LIGHT ENERGYBALLS AT THE KAIMANAWAWALL,NZ.

by Rex GilroyCopyright Rex Gilroy 2008.

From our latest discovery at this major megalithic pyramid site, buried by a volcanic eruption around 240 AD, andnow covered by dense forest, it is certain that light energy balls has to be a world-wide phenomena at megalithicsites.

Heather and I returned to the Kaimanawa site on Sunday 16 th March 2008. We took video footage, as wellas digital and ordinary photographs of the site both in daylight and after dark.

Perhaps on our next New Zealand search, hopefully in 2009, we will carry out light energy ball filmingattempts at other megalithic sites, such as a large stone circle and stone alignments found by us at Lake Taupo, onMonday 17th March. Uru rock script was also found at this site. I am unable to show these here until we have thephotos developed. [Over 30 reels of films were taken that have yet to be developed!].

One massive site deserving of light ball investigation will be a castle-like formation outside Christchurch

where I uncovered a former Nim Sun Worship temple and sets of Uruan rock inscriptions.-0-

PTOLEMAIC ERAEGYPTO-LIBYAN INSCRIPTIONS AT NEW PLYMOUTH,NZ.by Rex Gilroy

Copyright Rex Gilroy 2008.

On Monday 31st March, 2008 Heather and I arrived in New Plymouth, to carry out one of our most importantinvestigations in New Zealands North Island. Here we stayed with our friends Brian and Phyl Darrah. Brian wasable to take us to a roadside boulder outside the town the following day, which bore mysterious engravings. Aphoto sent to me previously by Brian convinced me that the engravings were of Egypto-Libyan script and I soondiscovered that I had been correct.

The engravings extend around three sides of the boulder, which measured 8cm in depth on the roadside, by1.8m in length and the same in width.

The translation of the glyphs was carried out by me later that evening with the aid of my books on thetranslation of ancient scripts [always carried with us on our interstate and New Zealand searches].

The translations revealed yet one more example of extensive colonisation by mineral-seeking Middle-Eastern peoples who were voyaging Pacific waters centuries before James Cook.

The translation reads:

Our Supreme King of the Sun on the waters has sailed here with many peoplein sunny weather, sent by Ras breath, the wind. The Eye of Ra watches over Ra-ta,

whom this stone declares is King of the two lands joined*.

All give ear before the upright Son of the Sun whose name is engraved here in praise.Behold the flying serpent, the Sun Ra, in flight. Hail Ra in whose light has

been measured out and build Ar-ga-ba, City of Light, as recorded here upon this stone.[*North and South Islands].

Our book, Pyramids in the Pacific The Unwritten History of Australia contains a full account ofPtolemaic Egyptian history and maritime exploration of the Australia-New Zealand region.

Following Alexander the Greats destruction of the Persian Empire he made Egypt a subject kingdom ofGreece. In 331 BC he founded the city of Alexandria on the Nile Delta, and although he never visited it, after hisdeath in 323 BC his body was taken there for burial. In that same year one of his generals, Ptolemy, son of Lagos,took possession of Egypt and founded the Ptolemaic dynasty. In 305 BC he assumed the title of King, reigninguntil his death in 285 BC. In the meantime he had built up an empire of his own which besides Egypt includedCyprus, southern Syria and Cyrene, with parts of Greece and Asia. Thirteen Ptolemies would reign before Cleopatraended the Dynasty.

The Ptolemies revitalised Egypt, returning it to its former glory as an economical power. Great thinkers andthe scientists of the day flocked to Alexandria, whose famous library was their gathering place.

What is important to our story is that great fleets of ships loaded with mineral, gemstone and other riches-seeking explorers were regularly dispatched into the Indian Ocean to reclaim Egypts former colonies, particularly inthe Australia-West Pacific region. These colonists were usually a mixture of Egyptians, Greeks, Phoenicians,Libyans, even Celts.

The Ptolemaic explorer-colonists have left behind them a considerable amount of evidence, least of all thegreat number of Ptolemaic era bronze coins, and of these coins, those of Ptolemy the 4 th [221-204 BC] appear tobe the most commonly unearthed, both in Australia and New Zealand.

To return to the New Plymouth rock inscription The mention of a locally-appointed King [Ra-ta] andthe name of a city once established in this region [Ar-ga-ba] demonstrates that the colonists had long-term plans,such as mining the gold and copper to be found in the nearby inland mountain range.

While at New Plymouth Brian and Phyl Darrah took us to meet Dick and Junne Hagenson, whose farmingproperty proved to be interesting. While Dick took me for an inspection, in a paddock I picked up a 9cm long by8.5cm width and 3.7cm thick stone with the unmistakable image of a human head on both sides. The left profilebore a Phrygian cap, while on the right side, behind the eyes, nose and mouth were Phoenician glyphs that readLugi, the name of a Phoenician colonist who live here over 2,200 years ago.

There obviously has to be much more evidence of Ptolemaic Egypto-Libyan-Phoenician colonisationevidence in this district, and we shall certainly search for it when we return there, hopefully during 2009.

UFOS AND THE UNDERGROUNDWORLD OF THE KAIKOURAS,NZ.By Rex Gilroy


On our latest March 2008 New Zealand investigation Heather and I attempted to search the Molesworth area,situated behind the central Kaikoura mountain range, but found the road has been closed. Could this have anythingto do with the frequent sighting reports of Unidentified Flying Objects that have been seen for years, flying andhovering over, and even descending into remote valleys in that region?

Since the 1950s strange things have been going on out in that rugged and inhospitable wilderness. Lookingback over the years in my UFO files of reports given me by people who either heard of, or had their ownexperience with UFOs in that region, coupled with up-to-date accounts, a picture parallelling the goings-on in ourown Blue Mountains Burragorang Valley can be formed.

Trampers and mountain climbers and others, have all disappeared without trace over many years in thismysterious region. Naturally the authorities explain these disappearances as cases of people becoming lost and dyingof exposure in areas little, if ever visited by others. No doubt this explanation will suffice for some cases, but not all,and the evidence is mounting that there is something going on out there in those wilds that the authorities do not

want anyone to know about.New Zealand UFOlogists inform me that CIA and FBI agents are based in Auckland, Wellington andChristchurch, their varying jobs include spying on people who have informed the media of UFO activity anywherein New Zealand, and particularly in and around the Kaikoura region of north-eastern South Island.


7/18


The fact is that anyone who comes forward with claims of having witnessed UFOs, particularly of thesaucer variety, descending into, or emerging from camouflaged openings of an obvious deep underground base inthe Kaikouras, are in for a lot of trouble!

There are obvious parallels with the Australian underground bases, operated by the Australian-American[but of course American-dominated!] top secret organisation involved in the development of an advanced spacetravel technology, far ahead of anything officially known on the surface.

Readers can learn the full story in Blue Mountains Triangle Secret Australian-American UndergroundBases and the ET Connection [URU Publications 2007].

There seems no other explanation for the incredibly advanced space travel technology, other than it hassomehow been obtained from an extra-terrestrial source.

*****As with the Australian operations, the New Zealand South Island underground complexes are continually

being expanded deep beneath the earth with an immense number of American personnel besides New Zealandersliving there together with their families, in a self-contained underground world exactly as described in the Gilroysbook Blue Mountains Triangle.

This vast subterranean complex is guarded on the surface by troops constantly on patrol, as well as bycivilian-clothed military personnel, all aimed at keeping outsiders away and unaware of what is going on belowground. Curious intruders have vanished without trace.

The Kaikoura Base was established in secret early in the Cold War in a joint American-New ZealandGovernment agreement, like the Australian complexes, for the purpose of developing nuclear weapons; and like the

Australian complexes, the Kaikoura Base is interconnected with a network of underground towns via a road andrail system parallelling that of the Australian bases. In other words, the New Zealand operations are identical tothose of Australia in every way, right down to the undersea nuclear submarine bases which likewise are joined to theland through the road and rail tunnels, which transport supplies, as well as personnel to and from the navalundersea complexes.

The late Harvey Cooke once described these operations to me and said that Kaikoura mountain range was,quote, A very dangerous place to go into.

In a 2001 meeting with him at his Tauranga, North Island home, he went so far as to say that saucer-typecraft regularly flew from the Kaikoura Base to rendezvous with a great mother ship circling our planet. Here also heclaimed that the Americans who had secretly constructed the massive craft, had either met, or somehow established,a regular contact with the ETs from a highly-advanced galactic civilisation, from whom the technical informationfor the construction of an advanced space travel technology was being obtained!

*****Harvey Cooke was well aware that the scientists of the South Island complex were not only involved in the

construction and powering of spacecraft, but that they were [like their Australian counterparts] in possession ofwhat he called a super-advanced technology with which of course they could create a space travel free of theimmense time involved still being pondered by, surface world scientists apparently unaware of the top secretgoings-on beneath their feet; for these Bases, besides being located in the USA, Australia and New Zealand, are tobe found elsewhere in this world!

Time Window experiments of the Burragorang type are under way at the New Zealand complexes, asfrom the experiences claimed by people who have been tramping and camping in wilds close to the forbiddenzone. Motorists driving on isolated roads thereabouts over recent years have also claimed time lapses where theycould not recall what had happened to them between leaving their homes and arriving at their destinations, or elsethey had experienced time-travel to past events in the Kaikoura region; but then such experiences have been

reported from elsewhere in New Zealand, just as they are becoming commonplace around Australia.Some people have made sensational claims of having suddenly become weightless while tramping in these

wilds, to float above tracks or wherever they were for periods of up to several minutes or so. Sometimes a hummingsound has accompanied these experiences, the people gradually losing their weightlessness as the humming sounddecreased and faded away. I have similar accounts from Australia.

There have been ET abductions reported by people from the Kaikouras over the years, and in one or twocases trampers who have wandered where they should not have been, have afterwards claimed they were capturedby American military policemen in full uniform, and dragged off to an underground complex. Here they were

warned against returning to the area, and then released only after being administered some drug which has robbedthem of any memories of where they had been taken.

*****One day in 1960 a Mr John Stokes was exploring in the Molesworth area, when he was suddenly enveloped

by a heat haze while on a hillside. He found himself watching what appeared to be a large number of noisypeople; men, women and children, all dressed in 19 th century garments. There were men with gold dishes and otherequipment working along the creek below him while children ran about playing. He could see tents and huts in thedistance, while wagons drawn by draught horses were being drawn up above the creek as men removed picks,


8/18


shovels and other tools from them. John noticed the long dresses of the women, while many men wore tall hats. Awhole convoy of horse-drawn wagons was approaching along a dirt road in the distance.

What I was witnessing was a scene from the middle of the 19th century when gold was discovered in the creeks and rivers upthat way, he said to Harvey Cooke.

I could clearly hear their talking and shouts, but I recognised that many worlds were quite antique by todays standards.Then the haze faded along with the vision and I was suddenly back in my own time, he said.

Harvey was apparently not at all surprised, for he had heard many similar stories over the years, particularlyfrom the Kaikoura region.

One report Harvey Cooke gave me some years ago, concerned a UFO which, around 6am one Octobermorning in 1997, was sighted flying over the Molesworth district. The craft was judged to be a saucer-type craftabout 20 metres in diameter by those who saw it, and it shone silver as it moved swiftly across the sky.

The craft had been first spotted by a property owner as it appeared to suddenly shoot up behind amountain, then, while others observed it form other locations in the area, it proceeded to zoom over the Kaikouraseastwards out to sea.

Back in 1999 I obtained several reports over a period of saucers seen to descend at evening into a remoteregion in the depths of these mountains behind Kaikoura township, as if descending into an underground base,from which they did not re-emerge.

On January 12th 2003 a large, grey-coloured saucer was observed by people at Goose Bay south ofKaikoura, to fly from the south over their town towards Mt Fyffe, where it descended behind it, possibly into anunderground opening.

Large light balls, orange, yellow or reddish, even silver-glowing, are frequently seen at night emergingfrom the Kaikoura mountains, to fly off in various directions and some have been seen to return to their points oftake-off by locals.

The sightings and weird happenings hereabouts all point to the likelihood that a great underground UFOBase [to use the commonplace expression!] exists deep within the Kaikoura mountain ranges, and about whichNew Zealand military and other government authorities would rather the public knew nothing about.

UFOS OVERNEW ZEALANDSKYWATCHING IN NORTH ISLAND,NZby Rex Gilroy.


There has hardly been a trip to New Zealand on which the Gilroys have not returned without having sighted one ormore UFOs. Our latest visit is no exception, with some spectacular sightings being made at Lake Taupo and atKerikeri in the Bay of Islands.

The first encounter took place at 1.55am on Monday 17 th March 2008. We had had a tiring day on otherfieldwork, so that Heather retired to bed after we stopped at a Lake Taupo motel for the night. Waiting for cloudsto pass, I left the motel and crossed the nearby highway overlooking the lake to the west.

It was not very long before [at 1.55am that I spotted a large orange-glowing craft hovering over the farwestern side of the lake, high up and above the level of Mt Ruapehu. It then moved off to disappear over themountains at 2am.

This incident, observed by me with binoculars, was my first hoped-for encounter with a UFO since ourarrival in Auckland the previous Saturday.

My next UFO encounter, or rather encounters took place at Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands at 1.15am onSaturday 21st March 2008. I made these observations on the road outside the home of our friends Gary and YvonneStephens who, like heather were sound asleep.

There were clouds around and I at first had doubted that I would see anything if there were any UFOsaround. How wrong I was to be!

At this hour of night there was hardly a car on the road, so that I was able to stand in the middle of theroad, equipped with binoculars, a note book and pen, and torch to record what followed. The point where I wasgave me a perfect view of the eastern and western horizons, with reasonable vision to the north and southoverlooking the lights of Kerikeri township.

At 1.15am I spotted a greenish-glowing object as it moved from east to west above clouds. It moved pastthe full moon, to disappear above clouds to the west.

Then at 1.20am a golden yellow-glowing object moved into view in the east, travelling west of the sky atsome speed to the south of Kerikeri township. It appeared to slow down then stop directly above the town for a

whole minute, then resumed moving westward again, gaining speed before disappearing over the western horizon.This craft had barely disappeared as another pulsating white object appeared high in the eastern sky at

1.25am. As I stood watching from the roadside as a vehicle passed the object gained height as it passed overheadabove cloud level. Then, suddenly it stopped, and hovered for a moment before suddenly vanishing. As I watched


9/18


the light reappeared in the same place as before after 2 minutes at 1.27am it resumed movement slowly westward,stopping once more for a whole minute before continuing on out of sight over the horizon.

Then at 1.32am another UFO, in the form a of a green-glowing object appeared to the west above thehorizon, slowly moving east, to reach a position in the eastern sky nearby the bottom pointer star of the SouthernCross constellation. Here it commenced what eventually became a triangular movement, marked out in the nightsky by a massive chemtrail. It vanished, then reappeared only to vanish again, then reappear once again to leaveanother massive chemtrail in the sky, then another to the left of the triangular trail as shown in the accompanyingillustration. This strange object then vanished at 2am without any further reappearance. At this time incoming

clouds made Skywatching impossible so I returned to the house.*****Prior to our latest visit I learnt that a huge saucer-shaped craft had been seen by people hovering over the

Cape Reinga district at dawn on February 7 th 2008. The craft, as shown in the accompanying illustration, hadsparkling red lights arranged in three rows apparently encircling the craft. The craft was seen by people to hoverover the Cape area for a time before slowly moving off eastwards across the Pacific Ocean. It may have been thesame craft that landed in a paddock that night, where it stayed for an hour while a Maori family remained insidetheir house, switching off all their lights. The husband ventured out, a tomahawk in hand for protection, but as hedid so, there was a loud boom sound as the craft rose from the paddock, then gaining height flew off with awhoosh sound, vanishing over trees to the south.

BRONZE-AGE CELTS OF OLDAOTEAROA,NZ.by Rex Gilroy.


Our recent field investigations in New Zealand resulted in the turning up of a considerable amount of evidence ofpre-Tasman colonisation of New Zealand. Much of this evidence is on film not yet developed. It concerns not onlythe Uru, Egyptian, Phoenician and Libyan mariners, but also Celts and later, Swedish Vikings. We shall deal withthe unknown Scandinavian discoverers of the pacific region in our next newsletter, but for now let us turn to theCelts, who like their other ancient competitors, have left their rock inscriptions from Europe to Asia, Australia,

New Zealand and on to the Americas.On our previous [2001] New Zealand search, we were shown the mysterious Waipoua Forest stone villageruins. Other North Island ruins of this kind occur in the Bay of Islands and we investigated these also at that time.

These ruins and their accompanying rock inscriptions, place their origins back about 3,000 years, during the Bronze-Age [2000-1400 BC]. As it is becoming obvious that the so-called Maori hill forts or Pas, often great steppedpyramid-like structures, were actually built by Celts, paralleling their identical monuments to be found throughout

western Europe, then it is certain that, as with Australia, there was a considerable presence of this people in NewZealand, particularly in the much favoured, warmer North Island.

*****On Monday 17th March 2008 Heather and I stopped at Dannevirke, over Hawkes Bay way, where our

colleague and friend, Badger Bloomfield and his wife Jan had a great number of Amerindian relics in the form ofstone images, some quite small, of possible Mayan origin to show us. These relics were recovered at a coastal site we

hope to visit in 2009. However, it was something else which had brought us to his doorstep a massive roadsideboulder, the photos of which had previously been sent to us by another researcher and which showed Bronze-AgeCeltic ogham script!

Badger took us to the huge monolith, which he had discovered some time ago, gradually exposed byshifting soil on a roadside embankment overlooking a wide grassy valley, probably farmed by Celtic colonists of thedistrict at the time of this stones engraving.

It took us all day to sketch the great number of ogham glyphs that were still visible, and I am certain Imissed a message or two due to the faded condition of many letterings.

Among a maze of ogham lines and strokes [these Celts were messy writers!] I found the outlines of ahuman figure, a couple of ships, a large, deeply cut Eye of Bel, and an image of a Moa, the Nala Bird of thefollowing translation.

To ensure we got them all properly photographically recorded, I had to chalk them all in. The first photos

taken were of the unchalked glyphs, then after their chalking I rephotographed them. Once sketching of everyvisible ogham inscription had been made, and as the sun approached the western horizon, we washed the chalkaway and left for Badgers home. Back at our motel I was up late that night and I mean late, translating theinscriptions for Badger, who had been a great help to us to say the least.

The message gleaned from this huge rock, engraved some 3,000 years ago, stated:

Set 1.This stone declares King Ya-ta-ko-ha of the Sun,here commands all worship our Goddess Byanu.

Set 2.Gwynn declares that all people gather here in a body. The white son

of Hanab. Observe the Elder [or what the elder says]. Observe here the phallus

of the serpent* erected upright for our Goddess Byanu. She of the Yoni, Byanu,from this place of worship of the Finiki**.

Behold Byanus watchful Eye. Led by Hulag the black-haired whoinscribed this stone, at the city of.[remainder of message is missing].

[*the Phallus of the Serpent being that of the Sun-God, Bel, representedby a large, tall pillar. Perhaps it still survives, buried by time somewhere hereabouts.

** the word Finiki was the name by which the Phoenicians knew themselves].

Set 3.The ships of the Sun to this land of the Goddess arrive here from the North.

For the ships of [Admiral] Yalala the white men who come to this land, rejoice.At this place, the City of Ya-ta-la, all gather in praise of their coming.

Set 4.Here in Bels land of sunlight and water, our king, Ya-ta-ko-ha was slain.

Take heed, Bel observe, Bel we implore, to bodily punish the slayer.


11/18


Our God observe all. Observe our growing sorrow. Mab, Mother of Heroes mourns.[this set [4] of the inscriptions was obviously added later, following the apparent

killing by persons unrecorded, of King Ya-ta-ko-ha].

Set 5.Hero of Heroes!

The light of the Sun! Upon the mountain erect stands the phallus of Bel of the dark-haired, erected upon the mountain. The white pillar,by the men of Ham and Galatea [or Ga-la-tia] rejoice to the God. Behold his phallus stone erected. Bel the sun, beloved of Byanu.

Set 6.Placed here, upon this stone, by Gavin of the fair hair for Bel,

to this land, the gifts and prayers of the women of the Clan of the Nala Bird*.The ever-watchful Eye of Bel protect us all.

[*The Nala Bird, believed to be the giant moa species Dinornis giganteus].

It is obvious that these inscriptions were added to the great stone over a period of time. Perhaps on our projected2009 return visit I shall locate more, very faded glyphs on this monolith to add to our knowledge of Celtic activityin this district during the Bronze-Age [2000-1400 BC].

Badger showed me a small stone slab from the Dannevirke district found earlier by him. It was yet anothervotive offering inscribed specimen, which translated to read:

To Bel the Sun.Gawain the Elder son of Glyn gives white gain to the Sun Bel.

It was hard for us to have to bid farewell to the Bloomfields [and we eagerly await our 2009 return visit],but time was pressing. We left for other sites scattered across North Island knowing that the Dannevirke districthad once been the scene of a Bronze-Age Celtic colony of massive size. Badger had also provided me with otherinformation of Viking contacts hereabouts, but that is another story to be pursued in our next newsletter whenhopefully, we shall have the photos of New Zealands Viking rock inscriptions found on this visit developed!

*****One cannot however ignore the Vikings here. Swedish Viking rock engravings were of course found by us

at Milford Sound [South Island] in 2000 and 2001, and on our latest trip I came across an image of the God Thorholding his hammer in his ship, beneath which was another longship image with oars projecting from its side. This

find was made up Cape Reinga way, and later I was to find three rock inscriptions of Swedish Viking origin, carvedby alter Scandinavian colonists at a Bay of Islands Celtic stone Village site, established centuries beforehand.

On Thursday 23rd March we arrived at the Kerikeri home of our friends and top field assistants Yvonneand Gary Stephens. Situated within the Bay of Islands the Stephens have been a continual great help to ourresearches, with Yvonne forever chasing up discoveries for us to inspect. It was Yvonne who discovered the ruinsof a massive Uruan Nim Sun-Worship temple at a remote Bay of Islands site, which we measured out and recordedduring our 2001 New Zealand search. [See Chapter 14, page 270 Uru The Lost Civilisation of Australia].

The day after we arrived at Yvonne and Garys home we were taken by Yvonne to meet another lady whowould become a valued field assistant in locating an ancient stone wall Yvonne had learnt of hereabouts. Our newfriend was Mrs Maureen Yorke, and she is a mine of information on the local Maori culture and other mysterieshereabouts. On Monday 24th march Heather and I, Gary and Yvonne, together with Maureen, drove to see a localfarmer and his wife, on whose forest-covered property stood the mystery ruins lining a creek on a densely-forested

hillside.We fought our way through some pretty difficult terrain and failed to find the ruins on the first attempt.

However, the owner returned with us to the area and showed us how to get there, he even cut a track throughdense foliage for Heather and I to return later, so I could properly measure and record the wall.

On Wednesday 26th March when we returned to the site I uncovered seven inscribed boulders, one ofwhich bore a large head of Bel image, discovered at the base of a section of wall.

The wall not only had a wide opening for people to move through to and from the creek, but furtheralong I uncovered the remains of a stone stairway down off the walled embankment onto the 2m wide creek. The

wall had fallen away in places but where it was intact it measured 1.1m high by up to 50.35cm width at the top andas much as 1.13m at the base. The stones were all carefully placed and I measured the structure at 32.9m in length.

The remains of two other, widely-spaced walls continued through inaccessible scrub up a hillside on the south sideof this east-west direction wall. I realised the wall led downhill, eventually onto another property where in 2001 I

was shown extensive remains of ancient stone housing, from where 3,000 year old Celto-Phoenician rockinscriptions were retrieved by me.

Not all the photos are yet available of the relics found in the walls vicinity however, the following examplestaken on Heathers digital camera will give an idea of the importance of this ancient site.
