Dear, Dear One,
The healer we interviewed today has 8 ribs, and receives information and energy
from some higher intelligence that lives on another planet somewhere. She showed
us how she communicates with them, how she heals, and how she creates
art--through automatic drawings. The pictures start at one point and end in
another, but only use the one line. They're squiggly "naive" type figures with
energy auras of different colors surrounding them, the green ones looking a lot
like broccoli. But she and her husband both are pure salt-of-the-earth looking
small town Russians; he with his hair, white and thin, carefully strained back
from his forehead. They are calm and basically unflappable. She did a drawing
for us, and then healed a woman who she said had died 10 times. She basically
walks around the patient, waving her arms from up in the sky down toward the
patient, and then over the patient, without touching her, and then away from her;
basically it looks like she's bringing energy in from above, and then removing
the bad stuff from within the patient. The big visual was supposed to be her
ability to make bones move without her actually touching the patient. It didn't
happen. But not to worry, says George; he has it on tape elsewhere.
Love ya, Tod

Krasnayarsk
Granddad,
It's 11PM local time and the sun is just setting. We're in Siberia. A region
four times the size of France with a total population of only 3 million people, 1
million of them here in the capital, Krasnayarsk. On the ride from the airport I
find out from our local contact, guide, interpreter, and Tunguska expert, Cathy,
that we're spending Monday night in Tunguska, and that we're the first American
TV crew ever to go to Tunguska.

An extraordinary atmospheric phenomenon was noticed in
this region. At 7:43 a.m. on June 30, a noise as from
a strong wind was heard followed immediately by a
fearful crash accompanied by a subterranean shock which
caused buildings to tremble One had the impression
that some huge beam or heavy stone had possibly struck
the building. This was followed by two further
equally forceful blows The interval between the first
and third blows was accompanied by an extraordinary
underground roar like the sound of a number of trains
passing simultaneously over rails, and then for five or
six minutes followed a sound like artillery fire.
Between 50 and 60 bangs becoming gradually fainter
followed at short and almost regular intervals. A
minute or so later six more distant but quite distinct
bangs resounded and the ground trembled. The intensity
of the first explosion may be judged by the fact that
horses and people were known to have fallen and windows
broken by the vibration. An eyewitness reports before
the first bangs were heard, a heavenly body of fiery
appearance cut across the sky from south to north,
inclined to the northeast. Neither its size nor shape
could be made out owing to its speed and particularly
its unexpectedness. However, many people in different
villages distinctly saw that when the flying object
touched the horizon a huge flame shot up that cut the
sky in two.

Krasnayarsk, the capital of Siberia. There are 3 million people in Siberia, and
one million of them are here. I've met one local; her daughter is to be married
tomorrow. After our shoot, we had our meal, and our Moldavian cognac with
"Lovebeen," a descendent of the Romanoff family. He was banished to Siberia at
some point in Russian history and is the man who may have found the landing place
of the item or object that caused the Tunguskan event. Lovebeen showed us a 1
1/2" piece of manufactured metal that either came from Outer Space or was part of
a downed satellite that crashed in the Siberian hinterlands and embedded itself
inside the piece of rock and stone that has been determined by Russian radio
isotopic analysis to be of meteorite or cometary matter.
SIBERIA TRIP NOTES
On June 30, 1908 a cosmic object collided with earth and devastated part of the
Siberian wilderness near the Podkamennaza Tunguska River. Mysteriously the
visitor left no crater and for decades soviet scientists have searched in vain
for the fragments. The explosion created a distinct pattern of tree fall around
Tunguska spreading over an irregularly shaped 40 by 45 kilometer area. It is
calculated the object measured some 300 feet across and had the force of a 15
megaton nuclear bomb. Upwards of 40,000 trees in the forest were destroyed.
