51  ...one-way glass..."

"A two-way mirror, also called a one-way mirror, is a mirror which is partially reflective and
partially transparent. It is used with a darkened room on one side and a well-lit room on the
other, allowing those in the darkened room to see into the lighted room but not vice versa.
The glass is coated with (or in some cases encases a layer of) a very thin almost transparent
layer of metal (generally aluminum). The result is what appears to be a mirror from one side,
and tinted glass from the other. A viewer in the brightly lit area has difficulty seeing into the
darkened room, through what appears to be a mirror.

To take full advantage of the partially mirrored surface, the target side should be brightly lit,
to obscure any hint of light coming through the glass from the viewer's side. The darkened
room is only completely obscured when it is in complete darkness. Sometimes a darkened
curtain or a double door type vestibule is used to keep the viewer's side darkened.

A flashlight held against the glass can be used to illuminate the darkened viewer's side,
allowing someone on the lit side to see through. Two-way mirrors are used for:

•providing security, through covert viewing of public spaces
•for the protection of covert cameras
•for some police interrogation rooms"

52  "...Sanskrit of the Vedic Hymns..."

"Sanskrit (सःकतावाकsa sk tāvāk, for short सःकतमsa sk tam) is a classical
language of South Asia, a liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, and
one of the 23 official languages of India.

Its position in the cultures of South and Southeast Asia is akin to that of Latin and Greek in
Europe and it has evolved into, as well as influenced, many modern-day languages of the
world. It appears in pre-Classical form as Vedic Sanskrit, with the language of the Rigveda
being the oldest and most archaic stage preserved. Dating back to as early as 1500 BCE,
Vedic Sanskrit is the earliest attested Indo-Aryan language, and one of the earliest attested
members of the Indo-European language family.

The corpus of Sanskrit literature encompasses a rich tradition of poetry and drama as well
as scientific, technical, philosophical and religious texts. Today, Sanskrit continues to be
widely used as a ceremonial language in Hindu religious rituals in the forms of hymns and
mantras. Spoken Sanskrit is still in use in a few traditional institutions in India, and there are
some attempts at revival.

The scope of this article is the Classical Sanskrit language as laid out in the grammar of
Panini, around the 4th century BCE."

53  "Part of the search required interaction with the human population that inhabited
the adjoining at that time."

-- Editor's Note: (The western borders of Pakistan include the Khyber Pass and Bolan
Pass, traditional invasion routes between Central Asia. The closest civilization using
Sanskrit at the date and nearest the location of "The Domain Base" would have been in the
foothills of the Himalayas. This was the in the area of "Mehrgarh", an early beginning of the
Indus Valley civilization which has been recently excavated.)

"(Bolan Pass (Urdu: ) is a mountain pass through the Toba Kakar Range of mountains in western Pakistan, 120 kilometres from the Afghanistan border. Strategically located, traders, invaders, and nomadic tribes have also used it as a gateway to and from the South Asia.)

The Khyber Pass, (also spelled Khaiber or Khaybar) (Urdu: ) (altitude: 1,070 m , 3,510 ft) is the mountain pass that links Pakistan and Afghanistan. Throughout history it has been an important trade route between Central Asia and South Asia and a strategic military location.

"Mehrgarh is now seen as a precursor to the Indus Valley Civilization. "Discoveries at
Mehrgarh changed the entire concept of the Indus civilization," according to Ahmad Hasan
Dani, professor emeritus of archaeology at Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad, "There we
have the whole sequence, right from the beginning of settled village life.

The Kachi plain and in the Bolan basin (are) situated at the Bolan peak pass, one of the
main routes connecting southern Afghanistan, eastern Iran, the Balochistan hills and the
Indus valley. This area of rolling hills is thus located on the western edge of the Indus valley,
where, around 2500 BC, a large urban civilization emerged at the same time as those of
Mesorpotamia and the ancient Egyptian empire. For the first time in the Indian subcontinent,
a continuous sequence of dwelling-sites has been established from 7000 BC to 500 BC. The
chalcolithic people of Mehrgarh also had contacts with contemporaneous cultures in
northern Afghanistan, northeastern Iran and southern central Asia.

in April 2006, it was announced in the scientific journal Nature that the oldest (and first early
Neolithic) evidence for the drilling of human teeth in vivo (i.e. in a living person) was found in
Mehrgarh. According to the authors, their discoveries point to a tradition of proto-dentistry in
the early farming cultures of that region. "Here we describe eleven drilled molar crowns from
nine adults discovered in a Neolithic graveyard in Pakistan that dates from 7,500 to 9,000
years ago."

54  "... they reported sighting "vimanas" or space craft in the area.."

"A vimāna (Sanskrit: ��वमान) is a mythical flying machine, described in the Sanskrit epics.
The predecessors of the flying vimanas of the Sanskrit epics are the flying chariots
employed by various gods in the Vedas.

The first flying vimana mentioned in Hindu mythology:

"The Pushpaka chariot that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was
brought by the powerful Ravana; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at
will .... that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky ... and the King [Rama] got in,
and the excellent car at the command of the Raghira, rose up into the higher
atmosphere.'

The Rigveda does not mention Vimanas, but verses RV 1.164.47-48 have been taken as
evidence for the idea of "mechanical birds":

"Dark the descent: the birds are golden-coloured; up to the heaven they fly robed in
the waters.

Again descend they from the seat of Order, and all the earth is moistened with their
fatness."

"Twelve are the fellies, and the wheel is single; three are the naves. What man hath
understood it?

Therein are set together spokes three hundred and sixty, which in nowise can be
loosened." (trans. Griffith)

In Dayananda Saraswati's "translation", these verses become:

"jumping into space speedily with a craft using fire and water ... containing twelve
stamghas (pillars), one wheel, three machines, 300 pivots, and 60 instruments."
But likelier in the original Indian symbolism when that hymn was composed, the wheel is a
year, the 12 "fellies" are months (lunations), and the 360 spokes are days.

In the Ramayana, the pushpaka ("flowery") vimana of Ravana is described as follows:

"The Pushpaka chariot that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was
brought by the powerful Ravana; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at
will .... that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky ... and the King [Rama] got in,
and the excellent car at the command of the Raghira, rose up into the higher
atmosphere.'

It is the first flying vimana mentioned in Hindu mythology (as distinct from the gods' flying
horse-drawn chariots).

Pushpaka was originally made by Maya for Kubera, the God of wealth, but was later stolen,
along with Lanka, by his half-brother, the demon king Ravana.

One example is that the Asura Maya had a Vimana measuring twelve cubits in
circumference, with four strong wheels. Apart from 'blazing missiles', the poem records the
use of other deadly weapons. 'Indra's Dart' (Indravajrā) operated via a circular 'reflector'.
When switched on, it produced a 'shaft of light' which, when focused on any target,
immediately 'consumed it with its power'.

In one exchange, the hero, Krishna, is pursuing his enemy, Salva, in the sky, when Salva's
Vimana, the Saubha, is made invisible in some way. Undeterred, Krishna immediately fires
off a special weapon: "I quickly laid on an arrow, which killed by seeking out sound".

Many other terrible weapons are described in the Mahabharata, but the most fearsome of all
is the one used against the Vrishis. The narrative records:

"Gurkha flying in his swift and powerful Vimana hurled against the three cities of the
Vrishnis and Andhakas a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as ten thousands suns, rose
in all its splendour. It was the unknown weapon, the Iron Thunderbolt, a gigantic
messenger of death which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and
Andhakas."

55  " I have now scanned all of the books and material you provided me. This has been processed through the computers of the space station in this region, translated into my own language and relayed back to me. "

Editors Note -- Apparently Airl is able to "scan" something she sees through the lenses of
her "doll body" eyes, upload the data to a computer on the "space station", have it processed
and downloaded to her? Or, maybe she does it telepathically? This is not clarified
anywhere in the transcripts or notes.

56  "... I was "outside" of my body, looking down from the ceiling..."

"An out-of-body experience (OBE), is an experience that typically involves a sensation of
floating outside of one's body and, in some cases, perceiving one's physical body from a
place outside one's body (autoscopy). About one in ten people has reported having an outof-body experience at some time in their lives. It is claimed that those experiencing an OBE
sometimes observe details which were unknown to them beforehand.

The first extensive scientific study of OBEs was made by Celia Green (1968). She collected
written, first-hand accounts from a total of 400 subjects, recruited by means of appeals in the
mainstream media, and followed up by questionnaire. some 80% reported feeling they were
a ‘disembodied consciousness’, with no external body at all.

Another form of a spontaneous OBE occurs during a near death experience (NDE). The
phenomenology of an NDE usually includes physiological, psychological and transcendental
factors (Parnia, Waller, Yeates & Fenwick, 2001) such as impressions of being outside the
physical body (an out-of-body experience), Typically the experience follows a distinct
progression, starting with the sensation of floating above one's body and seeing the
surrounding area."
