Re-read your opening sentence. <br /><br />As to appropriateness: who knows? I've skimmed Heim's speculations several times in my life and have never been able to understand them, nor find physicists that I trust to tell me that he was making sense. This doesn't mean that he'll not ultimately be recognized a brighter than Einstein, just that almost no one yet thinks that he is. <br /><br />In UFOlogy, we get esoteric physics papers all too regularly which claim to see things that the big wheels have missed, and which coincidentally solve the mystery of anti-gravity and UFO propulsion. There was a fat folder at CUFOS packed with the ones that they bothered to save. Almost all of these use some electromagnetic field orientation to accomplish the trick. Only once did I ask my friend Hal Puthoff to look at one of these things and his polite response was luke warm at best. <br /><br />But maybe Will will want to roll up his theoretical physics sleeves and take Heim on, as you requested.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-85677442865956374292011-11-25T09:37:41.136-08:002011-11-25T09:37:41.136-08:00No?

I'm with you...Hi, buddy, nice to hear from you. I'm with you on all that about the tiny Tinkerbells. I don't pick them up in any of my readings of early stuff either. It could be that Theosophical-sorts of things like their Deva Flower Entities have something to do with the "modern" imagery. Also, if these experiences are generated by paranormal entities, maybe they can shift into this form "with the iconic tide". <br /><br />Whatever, I'm close to putting part two up, out of this first 100 cases, and it will emphasize things that snuck into the UFO case files [one of your own contributions to Ted's HUMCAT I believe is in this set]. A lot wilder and whackier than the Tinkerbells as you'd expect. You'll have known of most all of these, but putting them together in a one-after-the-other reading might even inspire you to write another book [and quit slacking in Canby --- Hah!!].

In the tradition -- shameless plug: there's a big chapter on it, focused on alleged direct experiences, in my most recent book, Hidden Realms -- fairies did not have wings, though they were usually small. Wings came from outside the tradition, in Victorian children's literature.<br /><br />On the other hand, perhaps the reports you cite validate my suspicion that these experiences are filtered through consciousness in some anomalous sense, garbed in images from whatever the current or surrounding cultural expectation of a supernatural encounter is.<br /><br />Anyway, as you know, I love this stuff, and I know you do, too.

Given your interest in faerie...Hello, Mister Will! Given your interest in faeries and UFOs and the like, I think you might find the following bits of information interesting. Hopefully it's not too long-winded or boring. Even though it starts off about FTL travel, I promise it does relate to Faerie folk lore.<br /><br />A few summers ago I was reading up on Heim theory. It allows for the possibility for faster-than-light travel via the use of a powerful electromagnetic field to pop a ship into a higher-level state. This higher level state isn't a different dimension, but rather the bits of our universe that exist "above" our own and aren't directly observable. <br /><br />This higher-level bit of the universe would have some properties that differed from the bits we hang about in. The maximum allowable energy level would be higher, which means matter/energy systems would be bigger, move faster, and time would seem to go by much more quickly. <br /><br />The whole trick for FTL travel would be that we could kick ourselves up to that energy level, travel for a bit, then drop back down to the contiguous location in our bit of the universe. The transit would have taken us quite a ways without much time having passed in our world.<br /><br />It's just a theory, of course, but the idea of suddenly appearing in a world, traveling a straight line, and then disappearing reminded me of the old stories about faerie roads. Afterall, if we can bump ourselves into a higher-level bit of the universe as a way of travelling great distances, why can't something from a lower-level universe also pull the same trick?<br /><br />So, I started thinking about that. If the higher level bits are bigger, more energetic, and time moves by much more quickly, then surely the opposite would be true for the realms "below" ours. Folklore contains many stories of people who spent an hour in a dim, cool fairy mound only to find that days have passed in our world.<br /><br />Also, if the fey rely on a method of electro-magnetic field manipulation to pull off this trick, then encountering very strong EM fields in our world might actually prove pretty dangerous. That might explain their alleged aversion to iron.<br /><br />It doesn't explain everything, of course, but I thought it was an interesting way of looking at it.Human Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-15391624089709991432011-11-22T14:30:02.337-08:002011-11-22T14:30:02.337-08:00Hello, Will:

In other words, the olde folks, generally speaking, were correct. <br /><br />I believe that changing religious views have polluted the old concepts, but the encounter stories themselves rise above that interpretive level and stay pretty consistent across time [take away dress code]. <br /><br />I also believe that the UFO files have been polluted by cases which belong with the Faerie World. Whether that pollution is mainly "our" fault, or "their" fault, or the UFOnauts' fault is the big [unanswerable] question. <br /><br />Hope you have a fine Thanksgiving. We certainly have much to be thankful for, including this VERY interesting Universe. Looking forward to seeing you soon.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-40910106782036816282011-11-22T06:20:49.329-08:002011-11-22T06:20:49.329-08:00I've been very much in Loch Ness mode lately, ...I've been very much in Loch Ness mode lately, reading and rereading the tomes. The Scots seemed to class the "water-horse" in with fairy or supernatural entities, with kelpies being one thing and sort of morphing over time into water-horses, which are often folklorically said to come ashore and graze in the manner of a regular horse. If folklore connects water-horses to fairies, and we recognize some level of "reality" to this realm, than maybe we're a step closer to thinking outside of the box and understanding the Loch Ness riddle. As I continue my survey of water-horse folklore, it seems to be a common theme to many a loch, where the creature appears from time to time over the years, perceived more as an omen than a flesh-and-blood creature -- though that didn't stop some crofters from trying to catch or poison the troublesome beasties!<br /><br />Sounds like you've been busy and look forward to hearing about it in a few weeks.
