. See Drosnin. Drosnin’s claims that the letters of the Hebrew Bible contained a code giving predictions of future events, which could be unlocked using sophisticated computer programs, received worldwide publicity in 1997. However researchers have since found that the same programs produce similar results with Hebrew versions of War
and
Peace and
Moby
Dick. Predictably, these findings have received far less publicity than Drosnin’s original claims. See

When, on Art Bell’s radio show on 14 November 1996, Courtney Brown announced the ‘discovery’ by remote viewing of the spaceship trailing Hale-Bopp, he supported it with a photograph that he claimed had been leaked to him by an anonymous astrophysicist. Strieber subsequently posted this on his website (where it was quickly exposed as a fake, being a doctored version of a picture taken by the University of Hawaii’s observatory. See Keith, ‘Reptoids stole my Meteorite’).
As Strieber has pointed out, his posting of the photograph did not constitute endorsement of Brown’s claims. However, prior to its exposure he did encourage the public to ‘meditate and try to establish a link’ with the beings aboard the hypothetical spaceship. See postings on Strieber’s website

One notorious example is the ‘Enterprise’, a group of CIA operatives and Pentagon officials who, for over twenty years from the early 1960s to the 1980s, used their positions, access to covert channels and the protection of National Security legislation to profit from various illegal activities, primarily arms and drugs dealing and including heroin trafficking from the Far East during the Vietnam War, profiting from inflating the prices of arms supplies to the Shah of Iran in the 1970s and cocaine smuggling from Central America in the early 1980s. Operations expanded as promotions gave the members access to more and more covert power — one member, Theodore Shackley, nearly became CIA director in the 1970s - until a series of scandals in the 1980s revealed the extent of their operations. Despite exposure, and the naming of the individuals concerned in the media, only one member of the Enterprise, Edwin P. Wilson, was ever prosecuted, the others being forced to resign. Wilson was sentenced to fifty-two years’ maximum security imprisonment in 1982 for supplying explosives to Libya. See Cockburn; Maas.

The report was originally commissioned by the US Office of Education in 1968, but four years later it withdrew funding, after which the study was, apparently, financed internally by SRI. The final report was published in 1973, although it did not receive widespread circulation until 1982, when it was published by Robert Maxwell’s Pergamon Press as one of the 1,000 most important works of modem times.

The theme of twins runs through Dogon mythology and folklore.
For example, the original Nommo were two sets of male and female twins. The Dogon also believe that the first human beings, their ancestors, were created in pairs of twins. See Griaule and Dieterlen, pp360-62; Marti, pp53-6.

Afterword

The Great Pyramid was finally reopened on 3 June 1999, although with a strict limit on the number of visitors allowed in each day. There is still pressure from Egyptian archaeologists, such as Dr Hawass, for visitors to be excluded altogether because of the potential for damage to the interior of the monument.
