UFOs in ancient China

by Joan Seth

There have been accounts of UFO sightings all over the world, since ancient times. Ancient cave paintings have depicted what seems to be figures with "dome shaped" heads. Renaissance paintings have shown objects in the skies suspiciously similar to Flying Saucers.

In ancient China, there have been stories and writings of sightings of UFOs. Here we shall look at some of them:

1) Dong Tien Ji (Peeping On The Sky)

Dong Tien Ji was a book originating from the Tang Dynasty.

The story goes: In the Tang Dynasty (618-907), a celestial ship, over fifty feet long, was found and placed in the Ling De Hall. The ship gave out a metallic sound when struck, and was of very hard material which was rustproof. Li Deyu, the Tang Prime Minister, cut over a foot of a slender stick of the ship and carved it into a figure of a Taoist priest. The Taoist figurine flew away and then returned. In the years of Emperor Daoming, the figurine disappeared and the ship flew away.

2) Strange Happenings (a chapter in Meng Qi Bi Tan)

Meng Qi Bi Tan was a book of essays compiled by Shen Kua of the Song Dynasty.

In the chapter, Strange Happenings, it described in the years of Emperor Jiayou (1056-1064), a UFO as bright as a pearl often make its appearance over the city of Yangzhou of Jiangsu province. At first the object was seen on a lake in Tienzhang county in eastern Anhui and later on the Pishe lake of Gaoyou county in Jiangsu. Subsequently it was often seen by local inhabitants near Xingkai lake.

One night, a man living by the lakeside found a shining pearl while studying outdoors. The object opened it's door and a flood of intense light like sunbeams darted out. The outer shell opened appearing as large as a bed with a big pearl the size of a fist. The intense silver white light, shot from the interior, was too strong for human eyes to behold; it cast shadows of every tree within a radius of ten miles. The spectacle was like the rising sun, lighting up the sky and woods in red. Then all of a sudden, the object took off at a tremendous speed and descended upon the lake like the sun setting.

3) Red Flames in the Sky

In 1890, Wu You Ru, an artist living in the Qing Dynasty, witnessed, with hundreds of passers-bys, a fireball radiating red light in all directions in the sky. He then painted the scene, naming it Red Flames in the Sky. In the painting, he described an egg shaped fireball with red light. It floated in the sky, moving eastward. It lingered for a period of a meals time, fading into the distance little by little.

Poem about China UFO

by Liu Shahe

Liu Shahe was a writer in China who was inspired to write the following poem after he encountered a supposed UFO in 1979. He published his account in the Science Literature of Sichuan.

This has been translated from the original poem written in Chinese.

Suddenly it appears,
Mysteriously it vanishes,
Flooding the sky with curiousity.
Lights of green,
Lights of orange,
Dazzle mans eye.

Flying disc?
People beyond the Earth?
These are incredible.
"Civilization is ours only," says he
Out of conservatism and prejudice.

What the naked eye has seen,
What danced on radar screen,
Was branded sheer illusion.
Whereas stale dogmas
Are chanted as gospel.

A visitor from another planet
On board a flying disc
Knocks at our door;
But we, frogs in the well,
Skulking in the bottom,
Dare not venture to answer.

The God's Particle

by Joan Seth

The Large Hardon Collider (LHC for short) particle accelerator was officially started running in November 2009, after it was shutdown in September 2008. The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres in circumference, as much as 175 metres beneath the French and Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. Currently it has been shut down again till February 2010, while slight improvements are made.

The particle accelerator fires beams of protons and lead nuclei, smashing them together at energies of up to 2.36 TeV (Terra Electron Volts). Through this, scientists hope to unravel some of the issues still plugging modern physics.

One of the questions they hope to answer is: Does the Higgs Particle exist?

I won't go into the essential Physics Standard Model Theories (might bore everyone to death), but bascially, there are four fundamental Forces of nature. Gravity, which are carried by particles named Gravitons, Electromagnetic Force, which is carried by Photons and the Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces, carried by Gluons and Vector Bosons respectively.

Other particles - the Leptons, which consists of Electrons and Neutrinos and the Quarks, are the basis of all matter. That is to say, the smallest building blocks of all matter are Leptons and Quarks.

This is essentially a simple breakdown of the Standard Model. It is somewhat like a list of elementary particles where all known and speculated particles and their antiparticles are listed.

However, there is still one missing particle in the Standard Model Theory - The Higgs Boson. Basically, it is described as the particle that gives all the above mentioned particles mass. It has not yet been observed through experiments yet, unfortunately. Yet it is predicted to exist. Without proof of its existence, all our current theories of modern Physics could fail.

It's importance in physics has been defined by the fact some scientists have called it the 'God's Particle'.

The LHC aims to provide experimental evidence of the Higgs particle. But thus far, it has not been successful, although scientists are still hopeful it will be discovered in the near future. But in the process, many people are worried it might spell the End of the World.

Even if the energies produced in the LHC are considerably low, some scientists do believe that in the existence of extra spatial dimensions, in which it would be possible to create micro black holes at the LHC.

The effects of a micro black hole could be catastrophic - I'm pretty sure everyone knows what a black hole is, and what are its theorized effects. A micro black hole passing through the Earth could theoretically absorb it whole.

Strangelets are strange matter. Hypothetically they are a form of quark matter. If they actually exist, and if they were produced at the LHC, they could conceivably initiate a runaway fusion process in which all the nuclei in the planet would be converted to strange matter, similar to a strange star.

This would render all matter in the world into another form of matter. Thus, there will be no more matter. The Earth would be reduced to a lump of strange matter. Strange? But theoretically it could still happen.

Magnetic Monopoles are also weird particles. Ordinary magnets all have 2 poles - A North and a South. However, Monopoles only have a single pole. If they really exist, they could destroy nucleons and they can quickly traverse the earth and escape into space. Alternatively, if they are really proven to exist by the LHC, then it would be a major scientific breakthrough for mankind.

Another possibility is that the LHC could create sufficiently high energy density as to penetrate the barrier and stimulate the decay of the false vacuum to the lower energy vacuum.

In short, it could create a False Vacuum. If a bubble of lower energy vacuum were nucleated, it would approach at nearly the speed of light and destroy the Earth instantaneously, without any forewarning.

Finally, some people have hypothesized that the experiments conducted in the LHC could rip the fabric of space and time, and that a rift in our dimension could occur. A gateway into another dimension could be then created. This scenario has been popularized in games such as Doom and Half Life.

So could all these really happen? Some people really think so, even going to the effect of starting protests against the LHC. The top brains in charge reassure us, saying its not going to happen; they have done an investigation and the results are inconclusive.

But when demons start appearing out of micro black holes one day, you know who to blame.

Valentine's Day: Pagan or Christian Holiday?

By Austin Cline

Isn’t Valentine’s Day a Christian day, named after a Christian saint? When we consider the matter more closely, we don’t find a strong relationship between Christian saints and romance. There is a lot of debate and disagreement among scholars about the origins of Valentine’s Day. We’ll never be able to disentangle all of the cultural and religious threads in order to reconstruct a complete and coherent story, but the pagan connections to the date are much stronger than the Christian ones.

The Romans celebrated a holiday on February 14th to honor Juno Fructifier, Queen of the Roman gods and goddesses as well as goddess of marriage. In one ritual, women would submit their names to a common box and men would each draw one out. These two would be a couple for the duration of the festival (and at times for the entire following year). Both rituals were designed to promote not only fertility, but also life generally.

The Mystical "Nian" Beast of Chinese New Year

Chinese people held the first New Year Festival more than 3,000 years ago. Farmers gave thanks for the harvest and prayed. They asked the gods for good crops in the coming year.

But there is a story behind all the celebration, below is the legend of how the Chinese New Year celebration began.

According to legend, there was a man-eating wild monster "Nian" with an extremely large mouth, capable of swallowing several people in a single bite. This beast appeared in a country village, towards the end of winter when there was nothing to eat it would visit the villages and attack and eat whatever it could. The villagers would live in terror over the winter.

The next year it returned and the same thing happened. The monster seemed too strong to be defeated. So all the villagers would take their old and young deep into the mountains to hide from Nian.

Deity 'picked her' to be medium

by Rachel Chan

Now a convert, the alumnus of a convent secondary school had dismissed this as a farce.

ONE moment, she was chatting with friends while she was on a swing; the next, she awoke, bewildered, to a crowd gathered for a seance in a temple nearby.

Friends told Miss Delia Sng, then 19, that she had been in a trance for 30 minutes, talking and acting like the deity Marshal Hong Fu, whom the Chwee Hean Keng temple in Zion Road venerated.

Regular temple-goers said that the Shang dynasty war hero picked her to replace the temple's former medium, who had died three months earlier.

At first, the alumnus of a convent secondary school dismissed this as a farce.

But, eight years on, the Taoist convert is the 102-year-old temple's resident medium, or dang kee, channelling the deity weekly to resolve disputes and heal ailments.

It is a far cry from her days as a rebellious teenager.

When Miss Sng had her first encounter with the deity, she resisted being "recruited" because she was sceptical.

But, six months later, she ran into trouble with the law for getting into fights, and struck a deal with the deity: she would turn over a new leaf and become his medium, in return for coming under his aegis.

Miss Sng, now 27, looks nothing like a medium, with cropped bleached hair and colourful tattoos. When she's not at the temple, she helps her mother at a food stall selling fish-head soup.

But those she has helped are so grateful that they treat her like a deity. Once, a diabetes patient fell to the ground, clasped her feet and said that he had seen her in his dreams, with light radiating from her head.

She said: "Knowing that I have a special ability to help people gives me a lot of satisfaction.

The mythical kingdom of Prester John

by Matt Rosenberg


Picture is (C) copyright to Coleccion de los trages

In the twelfth century, a mysterious letter began to circulate around Europe. It told of a magical kingdom in the East that was in danger of being overrun by infidels and barbarians. This letter was supposedly written by a king known as Prester John.

Throughout the Middle Ages, the legend of Prester John sparked geographic exploration across Asia and Africa. The letter first surfaced in Europe as early as the 1160s, claiming to be from Prester (a corrupted form of the word Presbyter or Priest) John. There were over one-hundred different versions of the letter published over the following few centuries. Most often, the letter was addressed to Emanuel I, the Byzantine Emperor of Rome, though other editions were also often addressed to the Pope or the King of France.

Spring Festival (Xin "NIAN")

The Spring Festival is the grandest festival for the Chinese. The Spring Festival is also called "Nian", but who knows the term, Nian, was once the name of a furious monster that lived on human beings in the ancient time. How the Festival has some relationship with the monster lies in a story about the origin and development of the Spring Festival.


Picture is (C) copyright to ChinaTour4u

The legend says, long ago, there was a monster called Nian. It was born to be very ugly and ferocious, which looked like either dragons or unicorns. On the first and the 15th of each lunar month, the monster would come down from the mountains to hunt people. So people were very much afraid of it and locked their doors early before sunset on the days of its coming.

There lived an old wise man in a village. He thought it was the panic in people that made the monster so bold and furious. Thus the old man asked people to organize together and to conquer the monster by means of beating drums and gongs, burning bamboo, and lighting fireworks in purpose of making large noises to threaten the hateful monster. When he told people about the idea, everybody agreed on it.

At a moonless and freezing cold night, the monster, Nian, appeared again. The moment it opened its mouth at people, burst out the frightening noises and fire made by people, and wherever the monster went, it was forced to back off by the terrible noises. The monster couldn't stop running until he fell down with exhaustion. Then people jumped up and killed the evil monster. Savage as the monster was, he lost in the end under the efforts from the cooperation of people.

Since then, people have kept the tradition by beating drums and gongs, and lighting fireworks at the coldest day in winter to drive the imagined monsters away and to celebrate the victory over it. Today, Nian refers to the New Year's day or the Spring Festival. People often say Guo Nian, which means 'live the festival.' Furthermore, Nian also means the year. For an example, the Chinese often greet each other by saying Xin Nian Hao, which means Happy New Year! Xin means new and Hao means good.

The Fearsome Chinese Ghost in Red

The ancient Chinese had always liked the color of "Red" very much as it a representation of good luck. However at the same time, it also represents : Anger, Hate, Revenge and Blood!

Typically by traditions, Chinese are always very frightened and would tremble when it comes to a ghost in red especially further more during the night. Sometimes, Chinese taxi drivers get very confused when they see a female in Red flagging for a ride. They are confused as they do not know if what they saw is a human or is it a ghost.

Among the so many types of ghosts, the ghost in red is the most powerful and ferocious ghost among the Chinese community. They are among one of those very difficult to handle / exorcist type of ghosts.

As compare to other types of Chinese ghosts, there are still a higher chance of escape and survival or to even exorcist the ghost as compared to a ghost in red. Should one encounter a ghost in red, the chances of surviving is simply too slim. It is as good as impossible to be alive.

Even should the ghost in red you encounter is not taking any revenge on you, and that it is just asking for some favor or request from you, you still need to worry and think very hard.

The reason to it is simple. If you lied, this ghost in red will return to haunt you. If you promise this ghost anything and failed to deliver, the ghost will also come back to punish you. You will have to be very careful with your words to this ghost.

A Ghost in red is among one of the most powerful and ferocious type of ghosts ! They are full of anger and hate ! They seek revenge ! They are out for the blood/life of their targeted victim ! They will not be appeased or even rest in peace till vengeance has already been fully, satisfactory taken !

How to become this "Ghost in Red" ?
During the olden days, it is in the common case that these ghosts are the victims who has been raped or who has too much anger, hate and vengeance with a person but was unable to seek as a human. It can also be those nobles and Royals from a kingdom that has been destroyed by the enemies and these people want revenge on their enemies as a form of ghost.

In the past, the deceased will find the most remote location at the darkest hour, dressed in red clothes (AS RED AS POSSIBLE) and then finally commit suicide in a most horrible and gruesome death to their best means.

After they had died, they will be automatically be transformed into this super powerful and ferocious ghost in red!

The mystery of the Marsiling Tunnel

by Northern Leader

University of Wollongong historian John Kwok said he never wants to enter the mysterious ‘Marsiling Dungeons’ again.

The unexplained tunnel network was found in a forest in Singapore by the leader of Singapore Paranormal Investigators Dr Kenny Fong in 2006, sparking media attention and wide ranging speculation.

Some said the ‘dungeons’ were a place of occult worship, or part of a secret British undersea tunnel network, or even the site of Japanese WWII General Tomoyuki Yamashita’s legendary hidden gold.

There was also talk that the tunnels might be connected to a nearby mental asylum.
