“Great and widespread havoc was everywhere visible. Following up this track of desolation, he soon ascertained the cause of it in the shape of an immense stone driven into the side of a mountain. An examination of this stone, or so much of it as was visible, showed that it was divided into compartments that in various places it was carved with curious hieroglyphics. More than this, Mr. Lumley also discovered fragments of a substance resembling glass, and here and there dark stains, as though caused by a liquid. He is confident that the hieroglyphics are the work of human hands, and that the stone itself, although but a fragment of an immense body, must have been used for some purpose by animated beings.”

As reported by Mr. James Lumley in an interview with the Missouri Democrat- October 19, 1865.

Greg: If you google “tifinagh and extraterrestrial” you get Peter Blinn’s analysis of said tape from Marcel. I couldn’t help but notice how Tinariwen’s music c.d. had such an alien script to it — those matrilineal Tuareg’s sure do hide their male emotions behind nice “sand creature” scarves.

Mr. Not Anonymous,

No one is planning to republish, although I want to get in touch with Pazzaglini’s estate and float the idea of printing it up myself. More stuff to do!

Craig,

After I get in touch with Marcel, I’ll post images. I’ve been collecting examples of the tape for about 10 years now. I only have 4 different kinds. I just wanted to present him with a small representative sampling and see if the shapes jog his memory, or as most suspect, he will say something like “That’s nothing like what I saw.”

Drew,

I don’t know if I talk about Alexander much in the book. As far as I know, he was not a “mentor” of any sort to Moore, although they did cross paths mutiple times in the 1980s.

That story from Russia sounds very dubious, but I guess anything is possible, since people supposedly get phone calls from the dead. D. Scott Rogo wrote a book about it.

red pill,

If you download the top (1989) image, you can enlarge it for yourself. The other one may not be available online in high-res. Have a look around and report back.

Uth,

Good points. I thought about this when I was writing the post. Personally, I have little doubt that Dr. Marcel saw something unusual, but the point I think is to have something to present to those who are riding the fence in their interest.

Any update on whether or not Symbolic Messages will see a reprinting?

My own experience is far more pedestrian-when I was much younger,
I studied Japanese for the best part of three years. While I think I could recognize a number of chracters now, I
doubt I could reproduce more than a
handful. Given that Dr. Marcel saw
these symbols for, what, a few hours
at most? I would be surprised if there
were not considerable variation in
reproductions produced years apart.
As for the symbols themselves, I hope
you’ll post a picture of the adhesive
tape you mention-I don’t keep close
track of Roswelliana, and this is the first I’ve heard of it.

OK I finally found it — William Dean Ross as the source for the John Alexander channelled alien language research — from Hidden Mysteries online magazine:

I went to the Edgar Cayce Foundation at Virginia Beach and took some ESP tests. My wife and I aced the tests. The participating crowd and the staff were amazed. They took our names. We then went upstairs to the Library to look around.

While I was reading a Masonic book, I overheard a conversation between several men around the wall. They said that they had just come back from Moscow (it was Aug.1989 and the Wall did not come down until later) and were talking about a secret experiment that was conducted in Sweden. It involved CIA and KGB agents in an underground radio/television wave-proof room trance channeling to the dead. For the first time, they got Albert Einstein on television.

The men attending were Oleg Jeff Minko, a West Virginia University professor and telekinesis expert; Dr. John Sutton, technical Officer of Goddard Space Flight Center; C. B. Scott Jones, NIS/NSA and Pres. of the Human Potential Movement; Col. John Alexander, Leader of the Non-Lethal Weapons Division, of the D.O.D., and Hugh Lynn Cayce, Jr.
