1. Barry

Barry, the legendary Saint Bernard who rescued over 40 snowbound people in his lifetime (1800-1814) can still be seen, thanks to the art of taxidermy, in the National Museum in Bern, Switzerland. Barry had remarkable sensory gifts. He could predict imminent avalanches and he could lead the monks of the Hospice of St. Bernard to travelers buried beneath the snow. The monks continued to name their lead dog “Barry” as a tribute to the original after his death.

2. Bibs

Heroic canaries are surely rare. One of them, Bibs, lived — and died — in Hermitage, Tenn. Bibs belonged to an elderly woman known as Old Aunt Tess. When Old Aunt Tess fell and injured herself severely, Bibs went winging down the road for help. She banged against the window of a neighboring house until she aroused the occupant. Old Aunt Tess survived but Bibs died from excessive tapping.

3. Checkers

While running for vice-president with Eisenhower in 1952, Richard M. Nixon’s career was almost shattered by an expose revealing that he had a secret $18,000 personal fund (mostly contributions from oilmen) stashed away under another name. Asked to resign, Nixon decided to defend himself on television. Told to make disclosures of any gifts he had received, Nixon remembered how FDR had defended his dog, Fala, in 1944, and he decided to do likewise. In his speech, Nixon said that he had received a gift from a Republican in Texas, “It was a little cocker spaniel dog . . . Black and white spotted. And our little girl — Tricia, the 6 year-old –named it Checkers. And you know, the kids (like all kids) love the dog, and I just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we’re gonna keep it.” After the speech, Nixon wept, saying, “I was an utter flop . . . Well, at least I won the dog vote tonight.” The speech was a success. Nixon stayed on the ticket, writing later, “Checkers emerged from the campaign the best-known dog in the nation since Fala.”

4. Incitatus

Caligula, emperor of Rome from 37 to 41 AD, was one of the most depraved and monstrous rulers of all time — but he lavished love on his horse, Incitatus. Caligula made the horse a consul of the empire and supplied him with a marble manger, ivory stall, gold drinking goblet, furniture, and a retinue of slaves. Caligula even held parties at which Incitatus was the host.

5. Jack the Porpoise

Sailors bringing their ships through French Pass, a waterway near D’Urville Island off the coast of New Zealand, learned to depend upon a porpoise named Jack to guide them through the dangerous currents. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met and piloted every boat that appeared. In 1903 a drunken passenger on The Penguin shot and wounded him. Jack recovered, resumed his self-appointed job, and for nine more years guided all ships — except The Penguin.

6. Muhamed

A mental wizard, Muhamed was part of a stable of horses in Elberfeld, Germany, trained and owned by Karl Krall in the late 19th century. Blindfolded by a sack, Muhamed could calculate cube roots after only four months of training. He could also add, subtract, multiply, and divide. To give an answer to a math problem — say, 54 — he would tap his left foot five times, his right four times. Scientific observers came and went without proving that any trickery had occurred.

In a tomb at Kivak, in South Sweden (1400 BC) is a panel depicting the god Poseidon. The temple also contained gold statues of a god standing in a chariot drawn by six winged horses, surrounded by dolphins.

The statues were so tall that they touched the roof of the temple. In the Eddaic Saga of Ragnar LodBrok, it is said that on the Island of Samso there stood a forty foot high statue of a god made of wood, similar to the one in Kivak.

In Scandinavia rock drawings from the Bronze Age show figures of gods two or three times taller than the people. Were the gods/goddesses of our ancestors giants?

In Northern Europe, as early as the middle Bronze Age, there was a cult of a god standing in a chariot, drawn by horses and led by a dolphin, Poseidon?

According to Swedish archaelogist, Martin P. Nilsson, the god Poseidon, came from an original homeland in the NORTH. In early times Poseidon was connected with horses, chariots and dolphins.

There are also many connections between this god, horses, chariots and dolphins in the Greek religious cults.

Homer, in his ‘Illiad’, portrays Poseidon as a very old god. Poseidon is said to have built the wall around Troy.

The walls around the temples in Atlantis were erected by Poseidon also, in the dawn of time.

Among the Achaens (Greeks) who descended from the Norse Sea peoples of Scandinavia and North Germany, Poseidon was considered and “older” God.

In Sparta after the North Sea peoples migrated to it, Poseidon was revived and played a dominant part in their religion.

Dorian (Greek) nobility claimed Poseidon as their tribal ancestor.

The Phillistines honored Poseidon.

In the midst of the great ‘Troy Town’ on the island of Atlantis, stood a temple to Poseidon. The temple of Poseidon was 183 meters in length and 93 meters wide. The statues were covered in silver. Inside the roof, gold, silver and amber were used.

The Germanic temples in pre-Christian times were extremely rich in decoration.

Herman Muller, Nordic historian, stated that the description of the temple of Poseidon, in Atlantis agrees very closely to the palaces of the Norse/Germanic gods, Odin, Thor, Freya etc.

Even the bridge, in Atlantis, that connected the temple with the rest of the country can be recognized as the Bifrost Bridge.

The temple of Forseti in Frisia, has pillars of gold and a roof of silver.

Christianity invaded Scandinavia and Germany and baptized the inhabitants under the threat of the sword. They then destroyed what they called the heathen shrines and carried off great treasures that they found in the temples. That are probably stored in the basement of the Vatican with all our other treasures.

Scandinavian folklore tales, tell of a golden city which lies beneath the sea, where it’s inhabitants were so rich that the canals and drains were made of copper.

Another tale tells of a country that sank into the North Sea. The inhabitants were so rich that they shod their horses with golden shoes and ploughed the land with silver ploughs.

There is so much rich hidden history, that clearly shows that the Norse Sea people (our Viking ancestors) traveled throughout the ancient world (1500 BC) and left culture, commerce and gods/goddesses in their wake.

Why do we not see this on the History channel?

What comes to mind when someone talks about a UFO? Do you think about the cover of a science fiction novel and the image of mysterious bluish lights beaming down from it? Do you think about a time when you were out late at night and you saw a flash of light, wondered what it was only to realize a moment later that what you saw wasn’t a UFO - it was just the lights of a plane that was beginning its descent. Do you think of movies, or little green men, cartoons, or do you just turn away shaking your head?

A lot of people discuss UFOs as flying saucers - it seems to be the best description that they can come up with. Others suggest, rather dismissively, that UFO simply means unidentified flying object and that the light that someone saw flashing in the sky was either a plane, a helicopter or a reflection of light off of a cell phone tower or another metal object.

Reflections of light from a cell phone tower do little to explain away “mysterious materials” found in Roswell, New Mexico in the late 1940s. While the United States military has always stood their ground that these materials were merely fragments of a research balloon, a top secret test that ended badly, others offer another explanation. They assert that the materials were fragments of a UFO, an alien craft that crashed rather than safely landing. They believe that the “flying disc” - as it was called by military personnel - that was recovered could not be something from this world, and so began one of the most talked about UFO encounters in the world.

Many who believe that the UFO in Roswell, New Mexico deserved more attention than it was being given, believe that it wasn’t something that could just be dismissed. In part, this is likely to have something to do with other stories surrounding the flying saucer. A farmer talked about having found materials miles away from Roswell, and the story was picked up by newspapers, accompanied by photos of the strange find - strips of rubber, something like aluminum foil, sticks. It’s a story that has gained so much attention around the world that it has influenced many people’s sense of alien life and alien visitations to earth.

If the Roswell, New Mexico story had never become so widespread, UFO and flying saucer may not be so common in our language, in our experiences and in novels, television programming and films. How common is it for people to see a UFO?

It’s hard to say, really, because many people who see an unidentified flying object in the sky are reluctant to report it. Either the person who saw a UFO believes that there is a far more logical explanation or merely thinks that no one would believe them if they were to say anything about it. And yet, there are UFO sightings that are shared and that become the topic of conspiracy theories by those who believe that beings from other planets and galaxies have visited the earth.

One such incident occurred in 1980 in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk, England. Those who saw the UFO all claimed to have seen flashing lights coming from an unidentified flying object that was descending towards the woods - a UFO that was roughly the size of a car and seemed to float on a beam of light. After reports were made about the object, it was discovered that trees were damaged, radio frequencies became nothing but static and soil samples later showed radioactive activity.

Similarly, in Gulf Breeze, Florida in 1987 tales of a UFO began to circulate when a man saw a strange light coming from his lawn. When he saw the flying saucer, he grabbed a camera and started shooting photos as proof of what he had seen. Of course, in this situation, the story was not just of a UFO sighting, but about repeated experiences and of the man’s being beamed up onto the craft.

Though discussions of these UFO sightings continue, and there has been audio recordings and photo documentation, it is still difficult to know whether or not the unidentified flying objects were indeed from space. Many claimed, in regard to the Gulf Breeze, Florida UFO sightings, that the man had manipulated the photographs and fabricated the story.

In each case, both sides - the believers and the skeptics - find evidence to support their claims. Those who believe in UFOs and alien visitations cite facts that they claim cannot otherwise be explained. Those who are skeptical offer their own explanations along with their own supporting evidence. Which side is right? For now, that’s up to you to decide.
