Msgr. Balducci is one of the best-known and most respected Italian theologians. The Roman priest and Curia member served the Holy See as a diplomat and member of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples ("Propaganda Fide"). He is an expert on demonology and parapsychology, was for several years the exorcist of the diocese of Rome, the Pope?s diocese. Msgr. Balducci wrote several books, including the bestseller "Il Diavolo" (the Devil) which reached 14 print runs in the hardcover edition. Furthermore he is a regular guest in the Italian State TV (Rai Due), where he made several statements on the UFO phenomenon since 1995. He spoke on the UFO congresses in Acapulco and San Marino. We publish his paper for the first time in an English translation. It is indeed noteworthy, since it is the very first detailed statement of a senior Roman Catholic theologian and Curia member on the UFO phenomenon. More than that, it demonstrates the openness of the Roman Catholic church in this question and can be considered the first ever complex positive statement regarding the UFO/ET reality from the point of view of a major world religion - with its over 1 Billion faithful, the RC Church is indeed the largest religious community on Earth. Note that since the first Balducci-statement also H.H., the Dalai Lama (for Tibetan Buddhism), several Jewish rabbis in Israel and, in 2001, the Muslim authorities of Turkey followed with positive statements on this subject. Therefore it can be said that UFOs are not only ?no problem? for the largest Christian church, but also for other world religions. More: http://www.pufoin.com

I discovered that long before the Bible there were tablets written by ancient humans. These were the Sumerians. There are even older tablets written by a people yet to be determined but the language has not yet been effectively translated. The Sumerians are, as of now, the earliest known human civilization. Their tablets tell many of the stories we find in the Bible but with a remarkably different twist. I was beside myself when I realized the significance of this information. I'd always felt that the Bible was the oldest documented record of our past. I'd never considered any other possibility. The Bible was compiled in the early A.D. while the Sumerian Tablets go back to 3600 BCE. I accepted that these tablets spoke of our creation (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) at the hands of an alien race to be slaves and mine for Gold. That discovery lead to more research - specifically that involving the Vatican position on E.T. and creation. To my great surprise I discovered that after Vatican II, the RC Church announced that evolution was plausible. The Church had to accept the science and could no longer manipulate the truth. The Vatican back-peddled and changed its position to say that while evolution or alien influence may have played a hand in the creation of Homo Sapiens, the "soul" was unique and of God. These two facts may have been available for 30 or more years but it wasn't until I had easy access to research that I was able to find this information. The idea that my RC Church had changed its doctrine but still taught me of creation during my 12 years of Catholic School had me rather unsettled and widened the gap between my beliefs and that of the RC Church. In short order, I was now forced to reconsider everything I'd ever believed in and build a new understanding of my personal belief system. This process wasn't short by any means. I struggled with my crisis of faith. I felt empty and alone. I mourned for the days of ignorance. After all, ignorance is bliss or so they say. Like a shark in a feeding frenzy, I devoted all of my personal time for the purpose of discovery. Just when I thought I had the answers, I discovered more. very interesting reading... welcome to 4, DarkVictory.

Omigosh, this is really freaky. On digital clocks, I have noticed for years that I just happen to look at the clock at those two times of the day and night, 11:11 and 12:34. It's happened so frequently that I've mentioned it to several of my friends and relatives!

my experience exactly.

ha ha ha. I have been seeing this for a while. welcome to my woo woo world, honeypie. and I'm willing to bet you've had other stuff happen that you'd keep to yourself for fear of ridicule from the herd people? (seeing stuff out of corner of your eye yet?) email me if you want to share i have my on theory on this phenomenon. there are even a couple of threads about his very thing on a couple of the woo woo boards i hang out at. welcome aboard.
Whenever people ask me, 'hey, you know what you should do? I always say 'What? Buy a monkey?'
like what? lol. welcome aboard i'm not sure i want onboard. :P

C'mon now...we all know that UFOs are simply Union members throwing garbage can lids and hubcaps in the air. /sarc Here's something strange that has been going on in our house for the last year or so. We have 5 digital clocks scattered throughtout the house along with 3 analogs. All the digital clocks gain about ten minutes every week and we have to keep resetting them. The analog clocks keep accurate time though. The only exception is the digital clock on one of the VCRs that keeps in contact with a local PBS station to keep the time accurate. Strange but true.
this is interesting. there is a reason this is called the 'prison planet'? another interesting thing is that many of the financial essayists are predicting the collapse will occur in 2012. woo woo.

Yep....Rod Serling was standing in my basement several nights ago. ;-)
Frank Whalen's guest today is fascinating -
usually you see movement...you look and nothing is there. Or an occasional electric blue type flash. oh yes, you're a woo woo now. who are you gonna believe, your lying eyes, or the herd? you know where I'll be.

Change all your clocks a few minutes so that none are accurate and no two clocks are the same. If the phenomenon continues, then it's not psychic it's environmental.

I've been fascinated with the role that numbers play in our reality, ever since my association with Mars Anomalies research. The exacting measurements of the pyramids and their relationship with the stars. The geographical measurements closely related to 19.5 and other key numbers. The awareness of 11:11 and 12:34
#4. To: All (#3)
The Bible, especially the Book of Revelations is filled with numerical symbolism. Many have speculated about their meaning but in the end, all that could be said was that they were symbolic. I've had some profound moments of awareness related to numerical values. Over the past few months I find myself looking at anything with digital numbers and at that exact moment I discover 11:11. Less frequently I have seen 12:34. Even today, before writing this editorial I was writing an e-mail to a friend of mine and my eyes glanced to the clock in my tool bar. Sure enough, the time was 11:11 AM. Nearly every day, I will take notice to 11:11. I don't typically wear a watch, so it isn't like I'm just waiting for 11:11 to show up. I will not have looked at the time for hours and suddenly I'm compelled to check the time or my eyes happen to glance over something with time on it and poof - it'll be 11:11.

There will be a return of Aliens and there will be a great apocalypse of sorts. An alien race which bred us for slavery will return with a desire to enslave us. There are many alien species at work within our human society. There are many alien/human hybrids as well. Some are here to help us. Some wish to enslave us. The stories in the Book of Revelations merely reveal to us what will come. They also reveal that WE will be victorious and as a planet, we will find peace. That peace will be brought about because for the first time in our history, we as a planet of people will realize that religion was a mask and that we fought over silly notions. Our beliefs will not remain the same. At that point, there will be a HUGE awakening. Many will suffer because they will deny the truth. This is the tribulation. They will fight their own demons and they will be the cause of great upheaval while they come to terms with the truth. Upon their acceptance, they will ascend to this higher level of understanding and share in the peace.
