The Blue Mountains, which lie 66 miles west of Sydney, New South Wales Australia has,for generations been the scene of countless eerie happenings involving UFOs and the beings whonavigate them. But of all the incredible incidents that have taken place throughout this vastwilderness region, the accounts given by people who claim to have been abducted by Extra-terrestrial beings stand out in such numbers as to suggest that the ETs are taking a specialinterest in this region.

What follows are case-histories gathered by the Blue Mountains UFO Research Club, andare some of the many reports included in Blue Mountains Triangle UFO Close Encounters, AlienAbductions and the Underground UFO Base Mystery [URU Publications] to be published by Rexand Heather Gilroy in 2007.

*****The Alien Abduction phenomena forms part of the many mysterious, and oftensinister incidents occurring within what my wife Heather and I have called the BlueMountains Triangle which will be the subject for another future UFO encounter article.

Over the years aircraft as well as people have vanished without trace, the latterpresumably abducted. Others have been abducted and returned by their ET captors.

In 1959 my friend, the late Kenneth Beames, noted astronomer of Linden on theBlue Mountains, related the experience of friends of his, a husband and wife, Phil andSusan who were asleep one hot summer night at their Lawson home. They had lefttheir bedroom window open.

About 3am Susan was woken by the sensation that Phil was getting out of bed.They only had a sheet covering them, and to her horror, she saw in the moonglow here

pyjama-clad husband levitating over the bed beside her, then float off out the window!Susan rushed outside the house and was about to go around the side where the

bedroom window was situated, when she saw Phil rising 50ft [about 15.25m] up into acircular craft some 60ft [about 18.28m] in width [as she told Ken Beames later]. Phil wasrising up into a square, glowing opening beneath the craft and vanished into it.

The glow faded and the craft remained hovering in darkness. Susan, terrified andfrantic, was about to run and phone the police when and this was after about 2-3minutes of indecision the glowing square opening began to fade in to a full glow.Phils body re-emerged, floating horizontally to the ground. Here he awoke and got tohis feet as Susan fainted! Phil watched as the mystery craft silently moved off and atincreasing speed, flew off into the night.

When Susan woke up, Phil told her what had happened to him. He had woken tofind himself standing in his pyjamas with four beings standing around him clothed inmetallic-type silver garments.

Who are you? Whats happened to me? Where have you taken me? he said heasked the beings. They gave no reply.

The room he was in was about 10ft square and glowed a soft yellow. He still hadhis watch on and glanced at it as the beings eyed him over. After 15 minutes theymotioned him to a door that slid open upwards, into a room full of apparatus beyond hiscomprehension.

They made me stand in front of a door-size screen which flashed once, and Iwondered if it was some kind of photographic device. Then I was given a long plastic-looking orange-coloured cup to drink some clear liquid and made to lie on a kind of tablethat emerged from the ceiling on four long rods, one on each corner and all silvery. Ithen lost consciousness. I cant recall what happened next, he told Susan and later Ken

Beames.However, when he again looked at his watch half an hour had elapsed inside the

craft until he was floated down to the ground!Half an hour compared with the 2-3 minutes Susan had frantically spend on the

ground!During 1955 UFO sightings were reported over a wide area of the Blue Mountains.

In April that year a light aircraft flying from Cowra in the west was observed by peopleabout 11am in the Oberon area, and by about 11.30am it flew over Blackheath towardsthe Grose Valley. Here it was seen by people to enter a large cloud, whereupon it did notreappear. Instead, a large grey-coloured saucer-type UFO emerged from the cloud andzoomed off northwards. RAAF [Royal Australian Air Force] officials at Richmond airbaseoffered no explanation when approached by phone callers.

On the western side of the Blue Mountains, at Shooters Hill south of Oberon, oneafternoon in the winter of 1960, a man hiking along a dirt road was claimed seen by ahousewife from her kitchen window, to just disappear into a silvery-glowing ball oflight, which immediately shot off at great speed over her house.

This incident brings to mind the strange disappearance of one Ed Koch, 22 yearsold in the winter of 1966, who was said to have disappeared while walking one nightaround 10pm along Cliff Drive in south Katoomba, at a point south of Katoomba fallsnear Eagle hawk Lookout, which overlooks the Jamieson Valley.

It was about this time that a huge yellow-glowing craft was claimed seen fromtheir homes by eyewitnesses, to descend upon the road near the Lookout. Was Ed Kochabducted? There was no response from the police or any other authorities.

ETs have sometimes just been content to play with Earthlings. Take the story ofJohn and Joan Farrell, who while driving along Kings Tableland Road towards WentworthFalls township on the night of June 15th 1978, saw a green-glowing saucer whichzoomed up along the road behind them to hover above their car, keeping pace withthem as John put on the speed.

It was at this point that the silent craft above them emitted a force field that liftedthem off the road then dropped them about 1.2 metres, three times in successionbefore it zoomed off over the Jamieson Valley to the west.

*****And then there is the strange case of Jack Davey

During August 1973 I had an interview with this man in his mid-20s. Jack, whocame from the Penrith district, informed me that he had been the subject of an alienabduction. In the course of his abduction, he claimed he had spent what amounted tomany months, perhaps years, on another earth-like planet, inhabited by what he calledultra beings beings who conversed with mental telepathy who lived in citiescomprising of gigantic clear glass-like, domed buildings, or others of metal, inter-connected by roads of a metallic substance above and along which they were able totravel in hover craft-type machines, or by a form of back pack rocket apparatus workedby buttons on their chests.

In the time he was there he was given his own residence, and was shown a vastmuseum-like building, whose exhibits seemed limitless and visited by means ofhover-craft conveyances, as the displays were in sections perhaps as much as 500mapart!

But how did all this begin?Jack was a geology student at the time and well educated. He was riding his

motorcycle out to Jenolan Caves one day in June 1970, when he decided to continue onout to Kanangra Walls. The time was around 10am when he reached the dirt road near

the Oberon turnoff, where as he travelled along the road among the gum trees, he wasovercome by a bright silvery glow that lit up the road ahead of him as he drove into it.

The weather had turned dull not long before this, so that the glow was strongenough to light up the forest. It came from directly overhead. I was still on my bike atthe moment I entered the glow. Now I found myself floating swiftly up into a largeobject that appeared circular and then a floor closed beneath me and I found myselfinside a glowing light blue room.

The silvery glow had been bright, but not blinding. The day had been cold butnow I felt neither cold nor hot.

The room was flat but hexagonal, with a domed ceiling. It was 50ft [15m] acrossand 12ft [3.66m] high. I felt terrified of course, but then felt a voice telling me that allwas well and I began to feel relaxed.

Then a section of wall slid silently open and three beings about 6ft [about 1.83m]tall, greyish-blue and typically alien in appearance [as I have since seen described in

publications] approached me.They led me into another large room where everything was of the same light

bluish colour, and all kinds of weird apparatus around.I was prodded and poked by these beings. All were naked. All were males with

similar sex organs to us. Their mouths were small, similar-looking teeth, noses like us,and large doe-like eyes.

There was a large metallic oblong block in the rooms centre and having been

made to remove my clothes I was told telepathically, to lie in a body-shapeddepression on it. Having done so I felt magnetised and glued to the metal. I was leftalone and shortly afterwards just passed out.

Ill never know how long I was unconscious, but I woke up with a large number ofthese males around me. Two held my clothes, shoes and all. I arose and got dressed asall watched. Then I was ushered with them through an opened wall, along a brightly lit

passageway and into a large tubular walkway of about 20ft wide. We had it appeared,left the craft and soon we all entered the hall via the roof of this great building. I saw agreat many males and females of these beings, standing about and could hear theirtelepathic chatter.

I entered a great open, stone-paved plaza, domed glass-like and metallic square

and other shapes, even pyramidal buildings around it. Hundreds of these grey-blue andother coloured beings were around me watching as I was led by two of the crewmen.All the time Jack related his story I asked questions such as, what were their toilet

arrangements?A kind of press-button evaporation system in a toilet bowl similar to ours, but

made of a kind of crystally-metallic substance.Where did you live, while you were on this other world? I asked.I was placed in a house-sized, green coloured building, dome-shaped; oddly

shaped furniture, a soft rubbery substance coating what appeared to be a bed in shape,and there my two companions left me alone, but not before I was shown large roundand other shaped fruit-like vegetables and drinks of different colours, in containerssomewhat like plastic jars and bottles. One of the beings told me telepathically how to

eat and drink these foods.In all the time I was with these beings I never saw them eating anything

approaching meat.All the time I had been awake since my arrival that first day, I asked where am I,

where have you taken me? and who were they? They gave no answer and it was then Irealised I could think the questions and began receiving answers.

I was flown in an oval-shaped hover-craft type vehicle along a metallic road andshown what I was told was another world located in another time period, and on ahigher vibration to that from which I had come.

The terrain, the atmosphere, was it any different from our own? I asked.Jack answered that he saw narrow waterways and a couple of wide rivers that

wound their way into an open countryside of green and other coloured grass-like plants.I saw enormous trees perhaps 400ft [120m] or more height forests of them.

Blooming yellow and other flower-like plants of great size grew on the hills and alongthe roads.

The atmosphere was a greenish-blue pale colour and a great Sun larger thanours was high in the clear sky. The temperature was neither very hot nor cold.

Jack was suddenly stopped on a hilltop that overlooked an ocean. Strangewatercraft were to be seen. The two naked beings informed him that the water wasdrinkable.

I was afterwards returned to my home and left alone, with the promise that Iwould be picked up again and shown around the next day.

The Sun set and total darkness fell. I soon fell asleep. I knew that I could donothing but follow their directions.

I could not find out how long I had slept when I was woken by these twokeepers. I began begging to be taken home, but was told that they had no advice on

this as yet.Led to the city centre I was introduced to a male and female pair in a glass-like

building, sat in a soft couch-like rubbery seat, and informed that I had been taken atrandom for study; that this had been carried out on me even when I was alone in mydwelling, and also while I slept, via some unrevealed means.

The beings all had names, I was told, and that they were ruled by a leadership,and that theirs was not the only race on this gigantic planet, which I was informed wasfour times the size of my own.

Beyond their land were others containing six different races of similarappearance to this one.

I tried to ask questions, even the names of the male and female with whom I hadbeen left. Instead they led me to a kind of lift which conveyed us to a wide, round room

all of metal at least 150ft [45m] in width and about 20ft [6.1m] high, in the midst ofwhich was a door-size metal frame. I was motioned to pass through this, and as I did Ientered a whole new dimension, and in a kind of living movie was witness to scenes ofthe other lands and their inhabitants, and often weird animal life that passed before me.I stepped back through the door and as I did so, the scene behind me vanished.

I had already observed that the males of these beings stood from 5 to 6ft [1.53-1.83m] tall and that the females, more slender, averaged up to 5ft [1.53m].

The female beings afterwards told me many things about the advanced culturesof this planet, which I was now informed was called by them Rixzicron.

It also turned out that my brain had been tapped and my memory bank studied.They knew all about my life!

I was told by the male being that my own race was still at a very low stage ofevolution, compared with the races that inhabited Rixzicron. However, I was now to beput into a trance state and certain information of this planet and other worlds in spaceimplanted in my mind.

Before I lost consciousness I was informed that the inhabitants of this planet wereUltra beings at the very peak of evolution, and that when I came to I would possesshigher knowledge.

I woke up on the roadside lying beside my motorbike. Somewhat dazed, it tookme a moment to recall the weird experience I had just had. I looked at my watch tosee that the time was 9.30am.

How I had been returned and how I woken up half an hour before I had beencaptured by that spacecraft I shall never understand!he said.

Jack continued his incredible tale.I realised that I was alone, no other vehicles around, and none had apparently

passed during my absence.I started my bike and returned home as soon as I could. I told the rest of my

family, but no-one believed me. Yet I suddenly realised I could remember theinformation implanted in my mind while in the trance state.

I could not explain at the time how I was suddenly able to recite information of ahighly technical nature hitherto unknown to me.

This interview, at my then Mt York Natural History Museum, at Mt Victoria NSWwas given only a few months before Jack Davey suffered a breakdown as the result ofhis experience, and later he left Australia with his family.

The information imparted to him was voluminous, but that concerning ultrabeings he wrote down for me, the rest remained secret.

The interiors of the spacecraft are often filled with glowing lights of varyingcolours also, and if the beings do not appear though doors, they have been known tomaterialise by stepping through the walls of the craft.

The Late Kenneth Beames once described to Heather and I the case of a family atSpringwood, on the Blue Mountains, one night in 1967, in which a 6ft tall [1.83m] tallbluish presence stepped through the loungeroom wall to stand and observe thefrightened people before stepping back through the wall. Dogs outside were barking andas the father dashed outside the house, he was just in time to see a silvery-glowingsaucer of about 15 metres across, which had been hovering above the roof of thehouse, zoom away at an incredible speed, eastwards in the direction of Penrith and thewestern suburbs of Sydney, where other people reported seeing the UFO that night.

On the night of Wednesday 24th September 1986, about 11pm, 19 year old Leticia

Martin was driving along Richmond Road towards Kurrajong, when she claims, her carwas suddenly enveloped in a blue glow through which she could see nothing. At thesame time her engine and lights died. She felt slightly weightless, as if the car hadlifted off the road. Then within an instant, she felt her car come to rest. The blue glowfaded away, at which, terrified, she opened her car door and scrambled outside to findthat she was in a paddock, which she realised was nowhere near Kurrajong but on theoutskirts of Penrith. Ahead of her was a yellow-glowing egg-shaped craft about thesize of an average house, as she described it.

I was just 50ft [15 metres] away from it. The glow was pulsating. A roundopening appeared and I could see a bright pink glow but nothing else. I wasdumbfounded at first but regained my senses and was about to run to a nearby housefor help when I felt my arms being held by what felt like two invisible forces [or beings?]

drawing me towards the opening.I was within a few feet of the opening when, with all my might I tried to break

free. I felt magnetised, drawn inside, then the opening vanished. In my terrified state Ifound my whole body frozen of movement as the feeling of unseen fingers proddedand pressed into my body.

I must have blacked out. When I awoke I was lying on the ground. I saw a familyemerge from a nearby house. I ran to them, in a terrible state, sobbing, and asked themhad they seen what had just happened.

It appeared that I was on their property, and the husband and wife wanted toknow what I was raving about. And how had I driven my car into their paddock whichwas fenced off from the road. I told them my story and all they said that they saw was

me leaping from my car and making funny movements and standing still in the middleof the paddock before collapsing onto the ground, while they watched from a window.By now I was embarrassed and got back into my car while one of their sons went

off and opened a side driveway gate and I was off as quick as I could as the family stoodthere laughing their heads off.

I glanced at the car clock, the time was 7.30pm! I had been released three and ahalf hours before I had been abducted!

Leticia was interviewed a year later by Don Boyd, since deceased, and formereditor of Psychic Australian Magazine and who subsequently related her strange taleto me.

*****The strange abduction tale of Leticia Martin is typical of the time-bending

activities of ETs, and there are many more similar abduction accounts in my possessionin which abductees have been returned to Earth at varying times before they wereabducted. One can only marvel at the technical advances of the ETs from their super-civilisations elsewhere in our Galaxy, who are able to bend time to their will. I shallreturn to these reports in a future article. Meanwhile readers KEEP WATCHING THESKIES!

MEGALANIA LIVES!A selection of reports gathered by the Gilroys 2006 investigations.

By Rex Gilroy

Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006.

To hard-core university-based zoologists and palaeontologists, Megalania priscaOwen, better known as the Australian giant monitor Lizard has been extinct for at least3,000-some say over 7,000 years. Yet there are a great many people, from the NewGuinea wilds to over a wide area of Australia, who have claimed sightings, even veryclose encounters with these 25-30ft [7.62-9.15m], 3,000 lbs or more weight killing

machines Even larger specimens have been claimed seen!Modern-day sightings claims of these reptilian nightmares extend over a wide

area of Australia, from New South Wales, South Australia, the Northern Territory andWestern Australia. There are frightening tales from the north Queensland forests andthe Gulf country.

Outside Leigh Creek one night in 1970 a monstrous reptile was described bycampers as having strode through their northern Flinders Ranges campground.

To the south-east of Lake Gaidner in the dry mulga scrub of the Gawler Track,several Aborigines were riding an old truck, when they saw a 40ft long monstergoanna striding through scrub. This sighting, in September 1969, is not the only one ofoversize extinct Megalania prisca lizards in South Australias interior.

Take, for example, the incident that happened west of Roxby Downs in November

2000. The author was informed that two government employees were driving their 4-wheel drive vehicle near Lake Younghusband one afternoon, when the men, Craig andLionel claim they saw a monstrous 45ft long goanna standing 8ft from feet to top ofback [ie 2.44m], its massive body and tail of mottled colouration, and a fearsomemassive head looking in their direction from mulga.

We didnt wait around and drove on, said Craig. We were worried it mightpursue our vehicle, which had to travel slow in the particular rough conditions we werein at the time, he said.

A 25ft [7.62m] long grey-black goanna was claimed to be moving about in theOodnadatta region during the summer of 1972, and was seen by many people. Inanother incident a giant lizard of 21ft [6.4m] was seen attacking poultry on a Coober

Pedy property in 1947. And in another memorable incident, a husband and wife, Trevorand Aida Sidney of Perth, Western Australia, while on a prospecting holiday in January1961 in the William Creek area of Coober Pedy, were startled by the sudden appearanceof a huge, grey-black mottled skinned goanna - The head the size of a 12 gallon drum they agreed later, as it emerged from trees to stand on four thick powerful legs about10ft above the ground, said Aida. Its body was, they said, the thickness of a panel van.

The monster had just killed a cow nearby, and as the people watched thefearsome reptile turned and picked up the dead animal in its powerful jaws and strodeback into the bush. The terrified couple agreed later that the goanna was at least 45ft[13.7m] in length!

Lungkata is the Central Australian Aboriginal name for the Blue Tongue Lizard,but it is also the name given to a giant goanna of the Dreamtime. Lungkata would attack

tribespeople in camps, or in swamps.The Darling-Murray River banks were the resting places of terrifying lizard giants

called Whowhie and the ancient tribespeople kept well clear of there. Even in the early1900s stories of butchered stock and even people who came too close to these reptiles,were still rife. In 1911 a farmer outside Narrandera vanished without trace. Some days

later a local stumbled upon one of his legs with boot still attached [the right foot]. It wasenough for people to keep their children from roaming far from the homestead, andproperty owners carried guns wherever they went for safety. However, the monstereventually moved on elsewhere.

*****The eastern Australian tribespeople had a name for these giants, Mungoon-galli.

He was said to hunt at night animals and humans were both on the menu, andtribespeople would not light campfires in fear of attracting one of these monsters.

Mungoon-galli was known particularly to the Blue Mountains Aborigines, who

feared entering certain haunts of these monster-goannas, such as the Kanangra Boyd-Burragorang wildernesses, as well as northwards in the Wollemi swamplands, whereadventurous bushmen have claimed sightings, even finds of their fresh five-toed tracksin swamp mud in recent times.

During winter 2006 the Gilroys made searches in the fabled dinosaurswamplands of the Wollemi Wilderness and on the last search Greg Foster accompaniedus. Greg and I penetrated deep into this often eerie landscape, a veritable lost world,where we uncovered pathways created by apparent oversized lizards in their crashingthrough the dense undergrowth too and from creeks and swamps. In the winter monthsis it safe to move about through the tall swampgrass in these areas, but it is unwise toventure here in summer, for the whole region is alive with black snakes, brown snakes,death-adders and tigers. Anyone bitten in such remote regions has very little chance of

obtaining medical help. The Gilroys prefer winter for their searches here!The extinct Megalania prisca goannas continue to roam the Australian

wilderness, defying the official decree that they must remain extinct, yet the amountof sightings reports suggest that Megalania, or else something very much like himcontinues to survive much to the utter contempt of hard-core scientists, but to theutter delight of more open-minded investigative Cryptozoologists!

New Lost City Discoveries in the Kanangra wilds.By Rex Gilroy

Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006.

On Monday 19th November 2006 Heather, Ann Taylor and myself, made a visit tothe Kanangra Boyd National Park. My objective was to search an area in the vicinity of

the great Nim temple site, located in October 2005 and since then measured by GregFoster and I.This temple, located deep within virtually inaccessible terrain, is reached with

difficulty. Heather, due to a problem with her right leg, remained with the car while Annand I spent much of the day battling our way through the dense scrub.

Eventually reaching the Nim sun-worship temple, we ventured even further intothe forest depths, in country which virtually swallowed me up in July 1999 when I waslost overnight in below zero freezing temperatures. Something had told me toinvestigate the area in question and the results were to prove astounding.

Time was against us when we stumbled upon this latest discovery, so that wecould carry out only a preliminary investigation of the area and take some photos.However, we will resume work on this new site early in 2007.

There before us, standing amid tree and shrubbery were often massive, weather-worn stone structures, granite circles, alignments, a square temple and other relics ofthat bygone race, the Uru.

We soon realised that these structures, sometimes amid natural graniteformations, covered an area of at least several acres, and there certainly has to bemore.

Upon a rockface we came upon a weathering inscription in Uruan glyphs. Thesewere afterwards translated to read:

Nim encompasses the earth, his cup pours forth life-giving rays of warmth.Nim the Sun. Arta protects his temples and all other temples of the Gods

watched over by the Eye of Nim.In offering give to the gods temple, offerings to the sun for the plant foods his

warmth provides.[*Arta was the dingo God who protected temples from desecration].

I am certain that this latest find was the ceremonial heart of the Lost City ofKanangra upon which Heather and I have worked for over the past 12 years. Theselatest finds certainly reveal the city covered a region well over the 10 square kilometersoriginally thought.

When the city arose this region had been cleared for habitation, now oftenmassive gum trees grow up through the granite ruins of dwellings, temples,astronomical observatories. The entire city complex must date back at least 50,000years and no later than around 10,000 years ago.

One very important find was the reclining, weathered image of the Earth-Mothergoddess, Nif. Her right arm enfolding the image of the sun [Nim]. Her left arm crossingher chest. The image measured 3.5m in length by 1.6m above ground and up to 1.3m indepth.

I do not believe that this momentous discovery is the last by any meanshereabouts, and that in the years ahead a very long list of megalithic monuments will beadded to the already growing list of pyramidal and mound structures and other relics.

The reclining Nif image now joins the great erect image of Ga-na, the kangaroo deityand Protector of the gods, which stands at another forest location, guarding theapproach to a Nim temple site, a feature of which is a pyramid mound.

Ann Taylor and I had to work fast as the sun began sinking in the west of the vastforestland. Before abandoning the site we found a massive granite head, probably Nim;

the remains of a ceremonial platform with the weathered head and neck of a largeserpent [ie Sun] image; another circle of large granite rocks, and a couple of stonealignments, which when originally placed, had a clear view of the heavens in alldirections.

It was hard for us to leave, but we had to, in order to escape being caught outthere in the dark.
