But if the stones were all split off from the same big block, why are they different colours as if they came from different blocks like these in the Tokyo Imperial Palace wall?-

Weathering, plants, transport or geologic layers can all explain such, however I suspect this is some sort of Lichen discolouring the stone, as you can see it peeling off 4 stones above the pretty lady in the middle. Check out the rocks in your quarry example again. One on the top is a distinct red, a different colour from the others.

Geologic layers




North of me, in WOH country, there is a beach called Rainbow Beach. The rocks erode away and give off coloured sands, creating quite an interesting effect in some places.

OOPS, sorry about that, an accident I swear, it is Rainbow Beach though, so I will leave it for perspective - hang on

Lovely isn't it! Quite common too. The below formation is in Hong Kong.







This is not coloured, but a geological formation that has always impressed me immensely. I hope to see it in person some day. Nature is indeed an artist.

George Noory has sunk the Coast to Coast ship himself. they have the most amount of listeners now than ever and the show is turning into crap. I can see the money part of this whole thing more clearly now. I started listenig to CTC when I was 11. RIP Art Bell is all I have to say.

The only episode of AA that isnt just pure SCI FI is the Nazi episode. there are some truths in that one.

let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you cant explain, but you feel it...

gold? Not only is it 91 floors, but there's an enormous gold ball in the middle of it? Some people really do have more money than sense. :-/

Just for show, the illustrations is a little misleading in that it is not a solid sphere as such, the weight is "tuned" into the structure, and consists of many steel plates bolted together to make a sphere. Up close, it looks a bit more like this

Organics wont be identical across the Universe,we might have the best chocolate, or the most, either way, for sure it would be a drawcard.

It does not matter if we are the only people who have it, the allure is astounding. People even fight over chocolate.

See.




Now who would want to get in the middle of that vicious battle? Chocolate makes people go to great lengths. It might even be an intoxicant or medecine to some species. Some may consider it more valuable than gold.

Of course, that might all be wrong too

I can see that you lot are keen to try out your diplomacy skills!! Good to see even we skeptics are ready for anything! Like Seeder, it is a bit scary there being two of them, but hey, for the team, I guess I could wander in and try to negotiate whirled peas.

anyway, wheres zoser and crikey? did we say sumfin?

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

Zoser's in the UK, it's entirely possible that he's literally snowed in and lost his Internet connection.
Crickey's had his "fun" with us and I think's moved onto the History section.

In summary AA is comprised of lies, mistakes, half truths and ignorance. You would know that if you watched the vid.

Let's do a deal muchachos! - i'll watch the vid if you guys go watch a "Bible Evidence of ET Visitation" vid..

you need to go over to the religion section of the forum and stop posting such clap trap here

What's religion got to do with anything?
Here PC Alan Godfrey sketches the UFO that blocked his patrol car and abducted him-



And here's Ezekiels biblical close encounter-
"I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal...a wheel intersecting a wheel...I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking, he said...stand up on your feet and I will speak to you"



See my point?  A UFO sighting report is a UFO sighting report no matter whether it's in the local paper or in the Bible or the Bhagavad-Gita, Vedic scriptures, Native American folklore or anywhere else, so it's our DUTY as open-minded investigators to examine ALL reports no matter where they are..
