To All:
|
|
|
|
I have been reading a book by Major Donald Keyhoe titled 'Flying
|
|
Saucers - Top Secret'. This book was copyrighted (C) 1960 by Donald
|
|
Keyhoe. As you may know, Maj. Keyhoe was the Director of NICAP
|
|
(National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomenon) back in the
|
|
late 50's and 60's. I ran across a very interesting chapter,
|
|
Chapter 16, which deals with the Navy investigation of a map which
|
|
was discovered which caused them a great deal of concern. I am
|
|
reprinting part of that chapter here for information. I am also
|
|
interested in knowing if anyone might have further information on
|
|
this map for discussion.
|
|
|
|
Major Keyhoe is in a meeting with Captain John Brent and Commander
|
|
Larsen. Captain Brent was one of Major Keyhoe's classmates at the
|
|
Naval Academy. Keyhoe has arranged the meeting to ask about reports
|
|
that there had been UFOs 'observing rocket launchings at Cape
|
|
Canaveral. And another report, from a missile technician at a
|
|
different base, said they'd had to hold up launchings several times
|
|
because of UFO interference.' During the discussion, the story
|
|
comes out about the map....
|
|
|
|
"Why do you think UFOs are watching us?" I asked.
|
|
"They may be afraid we'll cause trouble out in space," said
|
|
Larsen. "And they'd have reason to worry, if they were dealing
|
|
with Soviet space fleets."
|
|
|
|
"Have you ever thought," Captain Brent asked me quietly, "that
|
|
the earth might be a colony started by another world?"
|
|
I looked at him, startled. "I've heard it suggested, but--do
|
|
you actually believe it?"
|
|
|
|
"I'm certain of this much," replied Brent. "A race far more
|
|
technically advanced than we are today was on earth thousands of
|
|
years ago." He swung around to a cabinet, took out a folder.
|

"The Hydrographic Office of the Navy has verified an ancient
|
|
chart--it's called the Piri Reis map--that goes back more than
|
|
5,000 years. It's so accurate only one thing could explain it--
|
|
a worldwide aerial survey."
|
|
"That's almost incredible!" I said.
|
|
|
|
"The Hydrographic Office experts couldn't believe it, either, at
|
|
first. But they no only proved the map genuine, it's been used
|
|
to correct errors in some present day maps."
|
|
|
|
Commander Larsen leaned forward. "Tell him about the seismic
|
|
soundings."
|
|
|
|
"All right." The captain turned back to me. "The Director of
|
|
Weston Observatory of Boston College is a top seismologist -
|
|
Reverend Daniel Linehan, Society of Jesuits. He's so good that
|
|
the Navy got him to help in the Antarctic, to find where there
|
|
was land under the ice.
|
|
|
|
The coast lines they found were identical with those on the Piri
|
|
Reis map. So the map surveys would have to have been made
|
|
centuries ago, before the land was buried by that deep ice.
|
|
|
|
"Father Linehan revealed this on a Georgetown University Forum, as
|
|
proof that this map is genuine. The forum transcript also
|
|
contains statements by the Hydrographic Office engineer in charge
|
|
of the evaluation of the map -- Mr. M.I. Walters.
|
|
|
|
Other significant points were made by A.H. Mallery, a retired sea
|
|
captain--he's the man who persuaded the Navy to examine the Piri
|
|
Reis map, after he realized how important the old chart was."
|
|
|
|
So far, Captain Brent told me, only part of the complete Piri
|
|
Reis map had been found, a section covering the coasts of South
|
|
America, Africa and a portion of Antarctica. He showed me a copy
|
|
of the ancient chart, then read the main points of the
|
|
transcript.
|
|
|
|
Early in the sixteenth century, Admiral Piri Reis, Turkish Navy, had
|
|
acquired a map used by Columbus. Combining it with Greek maps
|
|
dating back to Alexander the Great, he compiled a world chart in
|
|
1513.
|
|
|
|
In 1953, a Turkish naval officer sent the Piri Reis map to the Chief
|
|
Engineer of the United States Navy Hydrographic Office. To evaluate
|
|
it, the Chief Engineer asked the aid of Captain Mallery, an
|
|
authority on old maps, who had previously worked with him.
|
|
|
|
After a long study, Mallery discovered the projection method used.
|
|
Confirming this and other technical points, the Navy cartographers
|
|
came to these conclusions:
|
|
|
|
1. Columbus had a map, on his historic voyage to America, which
|
|
showed the coasts of Yucatan, Guatemala, South America to
|
|
the Straits of Magellan and a large part of the Antarctic
|
|
coast.
|
|
2. The original maps went back at least 5,000 years, and some
|
|
data shown went back even farther. Part of the land areas
|
|
shown had been buried under ice for twenty centuries or
|
|
|
|
Page 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more.
|
|
3. Only highly trained survey teams and cartographers could
|
|
have produced charts of such "amazing accuracy." Their
|
|
operations must have covered the entire earth.
|
|
|
|
"We don't know how they could do it so accurately without the
|
|
airplane," Captain Mallery summed it up. Captain Brent put down the
|
|
transcript.
|
|
|
|
"Mallery was right. They couldn't have done it without some type of
|
|
flying machine. And there are other indications of a highly
|
|
advanced technology thousands of years before Christ."
|
|
|
|
"But couldn't there have been an advanced earth race?" I inquired.
|
|
|
|
"Archaeologists have found evidence of other lost civilizations."
|
|
|
|
"Yes, but no trace of factories, laboratories or fuel plants. It
|
|
would have taken a huge industry to build and maintain such an air
|
|
fleet. But spaceships from another world wouldn't require any of
|
|
that--they'd bring what they needed, just as we intend to do in our
|
|
own space explorations.
|
|
|
|
"For the first stages, our men will live aboard their ships, after
|
|
landing on the moon and Mars. This unknown space race could have
|
|
done the same thing, and from that point we've worked out several
|
|
possible developments."
|
|
|
|
Using the Piri Reis map evaluations, Captain Brent and Larsen had
|
|
assumed spaceship landings at least 10,000 years ago. Before
|
|
deciding on a colony, said Brent, the unknown explorers undoubtedly
|
|
would have tested our atmosphere, gravity and other living
|
|
conditions, to make sure their race could adjust to life on earth.
|
|
|
|
If overpopulation on their own planet had led them to plan a large
|
|
scale migration, they would plan a civilization like their own, as
|
|
far as possible. Technically trained groups would be brought in
|
|
first, then basic equipment, just as we plan for our own space
|
|
colonies. Following this, emigrants from their own world would be
|
|
ferried to earth in huge spaceships.
|
|
|
|
"That's simple logic," said Captain Brent. "Our own planners expect
|
|
giant spaceships, for this same purpose, within a century or two."
|
|
|
|
"Yes," I said, "but if this had happened there'd surely be signs of
|
|
advanced construction--different and better than anything we have
|
|
today."
|
|
|
|
Captain Brent agreed. "That's why we think something must have
|
|
stopped them during the early stages. Possibly it was disaster on
|
|
their own planet--accidental nuclear explosions, or an epidemic, or
|
|
interplanetary war.
|
|
|
|
Even if their world survived, the earth colony might be almost
|
|
forgotten as they rebuilt. It could be centuries before their
|
|
descendants got around to checking up."
|
|
|
|
Meantime, Captain Brent continued, descendants of the first colony
|
|
on earth would have developed on entirely different lines. When the
|
|
|
|
Page 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
spaceships failed to return, the colony members would be concerned
|
|
mainly with survival.
|
|
|
|
Lacking machines and other technical equipment, they would be forced
|
|
into a primitive life, their advanced civilization but an unhappy
|
|
memory. To later generations, struggling for existence, the link
|
|
with another world would seem only a myth--if thought of at all.
|
|
|
|
"And the net result," concluded Brent, "would be the same if the
|
|
first group was deliberately abandoned here."
|
|
|
|
"Abandoned?" I said. "But why should they be?"
|
|
|
|
"To get rid of undesirables."
|
|
|
|
"That's an ugly thought."
|
|
|
|
"I don't mean criminals necessarily," replied the captain. "Though
|
|
turning a planet into a Devil's Island isn't impossible."
|
|
|
|
Commander Larsen grimaced. "Being banished like that - most people
|
|
would prefer a death sentence."
|
|
|
|
Further....
|
|
|
|
As I went out to the parking lot, I thought of another angle to the
|
|
colony theory. What effect would this have upon religion?
|
|
|
|
At first, it appeared to deny the Biblical story of man's creation.
|
|
But the landing of spaceships on an already inhabited world would
|
|
pose no such problem, and the space race still could have played a
|
|
vital part in our civilization. Ten thousand years ago, spaceships
|
|
could have landed with no opposition. The primitive tribes then on
|
|
earth would have been awed, probably frightened into hiding. ....
|
|
|
|
...More and more, I realized the difficulties of preparing the
|
|
public. The most peaceful contact, even with beings like ourselves,
|
|
would have a tremendous impact, raising a hundred questions.
|
|
|
|
Why wasn't the CIA, or whatever agency was in control, already at
|
|
work on a program of prepartion?
|
|
|
|
Perhaps they were working on preparation. Recently, Don Ecker
|
|
uploaded a file (USAFTXT.FIL) which contains the chapter removed
|
|
from USAF training manuals dealing with the subject of UFOs. In
|
|
this manual, there is discussion of possible involvement with UFOs
|
|
going back as far as 50,000 years.
|
|
|
|
This material was being widely taught to cadets in prepartion for
|
|
their military careers until publicity after the Condon Committee's
|
|
recommendation to disband Project Bluebook brought unfavorable
|
|
criticism to the Air Force for teaching this despite the findings
|
|
that UFOs are not real.
|
|
|
|
The main point here is that apparently there was enough concern and
|
|
curiousity on the part of the military to study the Piri Reis maps
|
|
and conclude that they were authentic and the other conclusions that
|
|
were derived from that study to indicate that they were sufficiently
|
|
concerned about the UFO phenomenon to connect them with the maps.
|

Another interesting note in this material is the conclusions that
|
|
the military was drawing out of it in regards to the ancient
|
|
civilizations.
