An essay by S D Anugyan on the phenomenon of plasma
Scientists used to think most of the universe was missing
(Just as I think most of my life is missing),
Till they realised they weren’t looking in the right way.From ‘Troubadours’, S D Anugyan
During the last lockdown in the UK, I was staying in the hills above Mount’s Bay in Cornwall. Almost every day I would go for a circular walk varying in diameter but always finishing at a nearby field adjacent to my house. Often I would take the house dog with me. For most of the walk she would behave, as dogs do, running around, sniffing, exploring and being reluctant to come back when called; but when we got to the final field her behaviour invariably altered. She would suddenly be the most well-trained dog in the world, following behind, less than a metre from my ankles. Then once we left the field she would be off again. I tried many times experimentally to get her to run wild as was her wont, but she just wouldn’t for the entire width of that field. After a while, I gave up trying because I knew why she was behaving this way. There was something – invisible to the eye – observing us.
I had noticed it when alone as well. It was a tangible presence about thirty metres above the field. I could sense it was quite large but wasn’t sure how large exactly. A few times I stopped, attempting to see something to no avail. I even waved on occasion, wondering if it were an invisible craft with occupants observing us and that they would reciprocate with some kind of gesture. If the dog were with me, rather than run ahead as she would at other places, she would stay by my feet, her head down. After a while, I just accepted the presence and ignored it. A few months later I left the area. When I returned about a year after the lockdown, the presence had gone. There was nothing there. The dog knew this also, and would run about the field gaily as she would elsewhere.
Reading Robert Temple’s A New Science of Heaven, I may know what that presence was now. The book is about plasma, also known as the fourth state of matter – after solids, liquids and gases. Plasma is essentially a mass of charged particles, such as the aurora borealis, and it comprises 99% of the known universe. This is extraordinary because it means that what we consider ‘normal’ matter in and around us, is actually anomalous. Actually, ‘extraordinary’ is not correct because the figures show that it is plasma that is ordinary. As beings of solids, liquids and gases, we are in a tiny minority.
In 1961 a Polish astronomer Kazimierz Kordylewski discovered two clouds between the Earth and the Moon. They were stationed at what is known as Lagrange Points, places where gravitational influences from the Sun, Earth and Moon cancel each other out. These will be prime real estate once space exploration gets going in earnest. Although, as Kordylewski discovered, at least two of those points are already taken. What is especially important here is Temple’s assertion that it should not be just physicists interested but biologists as well, for plasma may be alive in a much more expansive paradigm of what life is than we have accepted till now. If this is the case, those two clouds have an intelligence and complexity far beyond our comprehension. The Kordylewski clouds will be feeding from the solar wind, and as Temple puts it, ‘All of this happens at a far faster rate of evolution than is the case with organic life, and in its development would outpace organic evolution.’
Others may have been here before. In The Cosmic Pulse of Life: The Revolutionary Biological Power Behind UFOs Trevor James Constable describes his life-long quest to document invisible ‘critters’ as he calls them in our atmosphere. Constable was side-lined even by those in the UFO community – which I find ironic – as his assertion that much of the UFO phenomena were actually living creatures seemed too outlandish even for them. It didn’t help, I think, that he tended to digress into quasi-religious rants about Rudolf Steiner and others. Some judicial editing would have gone a long way. At its core though, there is some very interesting work illustrated by his photography in the infra-red and ultraviolet part of the spectrum. The link to tarrdaniel.com gives a good summary of his work, with some of the photographs.
One of the most intriguing passages in his book is where he quotes a pilot John Wood Jr. who, with others, was ‘hopping’ across flat mesas in Nevada in 1925. The small planes had landed on a mesa near Battle Mountain, when a large amoeba-like entity descended nearby. They were, of course, astonished but watched as the creature appeared to bleed a substance from a wound. Then a larger creature descended and healed the first by embracing it with tendrils. Then: ‘Both rose straight up and were out of sight in a second. They must have been traveling a thousand miles an hour to get so high so fast. When we walked over, there was an awful stench, and the frothy stuff the little one had bled looked like fine aluminum wire’
Something Constable does not seem aware of is that this ‘wire’ has been reported all over the world falling from the sky and sometimes called ‘angel hair’. There have been many explanations, some more credible than others, but this from Wikipedia is of particular relevance: ‘In the Portuguese city of Évora on November 2, 1959, a substance described as angel hair was collected and analyzed under a microscope by a local school director and later by armed forces technicians and scientists of the University of Lisbon. The scientists concluded that the angel hair was produced by a small insect of an unknown species or perhaps some kind of single-celled organism.’
Single-celled organisms are exactly what Constable claimed his ‘critters’ were, albeit rather large ones. Furthermore, this ties in with plasma in that if plasma entities existed their internal structure could well be crystalline and ‘[…] plasma people can exist, who are imperceptible to the optical nerves of the ‘physical people’ who are made not of plasma but of flesh and blood. Because we are incapable of directly perceiving the plasma people, we do not know they are there. And furthermore, they may be of such diffuse matter that they can pass through our dense physical matter and emerge intact…’ (Temple, Ibid)
Temple is –unknowingly – corroborating with Constable and others who claim that not only do UFOs and such move into the light spectrum invisible to us, such as infra-red and ultraviolet, physical matter can do the same i.e. move through various frequencies most of which we cannot perceive. This is not in our physics text books!
It is clear where I am going with this, that the presence I – and the dog – sensed above us in those Cornish hills was an invisible being which may or may not be connected to the Kordylewski clouds. People often theorise that the small craft we see in the skies are ‘scout ships’ from larger vessels, but could they not also sometimes be actual living ‘scouts’ from larger entities? This has been suggested also regarding the mysterious phenomenon known as ball lightning.
Ball lightning was so elusive and difficult to verify for such a long time, that mainstream science even disputed its existence along with ghosts and aliens. Now a quick search on YouTube will show much of what ball lightning can do, including change direction at ninety degree angles, move against the wind, pass unchanged through physical matter, interfere with electronics and disappear. Its behaviour, according to some, indicates intelligent control.
In the mid-nineties, having just moved to Oxford, I was aware that I was by Wiltshire where many of the crop circle formations had been appearing year after year, in Oxfordshire not so much. For an experiment, that spring I went to a field south of Oxford. The field looked so pristine, a blank canvas of (as I recall) wheat that had just started growing. I was curious whether the formations might be some sort of communication on a telepathic level, so I decided to ‘put it out there’ mentally that if anyone were listening to respond with a crop formation. As I was smoking a cigar at the time, I stipulated it should be in the shape of a cigar. I didn’t tell anyone about this, it was just between me and whatever. I was also being optimistic as no formations had ever been reported in that area to my knowledge.
At the start of summer the local newspapers were full of reports of a formation appearing in that field. I went to see it as quickly as I could, and was completely astonished with what I found. The formation was not in the shape of a cigar but circles of increasing width – like cartoon smoke from a cigar. Something had been listening, and responded quite wittily. I have attempted this elsewhere twice since, only once successfully, again with an unexpected response. There appears to be an intelligence of some sort around us, and crop formations are one of the ways in which the indetectable becomes detectable, tangible.
A few miles south-west of the ‘cigar smoke’ location is a place called Culham. At the time it was dominated by the now-demolished towers of Didcot power station, which were described by Marina Warner in a 1991 BBC documentary as having ‘a sort of incredible furious beauty’. I started investigating the area in about 1996 because of the sheer amount of UFO sightings.
One thing I learned a long time before was to scan local papers rather than national, because any censorship going on rarely had time to act with a local rag. In contrast, by the time any news gets to the national media, the desired narrative will have been enforced. With a good local paper the news is fresh, raw and fairly unfiltered. What I’d learned from the Oxford news was that there was a proliferation of black triangular UFOs, in what I came to think of as the Didcot-Culham-Oxford triangle, though it was more like a corridor, of activity. The picture here was taken on one of my evening jaunts.
One of the more puzzling stories came from a police officer who had been called in to investigate reports from the public about a strange phenomenon in the skies above Culham. He went to check and described – as I recall – how the sky had been lit up with glorious colours. Whatever it was, he said, and I paraphrase, ‘it was very mysterious and very beautiful.’ An explanation was never found as far as I know, and I didn’t see any follow-up in the papers.
One thing I had suspected for some time was that the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy on the outskirts of the village may have been a magnet for UFO activity. It was as if every time they fired up the boilers, otherwordly visitors came to have a look-see. That was one of my theories anyway. The policeman’s description of the phenomenon he experienced was very familiar to me as I had an electronic plasma ball on my desk for many years when I was a teacher. It seemed to me he had witnessed a light show much like the aurora borealis but close to ground level. And one of the key areas of research at Culham? ccfe.ukaea.uk
It remains unknown to me whether the light show came from the research centre or the visitors. I would like to consider the possibility of both, though the former is more likely. But then why wasn’t it seen again? I am comfortable with it remaining a mystery, and am impressed with the fact that the policeman’s report was more full of awe than suspicion. It may well have been a transformative experience for him.
Many experiences designated as spiritual could actually be material, as in keeping with both plasma research and x-dimensional theory – one of my earlier lecture subtitles was ‘The Spiritual is Physical’. A major inference I am getting from all this is that if you combine plasma research with my x-dimensional practice (XDP), pretty much everything is covered. That is not quite the extravagant claim it appears to be as much of XDP is accepting the Unknowable as much as the Unknown. A traditional scientist may feel dissatisfied with such a scenario. However, I am still struck with just how little actually surprises me when investigating reports of otherworldly encounters now.
Despite this, the adventure continues.
