Hundreds of eyewitnesses watched in fear and awe as space ships hovered over
|
|
the French city of LYons a thousand years ago, according to historical records
|
|
and written accounts.
|
|
|
|
Alien pilots even landed and gave tours of their home planet and bases to
|
|
volunteers, calims Andrew Tomas, author of more than 60 books on UFOs and
|
|
ancient astronauts.
|
|
|
|
Citing written accounts from before the time of Christ, Tomas, 89, syas the
|
|
aliens were from ancient secret bases in China, Tibet and India.
|
|
|
|
Apperance of the UFOs was preceded by freak weather patterns in the eighth and
|
|
ninth centuries, where storms and hail destroyed crops in France and other
|
|
parts of Europe.
|
|
|
|
People also noticed mysterious flying objects in the sky.
|
|
|
|
SPIRITS OF AIR
|
|
|
|
These objects, declared charlemagne, emperor of France and much of Europe,
|
|
were evil "spirits of the air" an respondsible for the bad weather.
|
|
|
|
But some educated men, including Zedechias, a Jewish mystic, and Agobard, the
|
|
archbishop of Lyons, apparently knew the objects in the sky were not evil
|
|
spirits but "immorals" known to an inner circle for more than a thousand
|
|
years. "Zedechias appealed to the 'Celestials' to make themselves visible so
|
|
that they could demonstrate their peaceful and kind intentions," Tomas says.
|
|
|
|
A number of "wonderfully constructed aerial ships" appeared over Lyons between
|
|
830 and 833.
|
|
|
|
Thsi scared a lot of people who believed the ships were evil spirits as
|
|
Charlemagne had said.
|
|
|
|
"To offset the alarm and prejudice against them," says Tomas, "the
|
|
'Celestials' landed their cloud ships' and took volunteers on flights to their
|
|
distant land and to explain their customs."
|
|
|
|
However, when volunteers returned, superstitious peasants, incited by priests
|
|
and others, tortured and killed them.
|
|
|
|
Archbishop Agobard rescued four volunteers by convincing a frenzied mob they
|
|
had imagined what they claimed to have seen.
|
|
|
|
After their release into his custody, Agobard questioned them and wrote of
|
|
their air flight and "other marvels" they'd seen.
|
|
|
|
TORTURED
|
|
|
|
"They claim there is a region called Magonia whence ships came in the clouds,"
|
|
wrote the archbishop, later canonized a saint by the Catholic Church Magonia,
|
|
Tomas believes, was on of three UFO bases known to certain mystics for more
|
|
than a thousand years.
|
|
|
|
One of these, according to Chinese legend, was located in the "lofty Kun Lun
|
|
mountains and tis hidden valley," he explains.
|
|
|
|
"It was the abode of immortals who flew from their secret sanctuary to the
|
|
stars."
