "Organization is important for the salvation of your world. Contact us as soon as you can. There is a mass of planets in the organization. Why are your peoples unbelievers? You have begun the research. The time is up to you! Look up into the skies above you. We are friends of those interested, but we are not interested in those of carnal mind. By that we mean the stupid preservation of self; disregarding the will of the Creative Spirit and His Sons."

    After sending several similar sounding messages on the Ouija board, the aliens suggested that they try to switch the method of contact to radio.  Williamson and Bailey then sought to find a radio expert to work with, finally acquiring the help of (skeptical but willing to try) ham radio operator "Mr. R," who asked that his real name not be used since the work involved attempted contact with flying saucers and he feared all the ridicule that comes with it. 

    Almost immediately, the small group began to receive coded signals, something similar to Morse code, but nearly impossible at times to unscramble and translate. As time passed, Mr. R was able to work out bits of what was being "said" by the aliens, but the messages were still short and hard to understand. One intelligible message received through the radio set said "Look for a dark spot in the sky," repeated three times. The listening crew stepped outside and did indeed see a strange dark object toward the south in the Milky Way. The object stayed visible in that position for about an hour and then moved on. There were numerous other instances when the warnings sent by the aliens were possible to verify in real world terms, and a bond of trust and friendship began to grow up between the aliens and the humans.

    At one point during the proceedings, the aliens promised to land and hold a face-to-face meeting with Williamson and company. A landing site and an exact time were agreed upon and the Williamsons and Baileys even packed a picnic lunch to take with them on the trip. Unfortunately, the two-car caravan got separated and lost, and the hapless mortals were unable to get there for the appointment. Williamson wrote that they had missed the chance of a lifetime. Not deterred for long however, the Williamsons and Baileys would move on to California and their new friend, George Adamski.

    George Adamski was the best-known of the "four guys named George" among the mid-1950s contactees. Besides George Hunt Williamson, the others were George King and George Van Tassel. The Williamsons and the Baileys heard about Adamski's commune at Palomar Gardens in Southern California and the alien-based religion that Adamski was preaching, so they made the journey from Arizona to meet him. They witnessed Adamski telepathically channeling and tape-recording messages from the friendly humanoid Space Brothers who were said to inhabit every planet in the solar system.

    The Williamsons, the Baileys and two other Adamski disciples claimed to be witnesses to Adamski's famous meeting with Orthon, a handsome blond man from Venus, near Desert Center, California, on November 18, 1952. When Adamski began to reap major publicity after he told reporters about the meeting with Orthon, triggering an explosive growth in the membership of his cult, the Williamsons and Baileys continued to rely mainly on their Ouija board sessions to receive their own personal revelations from the Space Brothers. The conflict over channeling led to a drastic falling-out with Adamski.

    All of this was not going unobserved by government, however. In the newly expanded version from Beckley's Global Communications, "Traveling The Path Back To The Road In The Sky," prolific British writer and researcher Nick Redfern - now living   in the U.S. full time - contributes an excellent chapter on the life of George Hunt Williamson that provides the details, gleaned from declassified FBI files released under the Freedom of Information Act, of the government's then-covert pursuit of Williamson for possible communist ties and leanings.

    "To understand how and why George Hunt Williamson became a person of interest to the FBI," Redfern writes, "it's highly important to note the climate that existed in the United States in the early 1950s. This was, of course, the formative years of the   Cold War, the Soviet Union was perceived as being the next big threat, and Communism was seen as downright evil."

     FBI surveillance of George Adamski began in 1950, according to the files unearthed by Redfern. Adamski was considered to be an outrageous subversive, and is alleged to have said that the alien form of government was very different from the democracy of the United States and was most probably a Communist system. Adamski also predicted that Russia would dominate the world, which would usher in a 1,000-year era of peace on Earth.


    "One does not have to be a genius," Redfern writes, "to realize that Adamski's assertions that his long-haired alien friends were nothing less than full-on Russia-loving Reds led the FBI to elevate its secret spying on the man to a whole new level."

    George Hunt Williamson was known to espouse similar ideas, claiming that his very own Space Brothers communicated with him by Ouija boards. This was a fairly common state of affairs according to the FBI, who received similar reports from various sources claiming that human-looking aliens walked among us, that they were Communists, and that their method of contact seemed to utilize the occult, such as Ouija boards, as well as advanced science. An alternative FBI theory was that the Communist extraterrestrials weren't visitors from other worlds at all but were instead the outcome of Soviet mind control experiments on unsuspecting U.S. citizens who were led to believe they were having real-life experiences with aliens who wanted to tell us how wonderful Communism is.


    The complicated but fascinating machinations surrounding Williamson's period under the scrutiny of the FBI - as revealed exclusively by Nick Redfern - is perhaps better saved for readers of the book. To provide a rather condensed summation, it involves a claim by one contactee that the aliens had revealed to him a new technology that could catastrophically bring down U.S. military aircraft from the skies. The contactee, one Karl Hunrath, visited other contactees like Adamski and Williamson, at first mixing easily with fellow believers. One January morning at Adamski's home, with Williamson and others in attendance, Hunrath boasted of his ability to destroy the U.S. Air Force's aerial armada in a flash with the secret alien weapon. Adamski became worried that the information might get back to law enforcement officials, so he ordered the group to leave and never return. One of the attendee's wives, having heard about Hunrath's boasting, called the Air Force and the FBI, who descended on Adamski's home that same day, incorrectly thinking that Adamski had the rumored weapon in his possession.

    Later that same year of 1953, Hunrath and fellow believer Wilbur Wilkinson took to the skies in a small plane to rendezvous with the aliens in the California desert and were never heard from again. Their disappearance received local newspaper coverage, including the attendant theory that their vanishing act was the work of aliens.  

     When Williamson spoke publicly on the Hunrath-Wilkinson affair, his words were carefully noted by the FBI. In 1954, Williamson and Al Bailey published their own   book "The Saucers Speak," - now part of Beckley's expanded collection - which chronicled their attempts to contact the aliens through shortwave radio and Ouija boards, and Williamson found himself increasingly in demand on the lecture circuit. When he shared a bill with contactee Truman Bethurum, who claimed to have met the beautiful Space Captain Aura Rhanes of the planet Clarion, another "Communist alien," the investigation of Williamson went to a whole new level.

    "The FBI paid careful attention," Redfern continues, "to who - in the saucer scene of the time - Williamson and Bethurun were speaking, what the then-current line of thinking was with regards to their claims of alien contact, and the potential impact of their planned lectures. In other words, both men - unbeknownst to them - were having pretty much their every move watched by the secret eyes of officialdom."

    In 1962, Williamson was suspected of being involved in the smuggling into the U.S. of priceless Mexican artifacts of an historic and archeological significance. A confidential source for the FBI informed them that the Mexican government intended to arrest Williamson if he ever chose to reenter the country. Large pieces of jade and gold were among the goods allegedly stolen, valued at around $100,000. Since the crime took place in Mexico and was out of the FBI's jurisdiction, they decided to drop the matter altogether. But Redfern points out that the documents relevant to the thievery are heavily censored with the same degree of classification given to documents with a potential effect on U.S. national security, which would hardly seem appropriate to the mere theft of Mexican antiquities. 

    "Unless of course," Redfern writes, "there are additional files on Williamson that the FBI has still yet to declassify, and which remain behind closed doors for reasons tantalizing and unknown."

    Williamson was and still is a man of mystery, as one can easily see after reading Redfern's history of government surveillance of the UFO believer. Meanwhile, while his academic credentials as an anthropologist remain unproven, one cannot deny that Williamson did an impressive amount of field work among the indigenous peoples of North, Central and South America. His work is chronicled extensively and in great detail in the just released "Traveling The Path Back To The Road In The Sky."  (Williamson, Redfern, Casteel)


     Of particular interest is Williamson's comparison of the contact made by the Hopi Indians of the American Southwest and the story of Moses in the Old Testament. Both the Hopis and the ancient Israelites were delivered from bondage by the intervention of their respective versions of God. Like the Israelites, the Hopi were nomadic for a time while they awaited the sign from above that they had reached the Promised Land.

    "Massau (the deliverer of the Hopis) had told the people," Williamson writes, "that when they saw bright fires on the mesa tops and a Great Star hovering over the area, they should stop and build their villages on the mesas where the fires were seen, and the land under the Great Star would be their new country."

    Massau then left but promised to return as their "Great White Brother" to deliver and purify the people once again. In another similarity to the story of Moses, two sets of sacred stone tablets were prepared by Massau. One set was presented to the Hopi leaders, while Massau took the other set with him. He told the Hopis that in his absence they must look after the land he had given them and obey his laws as set down in writing on the stone tablets. Massau breathed life into the laws on the tablets and they became a living testimony to his will. One is immediately reminded of Moses returning from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments written in stone by the finger of God.

    This story embodies the classic patterns of both the Ancient Astronauts theory and the study of comparative religion but I don't know of anywhere else that this particular story has been told. Which adds further weight to the argument that, for all his faults, Williamson was a genuine and compelling researcher of ancient aliens who was decades ahead of his time. "Traveling the Path Back" is full to the brim with other similar stories of great interest to those who believe the aliens have been here since prehistoric times and have led all the world's civilizations at some point in their early development. 
 
    While he lived among the Native-American peoples he researched, Williamson  called himself "Brother Philip," probably for the sake of simplifying his identity to the indigenous peoples and showing himself to be similar to the harmless priests and missionaries the natives were already familiar with. Williamson  published  two more books - which have been slightly retitled by the publisher who has reset the type, added more illustrations/photos as well as the contributions of other kindred souls - "Secret of the Andes And The Golden Sun Disc Of Mu,"  and Other Tongues: Other Flesh Revisited! - after which little is known about his life until his death in January of 1986.

Both "The Saucers Speak: Calling All Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" and "Traveling the Path Back To The Road In The Sky" are heartily recommended for the enlightened truth seeker and those who take an historical interest in the contactee movement of the 1950s. It is from the roots planted by George Hunt Williamson and others of his time that many of our current UFOlogical and New Age beliefs have blossomed. He deserves to be both remembered and read by the current UFO community, and these reprints from Global Communications are a good place to start.
