Coming back to orbs, ufo’s, shape-shifters, atmospheric fauna and fleets. The late John Keel wrote as a newspaper reporter all about parallel realities running along side us. It’s told in stories within the Cherokee and Hopi culture. and many more original, indigenous cultures. Specifically in New York, John Keel describes this vintage sighting in The Mothman Prophecies.
“Another kind of Man in Black haunted Brooklyn, New York, in 1877-80. He had wings and performed aerial acrobatics over the heads of the crowds of sunbathers at Coney Island. A Mr. W. H. Smith first reported these strange flights in a letter to the NEW YORK SUN, September 18, 1877. The creature was not a bird, but a ‘winged human(oid) form.’
“This flying ‘man’ became a local sensation and, according to the NEW YORK TIMES, September 12, 1880, ‘many reputable persons’ saw him as he was ‘engaged in flying toward New Jersey.’ He maneuvered at an altitude of about one thousand feet, sporting ‘BATS WINGS’ and making swimming-like movements. Witnesses claimed to have seen his face clearly. He ‘WORE A CRUEL AND DETERMINED EXPRESSION.’ The entire figure was black, standing out sharply against the clear blue sky… Imagine interviewing those witnesses?
There are also sightings in the infra-red, (Trevor James Constable) His first book, “They Live In The Sky” in 1958, in which he advanced the shocking theory that UFOs were mainly invisible. He held also that our atmosphere was the home of huge, invisible living creatures, and that these were mutually confused with spacecraft when they became visible.
Then you look at the night vision footage of Prophet Ezikel and others. This film however is all daylight footage.
The skies are inspiring in New York, there’s a wide range of moods, it’s raw beauty and bleak. What is it about the higher elevations that have called mystics to ascend toward mountain caves for insight? Have this atmospheric fauna always been around?
Tell your friends who are interested, and come out to see the film at the Film Anthology Archives June 26 – - 4pM.
