Ancient “Critters and Entities”, Mr. Bratter’s Photos and Albany New York Plane-Rod"

And so these men of Indostan
disputed loud and long.
Each in his own opinion
exceeding stiff and strong.
Though each was partly in the right,
and they were all in the wrong!"

John Godfrey Saxe    

Mr. James Bratter http://community.webtv.net/JamesB1955/EntityRodsPSCA2000 has kindly sent us some photos that we can not dismiss so easily as insects which we will discuss in a moment, in fact they seem to be completely unlike any common rod-sect photo. These photos most closely resemble the work of Trevor James Constable and are in my (tarnished) opinion worth more study. We mustn’t forget all the recorded falls of strange material though out history. The continuing reports of aerial objects, unexplained life forms, angle hair, star jelly, etc, must not be brushed aside and forgotten. Just because one guy put on some big foot feet, left a bunch of tracks, doesn’t mean that there are no (Gigantopithecus) or big foot in the forests of the world.     

We might as well start early on; perhaps one of the first recorded falls of stuff from heaven was the report of manna in the bible, reports of organic material falling from the sky in such large quantities as to sustain the Israelites in the desert for months. We won’t go into great detail here about that account but suffice to say that something fell from the sky and it would be safe to say it was an unknown. Since then, lots and lots of unexplainable “stuff” have fallen and it all had to come from somewhere, perhaps an organic source.     

These next two images record events that happened around 500 years ago. The reports and images are familiar, looking much as UFO’s and aerial life/critters/entities or the rod-sect images look today.  Make your own decisions as to what they were.

Witnesses claimed the globes, crosses and tubes began to fight one another in the skies above them, this went on for over an hour. Then just as suddenly as it had begun the objects fell to earth burning as if on fire, slowly fading away producing a lot of steam in the process. A short time after the event a black spear-like object was seen, this was taken to be a divine warning issued from God.  When they said, “fading” away one wonders what the objects were constructed of, that would simply “fade” away?

We are very honored here to be able to provide you with images, taken by Mr. James Bratter, in my humble opinion a leading researcher in this field. Out of several photos Mr. Bratter was kind enough to provide to us I have included these because they have areas in the photos or details that seem very strange to me.

                                                   

Now this photo simply gives me the creeps, it seems somehow, unnatural. At first impression you might say, “it’s just a bird” which is exactly what I said. Then I begin to really examine the photo more closely and discovered that the object somehow blurred in two different directions of travel at the same time! You will notice that the leading edge, or what we would assume is the leading edge of this photo (the left side) is blurred around the “head” region as well as the forward leading edge of the “wings”. Now if we look at the trailing edge (the left side) we also see blurring just as we would expect if the creature was moving from right to left, if however the creature/object was moving from the right side of the frame towards the left side we would not see any blurring on the leading (left side) edge. In order for something to blur it has to have traveled though space in that area.     

You can’t blur in an area of space you haven’t yet traveled in! The most obvious explanation is that this object is traveling almost directly away from the camera, or upward and would therefore get smaller as it got a greater distance away. If this is traveling upwards then why does it look like a bird traveling from right to left?       

Another aspect of this photo that doesn’t sit well with me is the fact that the “neck” is much too small for a hawk like bird, it seems somehow too short, almost as if there isn’t even a neck at all, just a head and body. Mr. Bratter has told me he has a number of other photos of this “Thunderbird” entity as he calls it and when those are in and have been processed we will include them here along with discussion. Before someone claims this is a bird, take the time to duplicate the image by filming a bird and then I will be convinced. Until then we cannot make a positive ID on this photo. This next photo taken in the infrared range shows something that would be difficult to identify with any degree of confidence, still it has manifested itself into a strange shape.

    

This next photo was two separate stills that Mr. Bratter sent me and I overlaid them together in one frame so that we would better be able to follow the line of travel of the object. An inch scale was also added to allow us to better gauge the size of this creature.

                                                     

The still looking like something going though a leaf is most particular. For one thing the first image (bottom of frame) is totally different, shape wise as compared to the second photo. Then how does one explain that the object appears to pass directly though the very “solid” leaf? This is completely unlike the common rod-sect images we have been seeing, this photo was taken at 1/100 of a second shutter speed with a high end Canon GL camera much like the one that Denny “Bee-Rod” White used in the infamous bee-rod experiments. Having done some calculations of this photo, we can tell you that this creature is traveling about 10.222 mph and is a bit less then 2 inches in length. These photos provided courtesy of Mr. Bratter, seem to indicate a very strange origin. We will have more of these as time permits and as Mr. Bratter provides them.     

Now a word about the recent film footage captured in Albany New York by Fox 23 News, film footage we wish to add that was confiscated by the FBI and to my knowledge, the FBI hasn’t released or commented on their findings to date. These images were taken from Roger “Sol” Harris’s site and he has the most up to date and livid facts concerning rod-sects. He manages to provide logical information and analysis. http://www.opendb.com/sol/morerods.htm      
He makes a very sane analysis of these photos and give an explanation as to why the anomalous images appears to pass BEHIND the clouds. I strongly encourage anyone reading this to go to his site and examine the material there as he explains it better then I could. Once again I’m not sure I completely understand his explanation but knowing what we know about rod sect imaging I would tend to agree with his assessment, unless some other damming evidence was to present itself.

    

Now when we examine the close up it certainly “appears” as if this object did indeed pass behind these clouds. My understanding of video is limited at best and if any other videographers have a different explanation then Mr. Harris provides, please get in touch with us. Seems very odd to me that the FBI would take such footage and then not be expedient with their findings.

With this quote from an Indian mystic we leave you to ponder the possibilities on your own.

"Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed."

”Siddhartha Gautama” Indian mystic, founder of Buddhism
