“Ancient History of the U.S.: Pre-Columbian Ancient
Mystic Symbols Unearthed ”
A peculiar glyph graces a vast collection of strange artifacts known as "the Michigan Relics." They are predominantly stone tablets originally dug out of so-called "Indian mounds" from the mid-to-late 19th century to the early 20th century, and covered with an almost inscrutable script. Its key is a Hebrew tetragrammaton---the Judaic name for "God" translated into Hebrew Letters as YHWH or JHVH, and articulated as "Yahweh," more commonly referred to in the English-speaking world as "Jehovah."
This is the so-called “Mystic Symbol”, comprising five, T-shaped figures, with three of them forming an “H” at its center. It appears on many of the 30,000 or so slate, clay and copper objects first discovered in 1821 at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, with many more excavated mainly throughout the Wolverine State. These and a growing number of subsequent finds prompted orthodox scholars in 1890 to launch a concerted campaign of defamation and disinformation against the discoveries and supporters of their authenticity. Conventional academics falsely claimed no such items were known until 1890, when they were allegedly faked by the Scotford brothers, two “jacks of all trades” perpetrating their lucrative hoax on a naive public.
Not until thirty-nine years ago were the disputed articles professionally re-examined in the light of modern, scientific methods to establish their actual provenance. The objects’ pre-Columbian identification was then convincingly demonstrated by a Second World War veteran code-breaker in the U.S. government’s cryptography department, Chicago attorney, Henriette Mertz. Her The Mystic Symbol, Mark of the Michigan Mound Builders affirms the relics’ archaeological genuineness. Since the republication of Mertz’s paradigm-shattering book by Wisconsin’s Hay River Press, in 2004, the reinvestigation she inaugurated is currently championed by Ancient American magazine, which continues to report new discoveries illuminating a vast body of physical evidence from an Old World colony that flourished in the Great Lakes Region some 1,500 years ago.

Jon Dover, Paranormal Ranger
Known as the Navajo Ranger, he will talk about phenomena and Stan’s recent book with a live PowerPoint presentation. They were rangers together for 30 years.
They're sharing the wild and woolly experiences of the paranormal, encountered during 11 years within the Navajo Nation lands located in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. This is a land of rugged beauty, deep legend, and mystery, where it seems anything can happen on any given day.
During their careers, Jonathan and Stanley were exposed to some of the most unbelievable phenomena known to man. These include cases involving UFOs, Bigfoot, hauntings, and Navajo skinwalkers. These inexplicable cases were meticulously investigated with a scrutiny that is unheard of these days. Regardless of the physical or eyewitness accounts, the rangers applied the laws of legal evidence to each case, complying with state, tribal, and Federal courts, thereby certifying a thorough investigation.
Check out this fun article on Jon!
Tuesday, February 17, 2025- Leela Hutchison - "Contact in the Chihuahuan Desert- the E.T. Hot Zone"
A graduate gemologist, an explorer, researcher and published author on crystals, gems and minerals, Leela's second book Contact in the Chihuahuan Desert details paranormal and other high strangeness in and surrounding the Mexican Giant Selenite Crystal and her own contact experience living near White Sands Missile Range, Roswell, and Ft. Bliss Army Base in El Paso, Texas.
In January 2001, she was on a team to enter the astonishing giant crystal caves in Naica, Mexico. Known as the largest crystals on earth, they weigh approximately 60 tons, are 40 feet tall, and are approximately 550,000 years old. They are thought to be the purest form of selenite in the world.
Leela's extensive research over 20 years earned her acclaim , appearing in the documentary, Time of the Sixth Sun, the History Channel's UnXplained series with William Shatner ("The Underground World" episode), and History's Ancient Aliens "The Mystery of the Standing Stones" episode.

Peter Robbins, Author, Researcher, Host-"Meanwhile on Earth"
NASA/JPL Moon and Mars Photos: An Unappreciated Resource in the Battle for Disclosure
For almost as long as human beings have been sending artificial satellites into space, we have been sending up artificial satellites which carry cameras. These invaluable tools now routinely capture the formation of galaxies as well as the surfaces of neighboring and distant planets, moons, and asteroids. We both learn from such photographs and appreciate them for their wonder and beauty. But among the countless images taken from our spacecraft over the past decades, there continue to be a percentage which NASA/JPL prefer that we not see, and that if we do see, not dwell upon. These are the images which strongly indicate the presence of structures of varying sorts on the surface of the Moon and on the surface of Mars, among other planetary bodies. These, in the form of buildings, towers, transit-ways, and artifacts. Not surprisingly, such allegations are generally met with the same disdain we apply to faked or Photoshopped UFO photos.
In this well-illustrated presentation, Peter Robbins turns, or returns our attention to a neglected but significant area of investigation, this while reminding us that it is human nature to seek out recognizable imagery in the randomness of nature, be it in the form of a cloud shaped like a lamb, or the suggestion of a human face in a natural rock formation, or possibly what appear to be the remains of intelligently created structures on the surface of Mars and the Moon? Or not. The condition is called pareidolia. While no image is safe from alteration, Robbins concludes that any detectable alterations in the NASA/JPL images – and alterations there are, could only have been made prior to their public release. The implications of these images is obvious. An enhanced public awareness of their documented reality could add significantly to the gravitas of the ongoing process we’ve come to call Disclosure. To paraphrase the late, great ufologist and nuclear physicist, Stanton T Friedman, the question is not, do such photographic anomalies represent actual buildings, construction activity, mining operations, towers, settlements, bases and even smaller objects of one kind or another. The question is, does even one of them convincingly do so. The answer to which is yes.
