As the publication of the Gilroy’s latest UFO book, “The Energy Beings – UFO Abductions from Beyond
Time” draws near it is coming at the same time as an increasing number of UFO sightings across the Blue
Mountains and District heralds
Megalong, Burragorang another UFO
and Wollondilly ‘flap’.

North of the Grose Valley lies the vast Wollemi National Park, long steeped in UFO incidents and
once again the scene of increased sightings.
On the night of Friday 25 th May together with Dave Thomas and Ian Gilchrist I held a Skywatch out
on Narrow Neck Plateau. Nothing stirred from the underground base across the Burragorang and Megalong
Valleys. Then about 10pm as we were about to leave due to increasing cold, a bright, gold-glowing craft
suddenly appeared, moving at great speed across the sky from north to south on an horizontal course, to
disappear over the ranges to the south.
The following night, after our UFO Club meeting we three braved the elements in the form of a
heavy gale, to go out in Dave’s 4-wheel drive to Mt Hay north of Leura along the rough fire trail to the car
park just Skywatch
had, our south of Grose Valley. A beautiful

this is a good place for a Skywatch, if the powers that be do not block the area off to the general public which
now brings me to the subject of this article…
Back on the evening of Saturday 17 th September 2011 following our monthly UFO Club meeting our
usual Skywatch was held out on the ‘knoll’ at Narrow Neck Plateau, which gives a good view of Megalong
Valley to the immediate west and the Jamieson/Burragorang Valleys to the south.
The time was 6.50pm on a clear night when in the presence of Dave Thomas, Ian Gilchrist and
others, I drew everyone’s attention to a bright glow that suddenly manifested itself from the Cedar Creek

That same week other people saw mystery glowing objects rising up out of widely-scattered areas of
Burragorang Valley beyond the backwaters of Lake Burragorang, and also flying over Warragamba Dam to
the east late at night.
Following these sightings it is strange that many fire trails east of Wentworth Falls leading to, or
coming close to the dam and backwaters into Lake Burragorang, including Kings Tableland Road about the
halfway point before it reaches the lookouts were shut down to public vehicles and hiker/camper groups, for
up to a few days!

Indeed for some time now the Green Party–controlled City Council/National Parks
‘environmentalists’ have had a law that only hiking/camping groups no larger than six people are allowed into
the Grose Valley. Various bush trials leading into remote valley bushlands in areas throughout the Blue
Mountains once well-worn and popular, are either being closed for ‘safety’ reasons, or the public discouraged
one way or another from using them, while others have long become overgrown through disuse. It is
interesting that all these tracks lead into areas where either UFO activity is on
occasions frequent, or strange sounds are to be heard coming from beneath
the forest soil in remote regions!
The fact is that the Blue Mountains are being ‘shut down’ with people
either outright forbidden to enter some areas or else discouraged from doing
so.
Why the necessity for hidden security cameras along bush tracks and
fire trails into certain areas; and this includes the Mt Hay Road as Dave
Thomas has lately pointed out?

South of the Burragorang lies the equally vast Wollondilly Valley accessed on its eastern side from
Bowral.
For some years now there has been a ‘farming
community’ in that valley at its southern end, accessed by a
permanently locked gate. As darkness falls no house lights
appear and day or night there
are no signs of human
activity. Occasionally a
vehicle will enter the valley

then drive off along the winding dirt road to disappear into the far northern side of the valley, presumably to
an underground entrance, or sometimes, up the mountainside to the
gate, which he also checks, and sometimes drives off in the direction
of Wombeyan Caves.
That the ‘village’ is a ‘front’ for underground activities going
on in that valley is obvious. Many mystery craft have been seen to
emerge from the valley depths day and night or land in far off gullies
situated in ‘inaccessible’ regions.
The increasing restrictions to public movement in various
parts of the Blue Mountains, if pinpointed on a map, will show that
these areas lie in UFO-active areas. Few people are lately able to

******
The American-Australian top secret underground space travel technology centres and city-size living
areas, which parallel surface city and suburb construction have vastly expanded since the years following the
end of the Second World War, and the original purpose for these centres as nuclear weapon development
bases. Some form of contact with an extra-terrestrial civilisation is seen as the reason for the development of
a super-advanced space travel technology there which is far in advance of any current officially known
surface space travel developments on the surface.
It has been known for a long time that secret American FBI, CIA and Australian ASIO agents
connected with Base security are stationed across the Blue Mountains posing as ordinary citizens and that
other agents also live around Sydney. Their jobs concern various security purposes and also to keep any
mention of the existence of these vast complexes out of the media.
There are also agents who regularly leave small ‘doorway’ entrances in valley or gully locations beyond
towns such as Blackheath, Katoomba and lower Blue Mountains sites to visit shopping centres, hotels, clubs
and other popular community meeting places, gathering intelligence and no doubt carrying out investigations
on various “people of interest”. They obviously visit local secret agents here and in Sydney. These men, and
also women represent an entirely separate [underground] world to which we know on the surface. It is a
world whose original purposes have long since been supplanted by a vast, worldwide science-controlled
underground new order free of the dangers of surface life, and aimed at the colonisation of other Earth-like
planets far beyond our own.
Nosey people have been known to vanish in the wilderness areas wherein Base entrances are located,
and the locking out of the general public, the Bases inhabitants and their surface agents believe, will help
ensure their continued top-secret activities. The mystery deepens!

Although by the 17th century astronomers could calculate each planet's relative distance from the Sun in
terms of the distance of the Earth from the Sun (an astronomical unit), an accurate absolute value of this
distance had not been determined. In 1627, Johannes Kepler became the first person to predict a transit of
Venus, by predicting the 1631 event. His methods were not sufficiently accurate to predict that the transit
would not be visible in most of Europe, and as a consequence, nobody was able to use his prediction to
observe the phenomenon.
1639 – First scientific observation
Jeremiah Horrocks makes the first observation of the transit of Venus in 1639, as imagined by the artist J. W.
Lavender in 1903.
The first recorded observation of a transit of Venus was made by Jeremiah Horrocks from his home at Carr
House in Much Hoole, near Preston in England, on 4 December 1639 (24 November under the Julian
calendar then in use in England). His friend, William Crabtree, also observed this transit from Broughton,
near Manchester.
Kepler had predicted transits in 1631 and 1761 and a near miss in 1639. Horrocks corrected Kepler's
calculation for the orbit of Venus, realized that transits of Venus would occur in pairs 8 years apart, and so
predicted the transit in 1639.
Although he was uncertain of the exact time, he calculated that the transit was to begin at approximately 3:00
pm. Horrocks focused the image of the Sun through a simple telescope onto a piece of paper, where the
image could be safely observed. After observing for most of the day, he was lucky to see the transit as clouds
obscuring the Sun cleared at about 3:15 pm, just half an hour before sunset. Horrocks' observations allowed
him to make a well-informed guess as to the size of Venus, as well as to make an estimate of the distance
between the Earth and the Sun. He estimated that distance to be 59.4 million miles (95.6 Gm, 0.639 AU) –
about two thirds of the actual distance of 93 million miles (149.6 million km), but a more accurate figure than
any suggested up to that time. The observations were not published until 1661, well after Horrocks' death.
1761 and 1769
In 1663 Scottish mathematician James Gregory had suggested in his Optica Promota that observations of a
transit of the planet Mercury, at widely spaced points on the surface of the Earth, could be used to calculate
the solar parallax and hence the astronomical unit. Aware of this, a young Edmond Halley made observations
of such a transit in 1676 from Saint Helena, but was disappointed to find that there had been only one other
observation of the event and was not satisfied that the resulting calculation of the solar parallax at 45" was
accurate. In a paper published in 1691, and a more refined one in 1716, he proposed that more accurate
calculations could be made using measurements of a transit of Venus, although the next such event was not
due until 1761.
Halley died in 1742, but in 1761 numerous expeditions were made to various parts of the world so that
precise observations of the transit could be made in order to make the calculations as described by Halley —
an early example of international scientific collaboration. In an attempt to observe the first transit of the pair,
scientists and explorers from Britain, Austria and France travelled to destinations around the world, including
Siberia, Norway, Newfoundland and Madagascar.
Most managed to observe at least part of the transit, but successful observations were made in particular by
Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mason at the Cape of Good Hope.
On the basis of his observation of the transit of Venus of 1761 from the Saint Petersburg Observatory,
Mikhail Lomonosov predicted the existence of an atmosphere on Venus. Lomonosov detected the refraction
of solar rays while observing the transit and inferred that only refraction through an atmosphere could
explain the appearance of a light ring around the part of Venus that had not yet come into contact with the
Sun's disk during the initial phase of transit.
For the 1769 transit, scientists traveled to Hudson Bay (Canada), San José del Cabo (Baja California, then
under Spanish control), Tahiti,[23] and Norway. The Czech astronomer Christian Mayer was invited by
Catherine the Great to observe the transit in Saint Petersburg with Anders Johan Lexell, while other members
of Russian Academy of Sciences went to eight other locations in the Russian Empire.
In Philadelphia, the American Philosophical Society erected three temporary observatories and appointed a
committee, of which David Rittenhouse was the head. The results of these observations were printed in the
first volume of the Society's Transactions, published in 1771.
Observations were also made from Tahiti at a location still known as "Point Venus".
This occurred on the first voyage of James Cook, after which Cook explored New Zealand and Australia.

atmosphere than is possible from either viewpoint alone. This will provide new information about the
climate of the planet.
Spectrographic data taken of the well-known atmosphere of Venus will be compared to studies of
exoplanets whose atmospheres are thus far unknown.
The Hubble Space Telescope used the Moon as a mirror to study the light that bounces off Venus to
determine the makeup of its atmosphere. This technique could also be used to study exoplanets .
Earth will have the best seat — the only seat — for a great show: the Transit of Venus across the face of the
Sun.” — Surely there are transits visible on other planets, if anyone were there to see them. Wouldn’t Transits
of Earth (and Venus) occur on Mars (obviously at different times).
In non-news, an Earth-mass planet, tentatively named Sol c, will be discovered transiting the nearby star
of Sol at a distance between 0.5 and 1.0AU. Analysis of absorption spectra will indicate carbon dioxide and
nitrogen in the atmosphere. As the planet lies within the Goldilocks zone, the presence of atmospheric

much like Earth with oceans
and maybe even primitive life before the rising solar luminosity created a runaway greenhouse effect.
So put Earth where Venus is and it would ultimately end up almost exactly like Venus – which has a surface
temperature of 480 degrees Celsius or 860 Fahrenheit* – and where’re eventually heading in that direction as
our Sun slowly brightens over hundreds of millions of years. Before our Sun quite becomes a red giant or, I
think, even a yellow sub-giant, Earth will no longer be habitable and will closely resemble our hellish sister
planet.
Mind you, when Earth becomes like Venus I hate to think what Venus itself will be like!

A spokesman for Airservices Australia, which managed aviation traffic, said they had not had any reports of
unusual objects on Monday afternoon.
"We have had no reports of any unidentified flying object activity over the greater Sydney area
on Monday evening,'' he said.
"However, at just before 5pm on Monday, there were a number of commercial aircraft
operating.''
