1) BRAZIL'S "DRAB" CAPITAL ALIVE WITH NEW AGE SECTS
By Ian Simpson

BRASILIA (Reuter) - Belying a sterile drabness that even the president of
Poland criticized, Brazil's capital is alive with New Age sects, UFO
enthusiasts and hallucinatory tea drinkers who have included British rocker
Sting.
     Mysticism inspired by Brasilia's location, its creation and prophecies
reaches into the cabinet offices and military headquarters of the
fifth-biggest country on Earth.
     Analysts say an atmosphere where crystals salesmen go door to door and
taxi drivers chat of astral planes makes the capital unique in Latin America.

     "There are literally hundreds of sects. The number you could find in all
of California or Colorado, that's what you'd find in Brasilia," said Jose
Jorge de Carvalho, an anthropology professor at the University of Brasilia.
     "You could say that Brasilia is the first non-Catholic capital in Latin
America," said Carvalho, now a visiting professor at Houston's Rice
University.
     Brasilia's image is such that the local government wants to cash in on
it to boost tourism. Plans are under way for a convention of flying saucer
devotees, with Federal District Tourism Minister Maria Lourdes Abadia saying,
"I want Brasilia to be the gateway to the mystical world."
     As it is, the biggest tourist draw by far is the Goodwill Legion's
seven-sided pyramid-shaped temple topped with a 21-kg (46-pound) crystal.
     More than 220,000 people last year visited the temple, where barefoot
worshippers circle on inlaid marble spirals with palms upwards the better to
channel cosmic energy.
     The ecumenical sect's devotees see the huge crystal as "a catalyst of
natural energy symbolising the unifying nature of God," said Legion spokesman
Vladimir Alves Coite.
     Rock singer Sting is the best-known among recent visitors to Brasilia
seeking spiritual enlightenment.
     The entertainer, a defender of Brazil's rainforest, spent his New Year's
Eve outside Brasilia attending ceremonies of the Vegetable Union, a group
devoted to the use of a bitter hallucinogenic tea from the Amazon jungles
called ayahuasca.
     Ayahuasca is used by the Vegetable Union and its allied sect Santo Daime
in rituals that can include chanting, wind chimes, taped whale cries and
dancing until dawn.
     "With this tea ritual you are much more conscious of what is going on in
your life and work," said Edmir Oliveira, a masseur turned Santo Daime guru,
before starting a ceremony surrounded by candles, statues of saints, Stars of
David, books on Hinduism and numerology and a cross with a crystal at its
junction.
     Brasilia's lively spiritualism comes despite its reputation for
sterility. Even Polish President Lech Walesa criticized the endless freeways
and worn concrete high-rises on a recent visit, saying, "The buildings are
just like we have in Poland."
     The attraction of Brasilia's scrubland plateau for such groups as the
New Acropolis, the Extraterrestrial Team of Sobradinho and the Valley of the
Dawn Aquarian community arises from several factors, said anthropologist
Carvalho.
     Brasilia is built on rocks more than a billion years old, some of the
most ancient on Earth. That makes the area safe, some believe, from
earthquake and nuclear attack and the likely site for the return of Jesus
Christ.
     The 19th-century mystic Dom Bosco also foresaw a great city arising in
central Brazil that would start a new civilisation.
     The city is built on a pattern of a rough cross and was founded in 1960
by President Juscelino Kubitschek, who foresaw in it a "dawning" for Brazil.
Planners also distributed land to all religious groups and sects, not just
the Catholic Church.
     Jose Roberto Mariano, an astrologer who has designed tarot cards based
on Brasilia sites, said the city's greatest source of mystic energy arose at
Kubitschek's tomb.
     "There's an energy rift there," he said. "The city is like the Grand
Canyon in the United States, a centre of power."

2) THE LAZAR SYNOPSIS, Part One
by Gene Huff

[Editor's Note: From the moment he "went public" in mid-1989, Bob Lazar
became one of the most controversial figures associated with the UFO subject.
The following report, to be presented in three parts, has been written by Las
Vegas businessman Gene Huff, who probably knows more about Lazar's story than
anyone but Bob himself. Gene believes Bob's claims and defends him; as such,
skeptics may be inclined to dismiss Gene's views as unreliable. CNI News is
well aware of accusations concerning Lazar's schooling (or lack of), legal
difficulties, and other credibility problems. This report is offered as a
basis for further discussion, and CNI News welcomes reader response. This
report was originally posted on ALTUFO-L Digest on March 12 and is reproduced
here with Gene Huff's permission. Gene can be reached by email at

Gene's text follows:

This is a synopsis of Bob Lazar's story which is being offered as a ground
zero for future dialogue. After coming to the internet a short time ago, I
noticed that people's knowledge of Bob's story varied widely. This is an
effort to increase that knowledge base so people who either support or
dismiss Bob's story do it for the right reasons. Bob's story is long and
complex and in this document I've tried to condense it to a manageable size
without omitting relevant points. I'm going to emphasize how things looked
from my point of view. I won't elaborate on propulsion systems and things of
that sort, so if you want that you can get it on the Lazar Tape and hear if
from Bob himself. So here we go...

In the late 1980's I was working as a real estate appraiser in Las Vegas, and
still am for that matter. Bob Lazar, known as "Bob, the photo guy" to most
Las Vegas appraisers, operated the photo lab that serviced many appraisers at
that time. Bob and I had met in 1985 and by 1988 we had become friends and
began to socialize together. Bob's wife, Tracy, usually did the photo
deliveries to our office and, at first, I had talked to her and seen her a
lot more than Bob. Periodically she would talk about when she and Bob lived
in Los Alamos, not together, and I just presumed that he ran a photo lab down
there. Bob and Tracy met when Tracy was hired to work at a business run buy
Bob's first wife, Carol. Tracy's dad, Don Merck, worked at the Los Alamos
National Lab (LANL from here on out) and that's how she happened to be living
there. Don worked on the conventional charge that implodes and compresses the
nuke material to make an atomic bomb explode.
     After Bob and I started socializing, I began to notice that he knew a
lot about many things. I knew that he was somewhat of an egghead because,
when he would do a rare photo delivery, he would drive a Honda CRX in which
he had installed a jet engine. But his knowledge base extended far beyond
that.  There was little he didn't know about jet engines, combustion engines,
electronics, computer hardware and software, etc. He even made some
nitroglycerin one day while we sat talking at the kitchen table. We later
took it out to the desert and blew it up; that's how I knew it was, indeed, a
high energy explosive.
     Eventually, I asked him why he knew all of this stuff. He said, "I've
got degrees in physics and electronic technology." I said, "Well, what's the
difference between you and a scientist?" He said, "I AM a scientist." I said,

"Why didn't you tell me?" He said, "What did you want me to do, say hey man,
I'm a scientist"? I said, "Yeah, I would have." He just shook his head and
walked away. I later found out that he had worked at the Meson Physics
facility at LANL.

     All this time, I just thought he was some guy who ran a photo lab and
just happened to have an interest in jet engines. He also had, and still has,
a rail type dragster with a jet engine from one of the military's first
supersonic fighters. Anyway, in time, I met Bob's dad, Al; his mother,
Phyllis; Tracy's dad, Don; Joe Vaninetti, an old friend from Los Alamos
(Joe's last job at LANL was melting down plutonium. He is currently
completing his masters in soils analysis (soils science?) up in Utah. You'll
hear more about Joe later); Melissa Crey (maybe Cray), Joe's roommate and a
physicist at LANL; and Jim Tagliani, and old friend and computer & electronic
tech. All of these people seemed to think Bob was a scentist and, to this
day, I have no reason to doubt him and numerous reasons to believe him. Jim
Tagliani actually worked with Bob at Fairchild Electronics in southern
California where Bob was the youngest electrical engineer ever to have worked
there. This was a couple of years prior to Bob's Los Alamos job.
     At this point, in 1988, Bob was bored with the photo lab and had sent
out resumes to various government labs to try and get back into another
scientific job. Included on that list was Dr. Edward Teller, the father of
the hydrogen bomb and scientific consultant to the last five or six
presidents. Bob had met Teller in 1982 in Los Alamos when Teller was there
lecturing. Coincidentally, at this same time, Bob's picture was on the front
page of the Los Alamos Monitor newspaper. A staff writer named Terry England
had done an article on Bob and a Honda CRX in which he had installed a jet
engine. This wasn't the same jet CRX he had when I first met him. This
article ran in the June 27, 1982 edition of that paper and in it they refer
to Bob as, and I quote, "Lazar, a physicist at the Los Alamos Meson Physics
Facility." It's difficult to believe that in a town of 10,000 scientists, who
all have egos about their credentials, the only local newspaper could refer
to Bob as a scientist if he was not one, at least not without any public
outrage. Anyway, when Bob arrived early to hear Teller speak, there Teller
sat reading the newspaper article about Bob. Bob used this as an avenue to
introduce himself and they had a short chat about jets, etc. Bob later heard
Teller's speech and that was that. So in 1988 when Bob sent out all of these
resumes, he thought, why not take a shot?
     It had been a while since he sent out these resumes and one day I
dropped by his house and asked him if he had heard any news. He said, "As a
matter of fact, yeah, Edward Teller called me." I said, "Who's Edward
Teller?" After he explained, I understood the importance of the call. Teller
had responded by phone and said that he was no longer active, but currently
worked in a chief consultant capacity. However, Teller did give Bob the name
of a gentleman to call here in Las Vegas. Bob called this guy and talked to
him and a short time later, someone from EG&G called Bob to set up an
interview. EG&G is a company that has all kinds of high tech interests here
at the Nevada Test Site. Bob threw away the piece of paper with the name
Teller gave him on it. Remember, at this point in time, nobody knew what Bob
was headed for and it's obvious that it would be nice to have that name now.
     So Bob went to EG&G for the interview. Bob later told me that he
"dazzled" them by having every answer to some pretty complex questions and he
was optimistic about getting the job. This was unusual because Bob isn't one
to pat himself on the back. However, dazzling them temporarily backfired
because they told him he was overqualified for the job and he didn't get it.
They then told him not to lose hope because they had something coming up that
he might be interested in. Ultimately, they called him back and hired him to
work on a propulsion project in an "outer area."
     Bob reported to the EG&G building at McCarran airport, which had runway
access, where he was met by Dennis Mariani. Mariani was a security man of
medium build and heighth, about 35 to 40 years old, blond hair and a tightly
cropped blond mustache. Mariani had a military look and manner, but he didn't
wear a uniform. With Mariani as his escort, Bob was flown out to Area 51 at
Groom Lake.
     At Area 51, Bob had to sign a secrecy agreement and an agreement to
waive his constitutional rights, which is illegal but was made possible by an
executive order with Ronald Reagan's signature on it. He also had to sign an
agreement which allowed them to monitor his phone line. Bob already had "Q"
clearance, which is top secret civilian clearance, at Los Alamos but he had
never gone through anything like this. The clearance he was now attaining
would require perpetual monitoring of his activities and would never simply
be attained and forgotten about until the next review date. After some abrupt
suggestions that he honor his secrecy agreement and watch his general
conduct, he and Mariani boarded a bus with blacked out windows and took a 20
to 30 minute ride down a bumpy dirt/gravel road. They arrived at a base near
Papoose dry lake bed known as S4.
     S4 was a combination of buildings and hangars built into the side of a
mountain. Armed guards were everywhere, and security was oppressive. Bob even
got an armed escort when he went to the bathroom. They arranged Bob's I.D.
and gave him a physical which included a test for allergic reactions to
substances which were not identified for Bob. After this he was placed in a
briefing room by himself to read some briefings as part of his
indoctrination. As Mariani closed the door to leave Bob alone, Bob saw a
poster on the back of the door. It was a "flying saucer" hovering over a dry
lake bed and it was captioned, "They're Here." Bob opened the top folder on
the desk and it contained 8 x 10 glossy photos of 9 different flying saucers,
including the one on the poster.
     To this day, no one knows why Bob was selected for this project. Bob has
a comprehensive knowledge base and is an excellent problem solver, but this
may not be uncommon in the scientific community. Maybe the good word from
Edward Teller carried a lot of weight. It's even possible that the nod from
Teller carried more weight than was originally intended; no one knows.
     At this point in time, Tracy helped with the photo lab during the day
and worked out at a health club and took flying lessons at night. Bob was on
call for S4 and would generally be called to go out once every week or two.
They said he'd be working on an on-call basis until he was "brought up to
speed," at which time he would work on a more consistant basis. They'd always
have Bob report in the late afternoon and work evenings which allowed him to
maintain the photo lab during the day. Bob was now very secretive about his
job and would only tell his wife and friends that he was working on something
that required clearance. He eventually did tell us that he flew into Area 51
when he went to work. We had no idea what he was actually doing and, because
of that, none of us were overly curious as to what his project was.

     Around this same time, KLAS-TV, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, had been
running local news shows featuring UFO researchers, which I found
entertaining and intriguing. These shows were hosted by George Knapp, a local
news anchor who is now high profile and arguably the most informative and
motivating speaker on the UFO circuit. George doesn't speak as regularly as
"UFO experts," but is infinitely more informed than them, especially about
things ufological in Nevada. On these shows, much ado was being made about
alleged UFOs and aliens at Area 51. Bob assured us that there were no UFOs at
Area 51. As it ended up, he was telling the truth. They were at S4 and they
were called "discs" and they were anything but "unidentified."
     Bob had been hired to be part of a "back engineering" team. Back
engineering is the act of taking apart a finished product to find out what
makes it tick. In this instance, their job was to back engineer a flying disc
to see if it could be reproduced with earth materials. Bob's specific job was
to help back engineer the propulsion system. In subsequent trips to S4, Bob
was exposed to the propulsion system on a bench in a lab, as well as the
propulsion system, in place, in a disc.  In a sleek disc he would eventually
nickname the "sport model," Bob had to hang upside down through an opening on
the floor of the central level to view the gravity amplifiers on the lower
level. He eventually witnessed a brief, low altitude test flight of this same
disc. He was also taught how the discs are able to distort space/time to
achieve interstellar travel. The "Sport Model" disc is currently being
produced as a plastic model by the Testor Corporation.

3) STRANGE HORSE DEATH IN SALMON, IDAHO
by Linda Moulton Howe

Bill Hill was a police officer in the Peoria, Illinois for twenty-five years
and then retired to the mountain wilderness of Salmon, Idaho. He purchased
some horses for his ranch which stretches along a dead-end road. There is no
to help back entraffic because there is no way to go beyond his property.
     On January 12, 1995, he bought a healthy, young male buckskin. Then
fourteen days later, he found the horse lying dead three hundred feet from
his house on two inches of fresh snow.
     "I could not understand what I was looking at," Mr. Hill told me. "There
were no tracks around the horse, no signs of struggle, and no blood. Yet, a
large section of hide had been cut from the belly taking the surface skin of

the testicles and penis with it, but leaving the organs intact without the
surface skin. On one side of the neck, there was a large hole that went in
about two to three inches. The hole was filled with blood, but nothing was
leaking onto the snow. And steam was rising from the wounds. So I must have
come upon the horse soon after he was killed and cut up."
     Mr. Hill called the sheriff's office and a veterinarian. At first it was
assumed the neck hole had been caused by a bullet. However, the veterinarian
confirmed there was no bullet and that "nothing was broken up inside the
neck." Mr. Hill said that when he asked the veterinarian about the wounds,
she answered, "I have never seen anything like this before and I don't have
any answers for you."
