Nathan Coppedge, previously the author of The Dimensional Psychologist's Toolkit and Nathan Coppedge's Perpetual Motion Machine Designs & Theory, here presents a variety of unique graphic symbols and archetypes. Short and sweet, this text is bound to confound its readers with its sense of originality and meaning as deep as the sea of Odysseus. This book is periodically updated with new images. Recent additions include 'Maze, ' 'Wit, ' and 'King's Highway' archetypes. The textual index of unique concepts is also updated occasionally, but is still undergoing work. For now it is, as I say, short and sweet.
Excerpt: ...of hoaxes that always accompany UFO publicity. Last, it would provide us with material on which to base a study of the effect of newspaper publicity upon the number and type of UFO reports. Colonel Dunn liked the idea of the clipping service, and it went into effect soon after the first publicity had appeared. Every three or four days we would get an envelope full of clippings. In March the clipping service was sending the clippings to us in letter-sized envelopes. The envelopes were thin-maybe there would be a dozen or so clippings in each one. Then they began to get thicker and thicker, until the people who were doing the clipping switched to using manila envelopes. Then the manila envelopes began to get thicker and thicker. By May we were up to old shoe boxes. The majority of the newspaper stories in the shoe boxes were based on material that had come from ATIC. All of these inquiries from the press were adding to Blue Book's work load and to my problems. Normally a military unit such as ATIC has its own public information officer, but we had none so I was it. I was being quoted quite freely in the press and was repeatedly being snarled at by someone in the Pentagon. It was almost a daily occurrence to have people from the "puzzle palace" call and indignantly ask, "Why did you tell them that?" They usually referred to some bit of information that somebody didn't think should have been released. I finally gave up and complained to Colonel Dunn. I suggested that any contacts with the press be made through the Office of Public Information in the Pentagon. These people were trained and paid to do this job; I wasn't. Colonel Dunn heartily agreed because every time I got chewed out he at least got a dirty look. Colonel Dunn called General Samford's office and they brought in General Sory Smith of the Department of Defense, Office of Public Information. General Smith appointed a civilian on the Air Force Press Desk, Al Chop, to handle all inquiries...

ON LAND . . . ON THE OPEN SEAS . . . IN THE AIR . . . LITERALLY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF UNSUSPECTING INDIVIDUALS HAVE VANISHED FOREVER AND WITHOUT A TRACE --- WHERE HAVE THEY GONE TO? --- WHO - OR WHAT - IS BEHIND THESE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES? --- Almost everyone knows about the seven Avenger Bombers who vanished in 1945 after taking off from their base in Fort Lauderdale. Concerned that they might have crashed into the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, rescue vessels and aircraft carriers went in search of the experienced aviators and their downed planes. They also vanished without a trace. But there are many other unresolved disappearances outside of the weird things that reoccur repeatedly inside the Devil's Sea, otherwise known as the Bermuda Triangle. Are aliens kidnapping humans from the face of the Earth? -- Are there openings to various parts of the globe that lead to other dimensions? -- Do what scientists call "Black Holes" abound in certain areas - invisible to the human eye? -- Is there a magnetic force that could drag vessels to the center of the Earth? -- Are some disappearances a part of a call to God's Kingdom, as part of the so-called "Rapture?" Could there be a huge crystal that activates itself from time to time, drawing passengers onboard planes and ships into another "time zone?" Do phantom ships patrol the graveyard of the deep? Is there a tie-in between UFOs, Monsters and Bizarre Beings? ON LAND SOME FOLKS HAVE WALKED OUT THEIR DOOR AND HEADED DOWN THE STREET - NEVER TO HAVE CONTACT WITH ANYONE EVER AGAIN It could be that we do not hold our lives in our own hands .... that we could be here one moment and gone FOREVER MORE the very next. Here are Secrets entrusted to no one. BEWARE - BE ALERT - BE FOREWARNED
