SAUFOR XPLoReS the Bayan-Kara-Ula Stone Discs

A bizarre incident lends credence to the theory that beings from other worlds have landed upon the earth. On February 26, 1967, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner reported the following:

RIDDLE OF ASIAN STONE DISCS FROM OUTER SPACE:

"Russian archaeologists are puzzling over a remarkable collection of stone discs, thousands of years old, found in the mountains bordering China and Tibet. So hard is it to explain them in terms of earthly experience that the archaeologists do not rule out the possibility that the discs may have come from outer space.

"A total of 716 discs, like Stone Age gramophone records have been picked up in recent years by men exploring caves in the Bayan-Kara- Ula mountain range, reports the Soviet Union's new English-language magazine, Sputnik.

"Each disc has a central hole and irregular grooves spiraling out to the edge, but the report says (quite seriously) that the groves are not sound tracks. It is thought that they are some form of ancient writing, but scientists have so far failed to decipher them.

"Chinese archaeologists estimate that the discs are about 12,000 years old, but have made no headway at all in trying to explain their purpose or how they came to be in the caves.

"The Russians, who have examined some of the discs in a Moscow laboratory, claim to have made two important discoveries. One is that the discs contain certain traces of metal - particularly cobalt.

"The second discovery, according to Vyacheslav Zaitsev, author of the Sputnik report, is that the discs when scraped free of rock particles vibrate as if they carried an electric charge.

"Zaitsev, who has spent 30 years collecting evidence that intelligent beings from outer space have had contact with the earth, believes that the discs may give substance to ancient Chinese legends of small, gaunt, yellow-faced men who came down from the clouds many centuries ago.

"`In some of the Bayan-Kara-Ula caves,' he writes, archaeologists and spelaeologists have found 12,000-year-old vestiges of graves and skeletons. The remains belong to human beings with huge craniums and underdeveloped skeletons.

"`The Chinese expeditions which discovered the burial grounds reported that they had found an extinct species of ape,' adds Zaitsev. `But so far as is known apes do not bury each other in graves or write hieroglyphic symbols on stone discs.'"

The above article, although published in 1967, referred to discoveries made back in 1938 by a Chinese archaeologist named Chi Pu Tei. Drawings on the cave walls portrayed beings with round helmets, and drawings of the sun, moon and stars were shown with interconnecting rows of dots. The interconnecting dots could possibly portray the routes traveled by the ancestors of the beings in the graves or might have been drawn to show the outerspace origin of the ones who perished there in the caves.

This latter theory is based on several remarkable things, which turned up in later years when the caves were more thoroughly investigated and the hieroglyphics on the stone discs were finally translated.

The Russian scientist Alexander Kassanzev is quoted as making the following statements about the stone discs and the graves in the caves:

"For twenty years several clever men racked their brains to solve the riddle of the stone plates. Not until 1962 was Professor Tsum Um Nui of the Academy of Prehistoric Research in Peking (China) able to decipher parts of the incised script..

The story that was deciphered was so hair raising that at first the Academy for Prehistoric Research forbade Tsum Um Nui to publish his work at all.

"Tsum Um Nui is a stubborn fellow; he went on working doggedly. He could not prove without any doubt that the incised script was not just a bad practical joke by some authority on prehistoric writing.

For even serious scholars often show a sense of humor. Think of Piltdown man. In cooperation with geologists, he showed that the stone plates had a high cobalt and metal content. Physicists found out that all seven hundred and sixteen plates had a vibration rhythm, which led to the conclusion that they has been exposed to very high voltages at some time.

"Tsum Um Nui now had four scientists who supported his theory. In 1963, he decided to publish it in spite of the Academy's doubts.. Very recently our philologist Dr. Vyatcheslav Saizev (Zaitsev) published extracts from the stoneplate story in the periodical Sputnik. The whole story is preserved in the Peking Academy and the historical archives of Taipeh in Formosa."

The story is only upsetting and bizarre to people who are unwilling to face things that may throw light on our origin. The stone-plate story says that twelve thousand years ago, reckoned from today (1968), a group of their people had crashed onto the third planet of this system. Their aircraft - that is the exact translation of the groove hieroglyphs - no longer had enough power to leave this world again. They had been destroyed in the remote and inaccessible mountains. There had been no means and materials for building new aircraft.

"these beings who had crashed on earth tried to make friends with the inhabitants of the mountains, but had been hunted down and killed.

The story ends almost literally: Men, women, and children hid themselves in the caves until sunset. Then they believed the sign and saw that the others had come with peaceful intentions this time. That's more or less, how it ends.

"There are the graves in rows, the rock drawings, and the plates themselves. And there are also the Chinese sagas, which precisely in the Baian Kara Ula region tell of small spindly yellow beings who came down from the clouds. The myth goes on to say that the alien creatures were shunned by the Dropas because of their ugliness, indeed they were killed by the men in the 'quick way,'"

While the foregoing quote is quite long, I thought it was necessary to establish fully what has been happening over the years while being generally unknown by the public. I think it is interesting to speculate about the dotted lines running between the stars and planets drawn in the cave. It sounds very much like the star map drawn by Betty Hill, as described in John G. Fuller's book THE INTERRUPTED JOURNEY.
