Latest UFO Activity on the Blue Mountains and Western Suburbs.

By Rex Gilroy. Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006. On Saturday 4th November, at 3.20pm, Mr Oliver M sighted a bronze-coloured hat shaped saucer-type craft, hovering high above Campbelltown for about five minutes, before it moved off westward at a slow pace which increased to a phenomenal speed as he continued watching. The craft passed high over the Kanangra Boyd National Park region. Earlier on Thursday October 5th Mr Scott D. of Werrington, phoned me to report a strange greyish craft that looked like it was covered in rivets. There was a row of long and circular glowing lights extending around the centre of this circular craft, which he spotted with binoculars hovering over Emu Plains for several minutes as it appeared to coast north-west over the Blue Mountains. The time was about 4pm and he watched the craft from his front yard. He alerted neighbours who also saw it. During early September a massive disc-like UFO was reported seen by campers to a National Parks and Wildlife Service ranger out at Lithgow. The six young men who saw the craft told him that they watched it hovering over Mt Cloudmaker, to the south of Kanangra Walls, around 5pm one afternoon a couple of weeks before. The craft moved off slowly northwards to vanish over the trees of the Kanangra Boyd Plateau. The sketches describing the craft seen I have copied from originals. They are typical of the shapes reported seen throughout the Blue Mountains over the years. One description stands out because of the age of the report. On Tuesday 14 th November 2006 I received a report from Mrs Gladys W. of Bellevue Hill, now in her mid-80s. She told me that, back in 1930, about February, a big silver object was seen by her and her sister, brother and parents hovering high in the sky about cloud level over the Grose Valley. Other people saw it too and everyone was wondering what it was. The time might have been about midday and it was much bigger than a house in size we were sure. The best way to describe it is that it looked from where we stood at the Govetts Leap Lookout watching it in the eastern sky, it looked like a big triangle with the top flat. It sat there in the sky for a long time, perhaps half an hour and attracted a lot of attention from the people that were there. It eventually started to fly off towards Sydney, she said. -0-

ET Encounters and Descriptions.

By Rex Gilroy Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006. 3

Back in July 2003, Annette La Rosa, a Western Australian artist, told me that at midnight outside the town of Waroona, on the 21st May 1994, two beings of the appearance described in sketch No 1 approached from out of a paddock a vehicle with four passengers inside it. The people were at the time just leaving a friends house, when the dark figures appeared. Beyond in the moonlight the people spotted a dark object standing in the paddock from which these strange beings had emerged. A torch was flashed at the two figures as they approached the vehicle, and it was then that the passengers realised that the beings were clothed in plastic-like, blue-grey body-clinging garments, and that they had thin necks and large heads for their 5ft heights. At the instant the torch beam hit them they turned and ran back into the paddock to the object, at which, as the people watched, it lit up and with a loud roar shot off eastwards gaining height to disappear into clouds. In another incident, which took place back in 1927, a Mr Cecil McGann saw a saucer at Fernvale New South Wales [Murwillumbah area]. That same year at orange a farmer saw a saucer-type craft which landed in a field in broad daylight. Out of it emerged three weird beings of the description shown in the sketch. The large craft had the appearance of a Mexican sombrero with a high, pointed dome. As the men watched from some distance away the three beings proceeded to collect soil samples from the ground with some kind of digging implements, then returned to the craft through a side door from which they had emerged. Shortly afterwards the craft rose with a hissing sound and zoomed westwards high over the surrounding hills. The farmer later described the strange visitors as having heart-shaped faces and long trunk-like noses. He did not see their mouths due to the distance. They were clothed in dark, tight-fitting garments, with high neck collars. The man thought they had hands and fingers similar to ours and very large boots. The sketches shown here are copies from originals. -0-

ETs and the Inner Earth.

By Rex Gilroy Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006. Much has already been said about the top secret American-Australian joint underground advanced space technology bases, whose entrances exist in the Burragorang, Wollemi and Newness wildernesses. There are, however, other bases not constructed by Earthlings, it is claimed by some and which are argued to have been the work of extraterrestrial colonists, and these ET bases are said to occur over a wide area of Australia. We can find evidence of these bases as far back as ancient Aboriginal myths and legends, which coming from various parts of Australia, even in the Blue Mountains, speak of culture heroes from the stars who came to earth to inhabit either vast cave systems, or else an underground world which they constructed themselves. Any tribespeople who happened to venture too close to one of the entrances to this underground world, ran the risk of being seized by the inhabitants, and taken down into this world never to be seen again. Aborigines in Central Australia believe they will die from some mysterious force if they attempt to penetrate hidden tunnels that exist in the ranges thereabouts, and which lead down deep beneath the earth. The inhabitants of this particular troglodyte world are said by the Aborigines to be dwarf-like, greyish-skinned and with Asiatic-like features.

This reminds me of the small greyish being which in the form of a mostly invisible presence, followed me on my return hike from Hanging rock, overlooking the Grose valley outside Blackheath, on the late afternoon of Friday 18th April 2003. The area concerned has long been the scene of similar experiences of other visitors to the site. It is also the area where, in local old tribal tradition, a race of culture heroes once descended from the Sky World in a great canoe which broke up, or for one reason or another could not fly them back to their home in the sky World, forcing them to remain here. They made a home for themselves beneath the earth and their spirits still guard the areas, say the Aborigines. Similar beliefs were held by the former tribespeople of the Molong-Wellington region of central western New South Wales. Here even locals speak of gases which continually escape from apparent tunnels deep beneath the earth, which the tribespeople believed extended for untold miles, and were inhabited by an alien race. Returning to Central Australia, Aborigines believe that there is an underground city, untold thousands of years old, lying deep below the surface. It is said to contain apparent spacecraft and mummified remains of the former inhabitants, while others lie in a time-suspension state awaiting rejuvenation at some future date! South Australian researcher, Mr Barry Laven, informed me in 1981, that underground tunnel systems of apparent immense age were discovered during mining operations, by copper miners in the Burra district. The tunnels were believed to extend for miles. Their discoverers sealed up the tunnel which had broken into these ancient operations after an investigation by miners. It is said that the ancient tunnels were circular in construction, with a diameter of 30ft [9m] and a fused glass-like substance coating the surface throughout, giving the appearance of having been cut out of the rock by tremendous heat. It is said these tunnels resemble others found in Russia, Equator and North America. Also dating back untold thousands of years. The South Australian tunnels were discovered by Cornish miners in the 19th century, and some later claimed to have encountered little people who apparently lived in an underground world into which these tunnels led! It is obvious that these underground complexes are separate of the advanced space travel technology research centres [such as those now being operated by the American/Australian scientists and military] of the Blue Mountains and elsewhere in Australia. It is a mystery all its own to be covered at length in a forthcoming Gilroy UFO book. -0-

New Egypto-Phoenician discoveries.

By Rex Gilroy Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006. Evidence continues to grow, demonstrating that Australia, the fabled lost paradise, was colonised by peoples from the Old World, thousands of years before the advent of European explorers of the 1600s onwards. Within recent weeks Heather and I, together with Greg Foster, have recorded some amazing new finds leaving no doubt that the Sydney district was, at various times down through the ages, home to Egyptians, Phoenicians, Celts and Spaniards, long before the arrival of the so-called First Fleet in 1788! My training of Greg to follow in my footsteps has paid off well, as he continues to sniff out ancient sites! On our latest adventure on Thursday 2nd November 2006 Greg led Heather and I to an ancient inlet location in the vicinity of the Parramatta River where he had earlier uncovered old Spanish Latin rock script. Bashing our way through shoreline mangroves alongside waterfront homes, Greg and I stumbled upon something far older, in the form of two inscribed sandstone slabs, the inscriptions upon which were Bronze Age Egypto-Phoenician with an interesting tale to tell in translation. The fact that the inscriptions were a mixed language demonstrates that a former colony of Egyptians and Phoenicians had occupied the Sydney area during the Bronze-Age somewhere between 2000 and 1400BC. In the course of time through gradual intermixture of races and cultures they also created a new mixed written language, in the same manner in which this was happening elsewhere in Australia at this time. This led to the creation of an entirely new culture, which not only included Egyptians and Phoenicians, but also Libyans and later Celts [who appeared on the scene around 1600BC]. Other Middle-Eastern nationalities were also probably along for the ride, as suggested by over 1,000 rock scripts alone gathered by the Gilroys across Australia over the years. A full account can be found in Pyramids in the Pacific The Unwritten History of Australia [URU Publications 2000], and also in our forthcoming Pyramids of Destiny Lost Colonies of the Bronze-Age God-Kings [URU Publications due out in late 2007]. Having recorded and photographed these latest inscriptions, I was able to translate them later that night. The first slab, measuring 1.5m in length by 1m in height and 18cm in depth bore the symbols of a hammer, an all-seeing eye, and other letterings which read: The Temple foundations have been well and truly laid for Ra, whose eye sees all. Hail Ra. On the flat land grain is grown by the people of overseer Naga. The second slab, which measured 90cm in length by 90cm in height and 20cm depth, bore the image of a trireme-type ship, a serpent and mushroom images among other glyphs which read: The placing of the corner stones for the Temple of Ra the Sun has been supervised by Mama/ Ma-na makes offerings of mushrooms. Ships bring settlers to till the soil of the settlement. Mama seems to have been an official, perhaps the architect concerned with the temples construction, while Ma-na may have been a high priest or some other important official. Like the overseer Naga, their names had not been 5

spoken for perhaps 4,000 years before I revealed them in translation. The two slabs lying 30cm apart, thus revealed the construction of a temple dedicated to the Egyptian solar deity Ra, which would have been the centrepiece of a farming colony, whose traces, like the long-vanished temple, now lie buried beneath over 200 years of British settlement and modern housing along the Parramatta River. The Sydney colony, as from previous writings of mine, has been shown to have covered an extensive region encompassing the Hawkesbury-Nepean-Georges Rivers, which together with the Cental coast colony was all part of one mighty colony, indeed Kingdom, ruled by locally-created Pharaohs going back 5,000 years. It will be revealed in full in our forthcoming Pyramids of destiny book. Some distance from these two slabs, Greg and I came across an ironstone shoal rock bearing further unmistakable Egypto-Phoenician glyphs. These glyphs were engraved within an area measuring 1.2m length by 82cm in width. They included the glyphs for a ship, pillar, symbols depicting the sun and Ras Land among others. The translation revealed the following: Labadas declares that the placing of the pillar of King Ta-ya-ga, brought here by ship, has been completed, to honour Ra, the Supreme sun, on Beltane*. For the Sun, on the prepared ground, for Ra whose light shines on our land, it has been erected in place by Yana [*May Day] Here I had revealed not only the name of the obvious scribe who carved this message, but also the name of a former king [ie Pharaoh] of this kingdom. But how big was the pillar erected by Yana. Does it lie buried somewhere in this area, or has it long crumbled away? We may never know. It is a pity that the ancient scribes of these messages scattered across Australia, almost without exception, have failed to leave us descriptions of their rulers or themselves so that we might get some idea of their appearances. Similar finds awaited me a few days later when heather and I returned to the far south coast colony site containing a stone wharf, pyramidal beacon, two massive solar-worship pyramids and the nearby quarry from where the stone was excavated for these structures. The surrounding settlement whose outlines, along with all these other structures, now lies far inland from the coast in dense rainforest. Here, where earlier inscription finds have been made, together with our south coast field assistants, Antji and Allan Westrip, I uncovered further inscriptional information, which will be the subject of another article in the Temple of Nim newsletter. What exciting times we are having uncovering these relics of our hidden history! -0-

Spaniards in Sydney Before 1788.

By Rex Gilroy. Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006. On the same day that Greg Foster and I uncovered the Phoenician inscriptions Thursday 2 nd November 2006 Greg had other finds to show me in the form of old Spanish inscriptions, a massive weathered stone head, and an Aboriginal rock engraving which appears to represent a Spanish soldier! The head is a modified carving, the artist making use of natural cracks and strata lines in a huge sandstone rock near the edge of the waterfront. Greg had discovered another, much smaller, relief carving of a human head in a Parramatta River cliffside some time previous. It was in the vicinity of the head that Greg wanted to show me the Aboriginal rock carving of a human figure measuring 1.8m in length. When we reached this spot, the faded condition of the image in some places made chalking in of the faded grooved outline necessary. 7

However, nearby upon the same sandstone rock shoal Greg found ancient letterings which, when chalked in, revealed them to be ancient Latin shorthand and the date August 1542 [August represented by the letter G]. The inscription is believed to state roughly: To the West land we settlers in galleons arrived here in the galleon Vittoria in August 1542. The shorthand inscription was probably carved by a crewmember. The theory is that, Aborigines having seen the Spanish colonists, and a soldier in armour in particular, engraved a crude image of him after the inscription was made. A feature of the Spaniard is the sword depicted beneath his right hand. Similar images are known from other sites at Wollongong, the Colo River and Gosford district. There can be no doubt that Spanish explorer-colonists were present in the Sydney district long before Cooks arrival in 1770. There is for example, the famous 1912 discovery at Bondi, of Lawrence Hargrave and Norman Lindsay, of the Latin doodle [ie shorthand] inscription beside the outlines of two ships stating: We in the Santa Barbara and Santa Isabel claim this land from point to point by the sign of the Cross. The two ships are believed to have been the same two of those names which became separated from the five ship expedition of Alvarao Mendana De Neyra, sent from Callao, Peru on February 1595 in a last desperate effort by the Spanish government to find and claim Australia for Holy Spain. The Santa Barbara and Santa Isabel became separated from the fleet in the Ellis Islands and were never seen again. The theory is that they sailed 2,000 miles off course to find our east coast, entering Botany Bay and Sydney Harbour 175 years ahead of James Cooks arrival. In 1936 a Spanish rock inscription came to light at the mouth of the Georges River. About this time an old Elizabethan period morion helmet was uncovered at East Hills near the river front, and in 1968 workmen dug up a number of old Spanish doubloons from the pre-Mendana period at Macquarie fields. There are many more traces of apparent pre-British settlement by Spanish colonists lately turning up in the Sydney Harbour backwaters and further inland, and Greg Foster and I are contributing to increasing the amount of this evidence, with a number of important finds made over the last few years. More than enough evidence already exists however, to prove that Australias east coast once saw the sails of many ships of Spain. Why the colonisation efforts failed was due to a number of reasons [found in Pyramids in the Pacific], but had Spain succeeded, we could very well have been speaking Spanish today! -0-

Hominid Skull finds.

By Rex Gilroy Copyright Rex Gilroy 8

As this newsletter goes to pres I am able to report to our Club members some remarkable new discoveries which further pushes back the age of Man on this continent. Unfortunately photos are not available but these will be presented in another forthcoming article in which new conclusions concerning human evolution in Australia will be presented. True, they are the conclusions of the author, but then I always invite my readers to draw their own conclusions. However, as the evidence mounts, it is becoming clear even to some university palaeoanthropologists that our Aboriginal people were mere late-comers on this landmass, having been preceded by forms of Homo erectus, which I now maintain evolved here first. More than one academic secretly harbours the politically incorrect view that, [based upon obscure evidence of their own] that Homo erectus was present in Australia by 1 million years ago! I believe the latest fossil evidence presented here doubles and triples the age estimate for hominid presence on this ancient landmass, as the following argues Over the past couple of years Greg Foster has made some significant finds pointing to Homo erectus presence in the Sydney Basin. These finds include a number of badly deteriorated ironstone skull-types of undoubted archaic [ie flat cranium] Homo erectus, pointing to hominids of up to 1.5 metres tall on average, although one faceless specimen suggested a much larger example of up to 2 metres in height. On Thursday 12th October 2006, Greg and I explored a creek in Sydneys west, now mostly dried up. The stratification consists of a Pliocene sandstone floor covered by Pleistocene deposits up to 3.66 metres high, consisting of hard-packed sandstone/ironstone rubble and clays, representing the full 2 million year history of the Pleistocene period. It begins where the sandstone shoal lies, this representing the end of the Pliocene period, which ending 2 million years ago extends back 5 million years BP [Before Present]. The ironstone skull is incomplete, with only a 9cm length portion of the flattish cranium surviving behind the thick, projecting, incomplete brow ridges. The right eye socket is largely missing, although the left socket is remarkably well preserved. The nasal and upper jaw area has been distorted leftwards due to geological pressures early in its burial. The specimen came from base Pleistocene rubble from which it had recently become dislodged. We came across the specimen upon leaving the car where Heather was waiting. We had no sooner reached the creek edge than Greg bent down and just picked up this lump of rock. Taking one look at it I realised that Greg had in his hands the oldest Homo erectus skull so far unearthed in Australia or Australasia for that matter! The specimen, although lacking the rear braincase, resembled very closely the much larger ancestral Homo erectus ironstone skull-type with a pointed sagittal crest still visible and some faded teeth sockets on the upper dental arch. Discovered by me on Thursday 6th January 2005, out on Narrow Neck Plateau, Katoomba, in the base gravels of Pleistocene period strata, where the Pliocene period gave way to the Pleistocene [as shown in harder sandstone deposits beneath], the fossils braincase had been crushed into the rear of the facial section somewhat giving the appearance of a round [ie brachiocephalic] skull-type, when normally it would have been a long, narrow braincase [doliocephalic] as reconstruction has shown. This fossil, dating to 2 million years BP, belongs to a proto-Homo erectus group whose origins must date back into late Pliocene times, perhaps by 1 million years. It was from this group that archaic Homo erectus evolved. Gregs skull-type shows that the archaic Homo erectus form was already present by 2 million years ago, suggesting a far earlier origin of proto-Homo erectus than presently suggested. ***** Following hot on the heels of Gregs find, Heather and I spent a weekend with our south coast field assistants Antji and Allan Westrip, who accompanied us to the Bega district volcanic plug, dated by vulcanologists as having ceased erupting 7 million years ago. It was from here of course that I have already recovered two mineralised volcanic ash endocasts of a race of ancestral hominids. My hope is to one day fill in the remaining approximate 4 million years gap between these smallish-size beings and the proto-Homo erectus. As photos of these fossils have still to be prepared I shall report further on them in a forthcoming newsletter. Naturally publication of these photos on the net will produce the expected attacks from certain individuals who havent even examined them, and who also wish to preserve the out of Africa dogma, which is a dying theory in the wake of findings that the earliest, scientifically recognised, fossil primate remains, show Eurasia, and not Africa to have been the birthplace of our primate ancestors. Of course I possess 17 million year old Miocene slate fossils of two bipedal feet [fragment] impressions and a right hand impression displaying a thumb located far back from the other fingers, which are longer for grasping tree branches. These fossils, unearthed by me at Mt Victoria on August 9th 1969 are politically incorrect dynamite, as are the 7 million year old skulls and all the other pre-Aboriginal specimens in my possession for that matter! What the Mt Victoria fossils suggest, is that our primate ancestors were already adopting a terrestrial existence by 17 million years ago in Australia, whereas African primates were only leaving the trees around 6 million years ago; and of course a race of ancestral hominids were already present in Australia by 7 million years ago. The earliest modern humans [Homo sapiens] in Africa only began appearing around 150,000, perhaps 200,000 years BP [Before Present], whereas here in Australia I have good fossil evidence for the earliest primitive modern humans having evolved from Homo erectus by at least 500,000 perhaps 800,000 years ago. The reader can see the full, updated picture in the Gilroys new book Out of the Dreamtime the Search for Australasias Unknown animals [URU Publications 2006]. Sensational as all this evidence must seem to many people, for so long brought up on the Out of Africa dogma, I believe the evidence speaks for itself. We must now begin thinking Out of Australia for our modern human origins! 9

Next Issue: More surprises, and of course your valuable reports. Our previous meeting was a huge success and we look forward to seeing another big roll-up at our next one. There should be some good Skywatches ahead of us up here at Katoomba, weather permitting. Meanwhile, theres a lot happening up there at present so, until our next meeting Watch the Skies! Rex and Heather.
