Our Last Meeting..

Our last meeting was a big success, despite the foul weather that descended upon us. It was nice to see so many people turn up for our meeting despite the bad weather. It just goes to show that bad weather is no barrier to people who come to our meetings knowing they are going to have a good time. The film show up in the cinema, which included the latest Blue Mountains UFO reports, latest Cryptozoological reports concerning the Blue Mountains so-called Big Cats [ie giant marsupial carnivores]

and other news had everyone glued to their seats. Had the bad weather not put an end to our Skywatch plans we would have made our first visit to the new location out beyond the Water Board gate on Narrow Neck Road. The clifftop concerned affords a magnificent view of the cedar-Burragorang Valleys/US secret space technology underground base site etc. and I have already made many sightings from this spot. Lets hope the weather behaves itself for our next meeting when we can walk out to this splendid location.
Excitedly I returned to Heather, waiting for me at the Water Board gate to show her my find. I returned to the site the following afternoon with Cuddles to properly sketch, measure and photograph the site. I did not get a chance to complete this work for, as I stepped back from the embankment to take a long shot of the strata, I fell over Cuddles, who had decided to sit down on the road behind me. The force of the fall dislocated my right shoulder besides striking my elbow on hard ironstone!

Narrow Neck Peninsula, which could change By Rex Gilroy . Copyright Rex Gilroy 2005. th On Thursday afternoon 6 January, while Australias history walking my dog Cuddles out on Narrow Neck Road, I chanced to see an unusually shaped rock projecting from the roadside ironstone rubble embankment. Upon closer inspection I saw what appeared to be a thick brow ridge and eye socket. Excitedly digging around the rock with a stick, I soon held a deteriorated, solid mudstonetype mineralised hominid skull in my hands. I knew that the ironstone rubble belonged to the 2 metre or so deep strata known to have been deposited over the Blue Mountains throughout the Pleistocene period, which lasted from about 2 million to around 10,000 years BP [Before Present], which suggested that I had of stone-age occupation of this continent. unearthed a fossil of considerable age. Photo copyright Rex Gilroy 2005.

In agony I got to my feet and, with my left arm I quickly grabbed my backpack, placing sketch folder, cameras and other equipment inside it, and with my right arm held outward, made a quick, painful return to the gate where Heather drove me straight to Katoomba Hospitals Emergency ward where another hour of agony awaited me before I was put under and the shoulder reduced. Nobody will ever be able to say that I do not work hard for my discoveries! I returned to the site on Thursday 13th January, my arm in a sling [without Cuddles], accompanied by Greg Foster. We completed the photography and measurement of the skulls

The surface [soil] strata is at least 40cm deep hereabouts, covering the last 10,000 years, below which lies the ironstone rubble and mineralised soil of the Pleistocene period, being 1.64metres deep at the point where the skull was unearthed. The deteriorated condition of the skull shows that, at some time in the dim past after it had been buried and become mineralised, it had been re-exposed on the surface ages later, where the elements had not been kind to it, explaining the many pit-marks and hollows in it. Eventually it became buried again, where it remained until exposed again by time and weathering to be found by me. As is usual with such fossils, the skull had been subjected to some distortion caused in the early stages of burial. Once moisture in the soil had softened the bones these began to break in places, chiefly in the braincase where soil had not had time to fill the interior to act as a solid deterrent to collapse. As a result the braincase was crushed, what

remains having been pushed forward into the frontal section of the skull, thus crushing the maxilla on both sides. The remains of the upper dental arch can still be detected, the lower jaw at some stage having become detached from the skull. The frontal section of the left eye socket and brow ridge is missing, this section of bone having fallen away with a section of the left cranium. However, the remains of the right thick, projecting brow ridge and large eye socket can be seen, as well as a sagittal crest, rising up across the centre of this flattish cranium. Had it bee intact, the skulls shape would have been doliocephalic [ie long and narrow], in the manner of Homo erectus. There is a projecting muzzle. Yet the sagittal crest, and also the appearance of the large eye sockets, which tend to bulge outwards to left and right from the skull, unlike any Homo erectus skull-types so far discovered by me in Australia, suggest that this skull is something different. The sagittal crest itself is a rarity, being found only in a few archaic Homo erectus skulltypes in Asia and Europe, although it is found in archaic Australopithecine specimens from Africa. So how old is this Katoomba hominid fossil? According to Australian Museum Sydney geologist some years ago when studying a fossil hominid foot from Wentworth Falls, the

Blue Mountains UFO Research Club Newsletter February, 2005.

5 A small area beneath the cranium escaped soil filling to reveal a cranial bone thickness of about 1cm. The robust appearance of the skull, with its thick, projecting [right] brow ridge suggests it to have been a male hominid. What remains of the skull provides the following measurements: The fossils length from muzzle to rear of remaining skull is 20cm; the skulls rear being 16cm in depth, the frontal section 17.5cm in depth, with a width of 21.5cm. What remains of the sagittal crest is 1cm tall by 2cm width. Judging from the right eye socket measurements both sockets would measure 6cm in width by 3.5cm in height. What remains of the upper dental arch measures 7cm in length by 9cm in width. There may, or may not be remaining signs of three or four tooth sockets. Had the skull been intact it is possible to arrive at an approximate height of about 1.6metres for this hominid. ***** The Homo protoerectus skull is not alone, for at another nearby location of the road on Saturday January 1st 2005, I recovered a distorted, child-size brain endocast of ironstone, and for many years I have been recovering crude ironstone eoliths [ie dawn tools], hardly recognizable except to the trained eye. These tools, if that is what they appear to be, consist of primitive chopping, cutting and scraping implements. Often recovered from the deposits of the Pleistocene roadside embankment, they favourably compare with others of their kind found elsewhere in Australia as well as in ancient hominid sites in Asia and Africa. The road was cut through to the far end of narrow Neck Peninsula during 1962-1963. At the site of the skulls discovery it cuts deep into the slope of a rise that drops into a deep gully which, from south to north, follows the base of the road to the northern cliffs of the Neck. In the dawn mists of the Pleistocene where the road now extends was the shoreline of a swamp that extended the full length of the rise, from the southern to the northern cliffs of this section of Narrow Neck Peninsula. Crude eoliths recovered about its former shoreline suggests that groups of primitive Homo lived here, drinking the water and hunting what appears to have been a rich abundance of marsupial and other wildlife that inhabited the forests here. Yet, with the close of the Pleistocene and the drying up of the swamp at some stage, erosion cut deep to create the sloping, deep gully of today.

mineralisation process can vary; for example, limestone, mudstone or calcrete mineralisation can take up to 200,000-250,000 years BP, while ironstone and basalt mineralisation well over that time scale. These are however, very guarded and conservative estimate s made by scientists too often unprepared to commit themselves on such problems.

We can at least say that the Narrow Neck skull had to have first been buried no less than 200,000 years before it somehow resurfaced to become so badly weathered. It then lay in the base, deposits of the very dawn of the Pleistocene period until reexposed in modern times. These deposits, say geologists, date back approximately 2 million years BP. The skull is far older than any Homo erectus specimens yet found in Australia, and its primitive features, particularly the sagittal crest, tend to place it in an earlier, pre-erectus era. On these grounds I have identified it as a preerectus ancestral race and named it Homo protoerectus Gilroyi; the evidence suggesting that Homo erectus evolved from this race around 2 million years ago, its ancestors origins stretching back at least into the late Pliocene period of around 3 million years ago! If the above is true, Homo erectus evolved first in Australia, and not in Africa, in turn to evolve into the earliest modern humans here [as deduced from previous fossil finds of mine], these races to subsequently migrate northwards to spread out across the earth. *****

On Sunday 2nd January Heather, Ann Taylor and I made a trip into the forest country behind Lithgow. Searching along a track already explored last September by American Cryptozoologist Todd Jurasek, we uncovered a number of enormous tracks, faded in dry sand. Even so, reasonably good casts were obtained of two specimens. These tracks however were enormous, being 19cm in width across the four toes, by 16cm length from toes to back of rear pad. The rear pad was 8cm wide by 6.5cm long, the tracks being 2cm in depth. These massive tracks were considerably larger than the The waterhole where Glen and Rex searched average 13cm wide by 15cm long smaller unsuccessfully for panther tracks Photo panther species tracks.

This beast has been identified from tracks cast out on Narrow Neck Peninsula in April 2003, at the time of the Blue Mountains Lion scare when tracks were discovered in the same area. It can safely be estimated that this giant is up to 2.6m from head to tail tip, standing about 95cm on all fours. Recently Glen Johnson and I made a search in the mountain country behind Lithgow where he had previously There is yet one more monster marsupial, a five toed giant whose tracks measure an average 23cm length by 22.5cm width across the toes and 16cm wide at the back of the pad. Recently Glen Johnson and I made a search in the mountain country behind Lithgow where he had previously found panther tracks. We searched the mud around a remote waterhole without success, although some large indistinct tracks were found on a remote 4-wheel drive road in the vicinity of a pine forest. It was while in this forest that Glen thought he spotted something black moving through scrub some distance away. While he went in pursuit from his end I left the forest and running along a nearby road with camera at the ready, hoped to catch sight of the mystery shape as it emerged out of the forest into an adjoining swamp. The creature, whatever it was, did not appear. Had it been a panther? It is hard to say, but there is no doubt that these marsupial giants are present thereabouts. Perhaps our next joint search hereabouts will be more successful.

--0 Major Uru Discovery in the Wattagan Mountains.

By Rex Gilroy. Copyright Rex Gilroy 2005. Having spent Christmas with our friends Bob and Meg Tipping, at their Morriset home [and prior to them coming to Katoomba to spend New Year with us], Megs son Steven McCulloch of Nundle, drove me up into the nearby Wattagan Mountain Range on a search for evidence of giant monitor lizards. However, when we reached a remote track deep inside the range, we soon forgot about the lizards, when I stumbled upon a ruined megalithic ironstone structure. For the past 20 years or so I have believed that the Uru once settled this region. Before the day was out, with a second discovery hereabouts, by belief was vindicated. Searching amid the fallen stonework of this remarkable find I realised it to be the remains of a small temple. Erected upon a northwest southeast axis, with Stevens assistance I measured the structure at 10.4 metres length by 4.8m width. At the southeast end we uncovered two large altar stones, one bearing Uru script, erected 3.3m apart. Amid the ruins we also turned up three votive offering stones. One bore the weathered carving of a human head on one side, and on the other the Uruan inscription: Ina and the message: On this ground to the temple of Nim an offering is given, one of I-na. The second inscribed stone found bore the message Pa, the elder, to the Sun, an offering.

9 the altar being covered in large to smaller glyphs, which I afterwards translated to read: Behold Nim, Nim at this place, the Temple of the Suns Brilliance. In praise of Nim the Sun, at this altar, to Nims face pour libations. After recording the site we drove on along another remote road to a clifftop, where while exploring the scrub near the cliff, I came across a mass of rubble. It appeared to me that the ironstone rubble once formed another temple. In the rubble we soon recovered another four inscribed stones. One of these was a large, 35cm tall by 26cm wide and 8.5cm thick stone bearing a human head on one side with Uruan letterings that read: Mourn King Ui-ga-da. Another 13cm tall by 16.5cm wide stone bore a head with the message King Imi. It had probably been left with an offering at this temple site, as was another, 18cm tall by 13cm wide stone bearing a female head and glyphs reading Queen Ra-mi, the royal life-giver of Uru. The other carved stone was a little 11cm tall by 5.2cm wide bird head image carved on one side with glyphs on the other stating: Offering to I-na at the temple of Nim.

The third stone bore a female head and the message : An offering made by Queen Sygu. On a nearby track I afterwards turned up another, large stone head, bearing the inscription: Mourn Sy-da-I, a King of Uru. This mourning inscription probably originated from the temple. That Uruan rulers visited this site it is possible that the Nim temple was a structure erected for the exclusive use of local Uruan royalty. The site was at least several thousand years old. The inscribed altar measured 1m in length by 1.5m width and 17cm tall. A libation depression was situated at one end, the rest of

Since the symposium held at Orange to help the newly formed Central West Paranormal research Group become known, organizers Debra Goninan and Russell Dunn have been receiving more enquires and can expect a rise in membership. Thanks to our joint efforts the local media are now well aware of their existence. We look forward to future joint activities between the Big Three Central West Paranormal Research Group, UFO Research NSW and Blue Mountains UFO Research Club.

11 Course where I let Cuddles have a run, when glancing over the Jamieson Valley towards the south-east, and just above low cloud level south of the D.O.T. towers out on Kings Tablelands Road, I spotted a faint silver long [cylindrical] object hovering above passing low clouds. As I stood watching for the next minute, the object began moving into a large cloud from which it did not appear to emerge. Then on the following Thursday afternoon, 3rd February, while again walking Cuddles in Katoomba Golf Course, while standing on a high spot looking east, I happened to notice a bright silvery object, perhaps saucer-like, hovering high above the huge storm clouds. The time was 5.45pm. The strange craft stood motionless for a full five minutes, then, commencing to move slowly to the northwest, entered a huge cloud. I waited for some time hoping to catch a view of it emerging, but it never reappeared. I was not alone in seeing this object, for there were a few golfers having some after-hours practice who stopped to look and point at it. Katoomba Gold Course has been the scene of numerous sightings in the wee small hours, particularly to the east of Katoomba, or else overhead in the sky on clear nights. It was here around 1am recently I was taking |cuddles for a late night walk, when I spotted the mysterious gigantic space station high above the earth for the first time in weeks. It is back again as I write, and has been moving about in the southwest region of the sky. On Tuesday 18th January [reported to me two days later] a husband and wife were returning to their vehicle at the Water Board gate on Narrow Neck Road after a walk out to the Fire Tower. The time was 9pm and they were using a torch to find their way along the road. As they were only a few minutes from the gate they both spotted, to the northwest above Megalong Valley, three reddish-orange glowing dartlike craft moving one behind the other from north to south, passing to the west of them about 1km above Narrow Neck. As the craft moved south, the rear craft seemed to just switch off suddenly, then the other two separated, one flying off at some speed to the southwest out of view, as did the other, flying southwest. I have met people on the Blue Mountains over the years who have had strange experiences involving UFOs even sightings of

More new faces are expected at our next Blue Mountains UFO Research Club meeting and I have arranged some very interesting DVDVideo entertainment for our meeting in the Rex Cinema [see program]. Bleu Mountains UFO Research Club will be doing Skywatches at other venues this year, including one very spectacular site, reach by walking from the Water Board gate along Narrow Neck Road for about 15-20 minutes. The location is a clifftop overlooking Cedar Valley, which opens out into the Burragorang Valley. The plan is to walk out there at sunset so as to establish ourselves and see the beautiful view before it gets dark. Just bring a torch for the walk back to the cars. This location offers a far wider and closer view of the Burragorang Valley and hardly a night is passing lately that some mysterious object is not being seen over that valley, or even flying up Cedar Valley. For those willing to make the walk the Skywatches out there will be very rewarding. If the weather is good we will visit this new site at our next meeting.

apparent alien crews, mostly at night, and a couple out on Narrow Neck Peninsula, which has long been an area of mysterious happenings Mark Cooper in a festive mood in his Christmas [read my book Australian UFOs Through the party hat. Photo copyright Rex Gilroy 2005. Window of Time for more details], which have more often than not left the people concerned with remarkable abilities they never had before. Some of these people have become clairaudients and clairvoyants. Some claim that after a close encounter or time-warp experience out on the Neck they have acquired the ability to hear ETs speaking to them through their minds, and one man once told me of an experience he had in a Springwood gully, when a voice spoke to him through his mind not to venture any further into a patch of forest and to turn back. He later had the uncanny feeling that some kind of craft had landed there the night before. In another UFO being prepared by me there will be cases such as the people who have been abducted and taken aboard a craft where images in their minds, including scenes from their past, were somehow extracted via strange apparatus placed on their heads by ETs, then projected upon a large screen, after which they were released. Some of these cases have occurred over the years on the Blue Mountains and make interesting reading. There have been cases where people have claimed that, having been abducted onto one strange craft or another, they have been sent back in time by various means to relive all or parts of their past lives, only to be returned to the present, having spent years in the past when in fact only minutes had elapsed in the present. We wonder what is the purpose of such experiments. Yet unless all these people have imagined their experiences, it is obvious that these beings come from super-civilisations elsewhere in the Universe whose sciences are far, far beyond our present comprehension. --0

consisting of Angelo Soccio, Pam Boyne Ann Taylor, Evan Rainer and Jessica up to nearby Katoomba Golf Course. Although nothing appeared that night [perhaps the ETs were holding their own parties elsewhere???] we all still had a lot of fun. Later the next day with Steve McCulloch and Ann Taylor made a hike out past the Water Board gate on Narrow Neck Road, during which I turned up a small, child-size hominid mineralised brain endocast and one dawn tool. Just prior to the hike at another Narrow Neck location we found a small dinosaur front two clawed hand print and in the same area I came across a giant hominid fossil footprint 48cm in length by 31cm width by 3.5cm in depth, encased in ironstone a good start to 2005.

My Temple of Nim research team is certainly getting off to a fine start for 2005. In the months ahead Orange NSW members Debra Goninan and Russell Dunn will be assisting with the measurement and researching of the massive megalithic temple site they discovered last year. This ancient structure is an undoubted temple to the Uruan Sun God, Nim. It has also been names the Temple of |Debra in honour of its discoverer! Ay-I the supreme being of the old Uru, but his son, Nim seems to have had far more temples built to him than any Uruan deity. Three more temples, like the Orange NSW structure, constructed from granite rocks, were found by Heather and I outside Canberra late last year, all in close proximity to each other. These also await measuring and photographing as soon as possible, so the coming months are going to be quite busy. Amid all this our Bowral Temple of Nim team member, Trevene Mattox will be helping Heather and I in our uncovering of more traces of ancient [Bronze Age] Phoenician opencut god, copper, tin and silver mines in her

rock inscriptions left by these people at these sites. Meanwhile work continues on my sequel to Pyramids in the Pacific Pyramids of Destiny-Lost pacific Colonies of the Bronze-Age God-Kings, which deals primarily with all the mining colonies established here, which in some cases formed great kingdoms ruled over the locally-created Pharaohs. The daily lives of the workers and their families are reconstructed from translations of the hundreds of rock inscriptions translated by me over the last 45 years of field research. By the time it is complete this book may be larger than its predecessor! Meanwhile Uru The Lost Megalithic Civilisation Of Australia is very close to completion, only a small amount of material has to be added on disc and final decisions on photographs made and the cover added. We anticipate publication within the next three months. This book is the culmination of almost 45 years field research, 28 years of which were spent trying to break the translation of what turned out to be a mother script. We anticipate that both these books will be best sellers. --0--
