Aliens Apparently, the belief that aliens were responsible for the disappearances was more widespread than he’d wanted to know Soht down a o That ship was down below the ocean floor Sory and destructive Sometimes, to perform their evil deeds in their evil laboratories, they would send out their own vessels to snag ships or planes and bring them down below the surface

Some people believed that they made trips to earth only now and then to snatch planes from the sky and ships from the sea

Another theory had to do with the lost city of Atlantis The psychic Edgar Cayce, who passed away in 1945, had claimed that he--and many other people--were reincarnated residents of the doomed Atlantis He said that the city had not been in the Old World at all but near Bihly advanced and used fire crystals for their power--fire crystals that had gotten out of hand and exploded, thus causing the sinking of Atlantis There were still fire crystals deeply eed so ships, people, planes and debris to disappear He prophesied that Atlantis would rise again in 1968 or ’69

In 1968, the Bimini Road or Bimini Wall was discovered--a rock formation of rounded stones beneath the sea near North Bireat highway Sohway; others were convinced that itback three to four thousand years

Sean had seen the Bi, but he wasn’t a structural scholar, so he couldn’t deter beneath sand and the elements, or if it had been manmade

He didn’t believe that Cayce had once been a citizen of the fabled Atlantis

Anotherin the area in 1970, he had gotten cut off from his friends He’d found an underwater cave The cave had been extraordinary He’d seen a pyraht Obviously, so the light, the formation and the smooth workmanship within the cave

He’d found a crystal sphere in the pyramid, and taken it When he’d left the cave, he’d heard a voice telling hi his head, puzzled If he’d ever found such a cave, he’d have partners and film cren in the water before he ever came out of it

Ray Brown didn’t do that

He didn’t tell the world about his reht his crystal to a psychics fair in Phoenix in 1975

If his cave had ever been discovered or the secret of the crystal divulged, Sean didn’t know about it, nor, going from site to site to site on the Internet, could he find any mention of it--the cave, that was There was mention only of the crystal

Behind him, Bartholomew sniffed

"God! Would you not read over nored the question

"They are referring to the Gulf Strea to an area that, even in es in the world The current is always five to six knots, storms rise up constantly out of nowhere, and statistically, it would be als not to happen in the area Ah, but absurd things do happen So is there a Berle? Or is it just the natural state of the world?" he queried

"I believe that you’re right about the fact that the sea can be dangerous, the Gulf Streas can o where seven fishermen were out The captain had sailed the waters ue wave overturned the boat They weren’t five nautical miles from shore, but after the wave hit, the boat overturned Two died and five were found alive If the five hadn’t been recovered, it would have been another case for the Ber boat was ever discovered and they were in relatively shalloaters, close to shore, when it happened I don’t believe in crystals or aliens Who knows? Maybe a city was sunk thousands of years ago--I’ve been places where they know that one day the volcanoes beneath the surface will blow--and old islands will go down and new ones will be formed Haill sink--hell, one day, Florida will sink That’s the planet But as far as people being le, crystals, aliens, or even a subspecies of huills--I don’t believe it for an instant"

Bartholo on a conversation with a ghost!"

Sean glared at hi out that there isto see or accept But frankly, I’m with you I don’t believe in aliens--not from other planets Oh, there ht be fungi or sponges And no one sees the future--except for God I’ve been around a very long time I’ve been able to observe quite a bit Like the fact that you’re thinking about all of this because you’ve spent the day on the coo haunt?" Sean asked him "Where is your beautiful lady in white?"

Bartholohost, yes He was talking to a ghost Not his fault--he bla others absurd!

"Ghosts are different," Bartholo his y doesn’t die--and we are the result Most huious or spiritual belief, and if you believe in what you don’t see, as in God, then it’s not such a stretch to believe that souls exist And we all know that even a, soree with you The perpetrator of the evil deeds surrounding the fille, the power of a crystal or a little greenout of the ocean There’s a live person, hoanized and possibly psychotic," he finished
